The facelift Peugeot
RCZ sports coupe is headed for the 2012
Paris International Motor Show. The little fun pug we enjoyed so much has
so far sold 44 000 units
worldwide, and is now sporting a brand new face, including new-shape headlamps with LED
daytime running lights, a smaller front grille and an entirely new front bumper.
The new RCZ will feature pretty much the same engines as the current model. What we
are talking about here is the 1.6-litre
turbo petrol making either 115kW
and 240Nm, or 147kW with 275Nm of torque. You can mate that with
a 6-speed manual or auto. Or you can
also choose a powerful yet frugal 2.0-litre
HDi turbo diesel with 120kW and 340Nm. Any of these motors works well
with the RCZ. We’ve driven all three and enjoyed every moment like true French kisses.
There are new colour combinations available to customers who
choose to personalise their RCZs even
more. Following the Paris unveiling, expect to see the RCZ facelift in Mzansi early next year. It might even
make it to JIMS (Johannesburg
International Motor Show) 2013.
