The drive structure, which is now once more economical consumption of 3.8 litres / 100 km (99 g CO2/km), remains unchanged demanding. Because while front he its power through a six-speed automated manual transmission passes known two-litre diesel with 163 HP on the front wheels, strong electric motor from Bosch propels the rear wheels a (37 kW up to 27).

The for this necessary energy draws the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 99 g from a nickel-metal hydride battery of Sanyo, which has an energy content of 1.1 kilowatt hours. Arise from this constellation 200 HP system performance, as well as an all-wheel drive without mechanical connection between front and rear axles. The driver of the Peugeot notes from expenses 3008 Hybrid4 rich little. He must only decide on which of the four driving modes (auto, sport, ZEV or 4WD), he is the small dial behind the chuzzles, newly designed automatic selector.

This, passengers must now already very carefully listen and feel, to register the locking of cultured current Selbstzünders. Also with the often criticized jerky cycles of sequential gearing, it is now over. A gear change is imminent, the electric motor in the rear with a power surge bridges the tractive effort interruption in the Scotsmans. Who wants to feel the gearbox can be how mis-match, must go only in sports. Then the electronics propels both Motors of Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 although to peak performance (100 km/h are reached in only 8.5 seconds), clearly ruppiger in POPs but also the course. In electric mode (ZEV) it goes to softer contrast. Up to 70 km/h and a distance of realistic four kilometres the 1.8-tonne Peugeot can be actually electrically moved 3008 Hybrid4. Diesel jumps to only a stronger acceleration is required or the charging battery below a minimum level is reduced.

Well, no hurry, just wants to have thing.
