PEUGEOT has announced the launch of its new Plug-in Hybrid petrol engine range. The new engines are available for the 3008 SUV, and all-new 508 and 508 SW.

The new hybrid engines allow 100% electric mode, 4-wheel drive mode with the HYBRID4, Sport mode, Comfort mode or Hybrid mode.

The high voltage Lithium-ion (300V) battery has a capacity between 11.8 KWh and 13.2KWh, allowing the cars to drive up to 30 miles on a single electric charge.

The vehicle can be recharged in less than 2 hours by using a Wallbox (6.6 kW 32A). Guide lamps surround the charging socket so battery charge can quickly be checked.

The all-new Peugeot 508 and 508 SW Hybrids bring together the PureTech 180hp/132kW engine with a 110hp/80kW electric motor for a combined maximum power of 225hp/165kW in traction and optimise fuel efficiency, with less than 49g of CO2 per kilometre.

The 3008 SUV is being equipped with the powerful HYBRID4 system providing 4-wheel drive with multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 110hp/80kW inverter and reaches the equivalent of 300hp/220kW.

This is the result of the combination of a PureTech engine reaching 200hp/147kW and two electric motors (one at the front and the second at the rear) each reaching 110hp/80kW. The battery capacity is 13.2kWh for a 100% electric range of 30 miles WLTP.

The PureTech engine is combined with the new e-EAT8 8-speed automatic transmission (Electric Efficient Automatic Transmission – 8 speeds), specific to Peugeot Plug-in Hybrid engines.

The Hybrid and Hybrid4 engines will be integrated into the 3008 SUV and all-new PEUGEOT 508 and 508 SW model ranges in autumn 2019.
