2020 Peugeot 3008 Hybrid review - best plug-in hybrid SUV? | What Car? 

Who is thinking of buying a plug-in hybrid SUV and what cars are you choosing between? And has anyone else been to Autódromo de Sitges-Terrarmar in Barcelona?

I have a 3008 diesel-electric Hybrid 4 (2014) it can also travel on electric alone for a short distance. 200bhp (combined) giving 50mpg. Love it

New Peugeot cars are pure art!

It is indeed an expensive car but hey, a full option 300Hp 4wheel drive SUV, with the full economy of a small city car.. what do you expect ! I do not get why car journalists keep saying it is too expensive for an hybrid and you are better off with a cheaper diesel version, as this is not just an hybrid, this is first a 4 wheel drive SUV. If you want to save money you buy a Dacia Sandero! It was the same with the 508 RXH, journalist in UK and France were comparing it with standard 2 wheel drive sedan/wagon that where 5000£ cheaper and saying you wont make the money back with the fuel economy. Only in Norway did I see a test of the 508RXH against the Passat Alltrack and for the same price the peugeot won the test because it could manage better in offroad condition and had better fuel economy. So let's compare the 3008 hybrid4 with 300Hp 4X4 SUV or wagon, and you will see that it is not more expensive, probably as good off road/on snow if not better ( the smooth torque of electric engine helps a lot) and the hybrid part comes as a good bonus on fuel economy and taxes.

Interesting choice of location. This was an abandoned oval track, very well known to locals. It's called the Autódromo de Sitges-terramar. Did you get a chance to drive over from Gava to Sitges? It's one of the best driving roads in Spain, with sharp crests, tight bends and smooth tarmac over the sea line.

To say that when the battery is depleted the engine runs it like a normal car is factually incorrect. It will run like a normal hybrid which this reviewer should know.

350kg weight extra? What's the normal fuel consumption vs the non-hybrid? How much to change the hybrid battery?

I’m sorry but until they make the price realistic and affordable for people like myself and a million of other people, this hybrid and electric thing is never ever gonna happen £36,000 pounds for Peugeot is just outrageous!

That price though. Who would pay that for a Peugeot?

Since when under 6 sec to 100 become not really fast? It plenty fast for me anyway.95% of the cars on the road are slower than that.

Good for me... well done Peugeot 0-100 5,8se

46k just buy a long range tesla. Price is crazy

Hybrid cars are not designed to stay & doomed to fail. After all why carry two power train every where , pay two maintenance, pay for two fuels, two headaches only to achieve one objective !!! And yet damage environment as there is no Tomorrow...Total madness. I guess taxi drivers & those travelling more than 300 miles a day could benefit from Hybrid cars.

frameless rear view mirror is a new add

The X5 isn’t a rival for this! Maybe the X3

Hmmm. I'm guessing this engine combo is going to be the basis for the 508r?

Can you please explain why this is better than DS7 hybrid.Thanks in advance.

Why you say that 3008 is much better than the ds7 e-tense???Can you give me some issues??Thanks.

Good reviews 👍

Also, the interior have come with lighter areas than the normal version (seats, doors and instrument panel)

Never been a fan of hybrids. In my opinion the disadvantes of both worlds outweigh the advantages. Either want ICE or pure electric.

Detailed info! Question for all PHEVs about the electric range. We just tested Volvo's XC40 Plug In in our video and didn't get as far as promised...

What mode was it in when the economy figures were taken?, decidedly average economy

The Tesla Model 3 AWD Long range costs exactly the same! I know which AWD electric car I would go for.

I like the idea of a hybrid car but for those of us who don't buy Saint Greta's doom prediction the difference in price and the efficiency of a diesel is too much.

you will love this in electric mode so at this price just get a proper electric car.... £46k you could have two mg zs evs.....

What a beautiful car I love it

I love it.

I wish they would give the real world mpg in non hybrid mode

29gm of c02? That is incredible.

£46k?????

SUV are not a sports car. They in intended for family use and for those that need more space to carry things around. It is absolutely silly to keep referring SUV's as sporting :) Also one has to understand that the industry still has a long way to go with Hybrids which is a few years time they will disappear and make way for full electrical cars.

Why do you say that the Peugeot 3008 is "far better" than the DS7? Can you explain better?

Does that make this the most powerful production Peugeot ever made?

You can have this'3008 for 44000 euros only with a low cost'car dealer . And you can use the electric engine with plug in

X5 is competitor for 3008? You're having a laugh aren't you 😂

What confuses me here is the following. okay so New 3008 and I would guess the 5008 will be Hybrids, but yet the new 208 and 2008 will be all electric? Why did they not offer hybrids in these. It doesn’t make sense and seems like a bit of a waste. I believe that he pure electrics will do ether than the hybrids as this seems to be the trend that is forming in the market place. But to countries that do not have such strict emissions standard i would fare that the diesels will sell better as they have better economy and more power band over all! I have always loved my Diesel Peugeot’s but and not fully convinced of the reasons to change to all electric yet. Not just that there is a very poor infrastructure of electric charging points here in Australia unlike other countries. So still better to stick with the combustion types for now!

lul just get Toyota if you thinking of hybrid. They've been developing them for 30 years almost, while peugeot maybe 2 -3

46,000 for a Peugeot 😂😂😂😂😂

Why wouldn’t the engine recharge the batteries when it’s in petrol mode? Surely that would be more convenient than having to plug in.

