The Plug-In Citroen Metropolis is an Earth-Friendly Luxury Ride
Michael Hines — April 22, 2010 — Autos
The Citroën Metropolis proves that not even limousines are impervious to hybrid technology. They held out as long as they could.
The Citroën Metropolis is the first hybrid limo that I have ever heard of. Adding hybrid technology to a limo just seems to make sense though. The Citroën Metropolis has a V-6 gas engine delivering 272 bhp. The Citroën Metropolis has all the usual bells and whistles of a hybrid. My favorite sounding bell is the available AWD. Music to my ears. This eco-limo is set to debut at the Shanghai World Fair. Keep your eyes on the lookout.
