Plug-in hybrid in development 3008

A hotter version of the new 3008 it has long been on Peugeot's table but only recently have the French decided to proceed with its implementation.

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

There are some misgivings on the French side about how to approach a new one, hotter, edition. Some talk about simply putting a GTI logo and others, like Laurent Blanchet, Peugeot Product Manager, for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with the extra addition of the letters GT.
A hybrid is a sports car, but the GTI logo is more suited to small hatchback cars. Right now one 3008 GTI is something that should not be done. Ant’ of this we could use the GT logo. The PHEV we are preparing will be available with a gasoline engine 1.6 THP that in combination with the electric motor will deliver 300 about horsepower. It will also have four-wheel drive while covering the 100 kilometers from a standstill in less than six seconds'.
Blanchet did not shy away from pointing out that this version is about two years away from today: The 3008 with this technology it will be ready 2019 and then we will develop a PHEV for our entire range'.

The new Peugeot four-wheel drive vehicle

The French company has officially presented its new four-wheel drive leisure vehicle with the code 4008, which certainly has its own special identity.




Style and refinement
The French model looks particularly elegant and sufficiently dynamic incorporating many elements, from Peugeot's new design identity. That's how he manages to gain attention. In terms of dimensions, the length of the new Peugeot 4008 reaches the 4,34 meters, the width the 1.768 μ. and its height 1,625 μ. In order not to overlap the two-wheeled crossover 3008, the 4008 it will be available in Europe only with four-wheel drive. The image in the spacious, practical and quality interior is pleasant, with the large screen on the center console and the smaller one on the instrument panel commanding attention. The new Peugeot 4008 it will be available on the market in the summer, but it is still unknown if it will be introduced in our country and everything will depend on the selling price that the dealership will secure.

With a glance
Elegant design
Only four-wheel drive and diesel versions in Europe
Firmer to drive than the ASX
Still unknown if it will be introduced

On the road: With a French taste
Driving it 4008 1,8 HDi we found the robustness of this excellent diesel throughout the rev range, as well as the fuel economy it offers. But what won us over was the overall driving image of the car thanks to the intervention of Peugeot technicians in steering and suspensions. So the steering system appears more precise and full of feel, while the tighter suspensions have noticeably reduced lean and unnecessary body movements. Comfort has not been affected and so the 4008 displays high ride quality combined with low noise levels. The automatic four-wheel drive with an electromagnetic clutch works flawlessly and on a small 4X4 track we found that the 4008 it is capable of many more things than it will ask for 99% of buyers!

Engines: Diesel only
In the European market, Peugeot's leisure vehicle will only be available with four-wheel drive and diesel engines (1,6 HDi and 1,8 HDi). The first one works 115 horses with 270 Nm of torque (280 with overboost) at 1.750-2.500 s.a.l., while the second (της Mitsubishi) it has variable timing and it delivers 150 horses with 300 Nm of torque in 2.000-3.000 rpm. Both engines are mated to a gearbox 6 relationships and thanks to the standard Stop system & Start achieve low consumption (4,9 lt./100 km. The 1,6 and 5,6 lt./100 km. The 1,8).
