Peugeot has released these pictures of its Prologue concept ahead of its debut at the Paris show next month. Clearly close to the production spec of its ‘crossover’ MPV, the Prologue is likely to be badged as the 3008 when it goes on sale.

The concept also uses a hybrid drivetrain – although Peugeot is staying coy about whether it has a petrol or diesel engine. It’s claimed to be capable of combining 200bhp performance with CO2 emissions of just 109g/km, and it can also operate in electric-only mode.

PSA has already confirmed that it is developing a hybrid powertrain, which will be able to work with both petrol and diesel engines, and which is scheduled to reach the market in 2010.
