The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid and Hybrid4 can now be reserved from 35,200 euros

The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid and Hybrid4 is a plug-in hybrid SUV with up to 59 km of electric range, and reservations are now open

The new pair of plug-in hybrid crossovers, which can be charged from the mains electricity grid, is Peugeot, and they have already opened their order books. The Peugeot 3008 PHEV, in both its four-wheel-drive and two-wheel-drive configurations, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 and the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid, begin their commercial life as hybrid cars, a status that will surely help them become one of the best-selling SUVs of 2019, allowing future customers to place a firm order.

That is why the price of the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 and Hybrid has already been announced. For the first version, the four-wheel-drive model, the price starts at 42,950 euros, and for the version where the powertrain drives only the front axle, from 35,200 euros.

The mechanical configuration of the plug-in hybrid Peugeot 3008

This Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 has a mechanical set-up in which the star is the petrol-fuelled PureTech combustion engine, which alone delivers 200 CV, combined with two 80 kW electric motors, equivalent to 110 horsepower, for a total of 300 CV distributed across its wheels.

For its part, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid differs from the Hybrid4, in addition to being a two-wheel-drive car, in having a petrol PureTech combustion engine of 180 CV paired with a single 80 kW electric motor.

Thanks to the 13.2 kWh battery, the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4, in 100 percent electric mode, has up to 59 km, while the Hybrid can travel up to 40 km using only the electric motor.

Depending on the driving modes activated, Electric, Sport, Hybrid or 4WD, in electric mode it can reach a top speed of 135 km/h. It also has Hybrid mode, which balances the use of chemical and electrical energy, and Sport mode, where the power of the electric motors works alongside the petrol engine to deliver maximum performance. Finally, only on the Hybrid4, 4WD mode distributes the optimal traction over difficult surfaces.

It includes the e-SAVE energy-saving function, which allows electric energy to be preserved for 10 or 20 km, or the full electric range, to be used at the driver’s discretion. This is especially useful for those planning to drive through an area where only electric vehicles or electric mode is permitted.

In any case, the mechanical sets of this plug-in hybrid Peugeot 3008 are paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox of the e-EAT8 type, specific to the electrified versions.

The charging time for these cars is 7 hours from a standard 8-amp, 220-volt socket, reduced to 4 hours with a reinforced socket such as the Green’up (14A, 220V), and just 1 hour and 45 minutes with a 6.6 kW charger.

The battery is guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its charge capacity.

Furthermore, thanks to the Charging Pass from Peugeot, the manufacturer opens up the possibility of connecting at up to 105,000 points across Europe to recharge the battery.

Charging can be managed through the MyPeugeot mobile app, which lets you check the state of the battery, the state of charge and consumption, plan routes taking into account nearby charging points, pre-condition the cabin remotely, and more.

An SUV that stands apart from the other versions

So much so that, in addition to carrying and displaying the badges of these electrified versions, a cyan LED has been fitted, visible from outside at the top of the windscreen, which lights up when the SUV drives in 100 percent electric mode, making it easy to tell apart from other vehicles.

This car is offered in the GT Line and GT trims, which add a touch more sportiness and appeal over the more modest versions. For example, the GT Line fits 18-inch two-tone Detroit Haria Mat diamond-cut alloy wheels, while the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 GT upgrades to 19-inch wheels.

Also, thanks to the 8-inch (20.32 cm) touchscreen fitted to the dashboard, it will be possible to access the battery charging settings. In both models, the interior features the distinctive Gréval Alcantara upholstery.
