Peugeot iOn review and price - The battery is designed as an urban wanderer, primarily for use by any one driver or a passenger. Rear cabin space is therefore quite tight, but that can be used for short journeys. Not many boxes in advance, but despite that the battery is stored in the trunk floor, the cargo space of 196 liters is just large enough to fit a few shopping bags, and the division of seats Double back and make space a little more, but definitely not load lugger.
Safety and reliability.
The ion is a handy 3.4m long, but narrower than a European city dweller. Rear-wheel drive contributes to a turning circle at hand, however. It’s powered by a rear-mounted 64bhp electrical motor, whereas the 88-cell, 16kWh lithium ion battery pack is mounted below the centre of the vehicle. The rear electric motor and light steering, precise driving fun, and the work of Peugeot in the cockpit has the most comfortable ion i-MiEV. The front disc/rear drum brakes are powerful, particularly combined with the improved regenerative braking.
The ion is the rear-wheel drive and because the engine has no moving parts that need time to spool up, all 180 Nm of torque is available almost instantly, making it feel very fast until 30 mph. There is no engine noise to speak of what is extremely refined in the city, and the automatic transmission has just one gear, which makes it very soft. The high driving position and large windscreen offer wonderful visibility, and also the iOn is compatible to town traffic. The disadvantage is that the ion really struggles on the road or highway, where he was confined to the inside lane to save battery. Thin wheels and is high also means that your best not to make great demands on the chassis when cornering. Otomodification
