Peugeot HX1 Concept – a low-riding MPV – to debut at Frankfurt 2011

Peugeot HX1 Concept – a low-slung MPV Don’t look at the Peugeot HX1 Concept and think you’ll be walking in to your local Peugeot showroom next year and driving off in one, because you won’t.

A bit like a Mercedes R-Class with a proper injection of Gallic style and flair.
