Dimensions of the 2008 Concept are the same as the UCC, 13.7 feet long and 5.7 feet wide, making it more compact in both directions than a Ford Focus hatch. Peugeot designers in the company’s studios in Paris, Shanghai and São Paulo penned it, and the vehicle’s staggered production rollout will come to those cities first.
