Peugeot started taking orders for customers interested in the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 – the world’s first full diesel hybrid car. First deliveries of the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 are to be of an exclusive Limited Edition model of which only 300 are being made to celebrate the world’s first full Hybrid diesel car. Just 35 will be available in the UK.
The HYbrid4 combines the fuel efficient 2.0 litre HDi 163 bhp diesel engine and a 37 bhp electric motor - an ideal combination for a hybrid vehicle as it provides excellent out of town fuel consumption of 74.4 mpg, and CO2 emissions of 99g/km on the Combined Drive Cycle.
The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 uniquely combines low CO2 emissions, high levels of driving enjoyment, reduced running costs, a maximum power output of 200 bhp, all-wheel drive, zero emission vehicle mode (ZEV), and emissions in the Combined Drive Cycle, model dependent, from 99 g/km.
September 2012
The Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4, the first full hybrid diesel-electric crossover in the world, is now available with even lower CO2 emissions, reduced to just 91g/km.
New management software for the engines, including a number of improvements, has been developed. These changes, which optimise the phases of energy recovery and the management of the batteries, allowed new savings to be made in CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. These benefits are most marked in an urban driving environment.
The 3008 HYbrid4 is now type-approved on the combined cycle at 91g/km and the potential for 80.7mpg for the version fitted with very low rolling resistance Energy Saving 16-inch tyres. The models fitted with other tyre sizes (16-inch Mud & Snow, 17-inch or 18-inch) also see their CO2 emissions reduced to 99g/km.
