PEUGEOT PREMIERES STATE-OF-THE-ART PLUG-IN HYBRID POWERTRAIN ON NEXT-GENERATION 3008 AND ANNOUNCES OPEN-FOR-ORDERS

13th September 2024​

PEUGEOT has expanded the powertrain offering on the new 3008 with the introduction of a state-of-the-art plug-in hybrid powertrain, offering an electric-only range of up to 52 miles (WLTP).

The new Plug-In Hybrid 195 e-DSC7 powertrain, from parent company Stellantis, premieres on the new 3008 and 5008 and features a larger 21kWh battery that delivers up to 52 miles of electric range (WLTP). This is combined with an updated version of the 1.6-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged PureTech petrol engine and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission incorporating a 92kW electric motor, resulting in a combined 195hp and 350Nm of torque. It produces low C02 emissions of 19-20g/km, while the competitive 52-mile electric range results in a lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) rate of 8%, so from as little as £54.13† a month.

The new 3008 Plug-in Hybrid comes with a choice of three drive modes, Hybrid, Electric and Sport. The default mode is Hybrid, automatically managing the alternating or simultaneous operation of the petrol engine and electric motor. To optimise fuel consumption, this mode will prioritise all-electric driving as often as possible. The Electric mode allows driving using only electric power with speeds up to 83mph, while in Sport the electric power is used to supplement the petrol engine to deliver maximum performance for more dynamic driving.

When equipped with the optional 7.4kW on-board charger, charging the plug-in hybrid 3008 takes just 2 hours 45 minutes (0-100%) from an AC fast charger. Thanks to the STLA Medium platform, the boot volume of the new 3008 Plug-In Hybrid is also 30% larger (+130 litres) compared to the previous version.

The new 3008 Plug-in Hybrid will be available in ALLURE trim from £40,650 (OTR MRRP) and in GT trim from £44,450, with the first customer deliveries anticipated for early 2025.