Outlander PHEV rules !

How much???? you have got to be joking! £46,000 .I really like the 3008 but 46k...really!

I wnat this now

“Gear change is slow”. “0-62 in 5.9 seconds” Pick 1 not both.

It's a nice car, but so expensive

3008 "far better" than a Ds7?! Are you sure?

Doomed for UK company car market already due to its 1.6 engine. Lots of UK companies reimburse their driver with plug-ins for business mileage using official AFR rates to spare its drivers of any tax liability. Below 2.0L you only get 14p which means maintaining an average of 40mpg or you are personally out of pocket! The 3008 official MPG is only 39mpg and you never match that so this car is certain to end up with you paying yourself to do your own job! = Dead duck. The competition this year, Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, New Kuga PHEV and RAV4 PHEV are all over 2.0L so the driver will get 21p per mile which means they only the need to average 26mpg (so many will actually make a tidy profit from their reimbursements) and all these cars will be cheaper to buy too.

Buy a Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV instead and you don't have to deal with french reliability ...

So, in 3 yrs when this car goes from company driver to retail sector, which crayon wielding private buyer is going to write a cheque for over £20k for a used Peugeot whose drivetrain in 3yrs will be considered a massive dud, and will probably be in need of mechanical attention. Value in 3 yrs, less than a standard one?????? Or am I missing something

Why is 3008 better than DS7? You can't get that high-quality level of interior (opera) in the Peugeot. DS7 also has more spacious second row.

Super!

No point to plug in hybrid cars. Depreciation will outweigh the fuel savings. Plus all the hassle. Sorry. Maybe in 10 years when cars improve.

Ds7 is far over 3008, starting from comfort and seat size.. Your afirmation that 3008 is better is just Fake.

DO YOU KNOW when the new model like the 3008 will be released, not the hybrid maybe 4008 !!!!!!!!!!!

Hello ! I like peugeot 3008 i in viet nam thank you!

Really who pays 47 k to a peugeot? Buy petrol and a lot cheaper;))

I considered the new Ford Kuga plug in hybrid but was not too impressed with the seating. Moreover, the old Focus was more solid than the new Focus which feels very fragile (doors etc), they must have done that to lower the weight of the car but it feels very cheap. I also looked at the Outlander plug in hybrid but in the end the best solution to mpg appears to always be a french diesel engine. I chose the 3008 Peugeot SUV 2020 diesel version GT line yesterday, we shall see how it goes. I wish the government was not holding a gun to our heads to get us to buy electric cars. Charging the cars is such a pain and the emissions from cars are no problem to the environment, perhaps in crowded cities but there nobody will take ownership of an electric car because they wont be able to charge them at home! I think all of this unnecessary push of European governments to electric and the enormous tax levy on diesel and petrol has made our new cars very ugly and dark (small rear windows etc) and too compact - low head room etc, for the sake of higher mpg. The only few good things that have emerged out of all of this intervention are one or two internal hybrid cars such as the Prius or perhaps the Honda CR-V hybrid, excellent, but unfortunately both are rather ugly or nondescript. They need some Italian designers to make them more attractive. Perhaps marketing told them that those in search of electric cars are rather boring vegan people. Why are plug in hybrids petrol and not diesel? is it because people think that nobody will buy a diesel plug in? But we are being forced electric by the fuel levy not by choice. A diesel hybrid is better for it would help the mpg on long journeys. We are in a bit of a mess when it comes to cars in 2020.

A car for mud and snow, 2WD hybrid is enough !

This car makes no financial sense 🤦‍♂️ . £500 a month and than after 48 months you get nothing after paying a mortgage

The Peugeot Hybrid4’s acceleration score gets a 4/10.

£47k for a Peugeot Hahahaha *stops watching*

Why are Peugeot always screwing it up with the over pricing? Who would take this over a Model Y Tesla? No one.

Too expensive.. go get a used hybrid.

i stopped at slow 8 speed gearbox ...

них*я не понятно

For 30k maybe, but 46k is nonsense.

Turn the .... music off and be professional. The music and naration are both amplified, tell me which should I listen to ? When I get on a plane, I'm going to ask the Captain, when in an emergency they will play annoying elevator music to drown out MAYDAY MAYDAY WE ARE GOING TO LAND SHORT to the music of the Magic roundabout. I bet when you buy a 3008SUV, this music greets you every time you open the door, even the hatch, the sun roof. This music is fitted to all 3008 models, What the...Car forgot to tell you. I've just heard through the din of this music, it's not just Peugeot's. Why don't you narrate in Sign Language ? deaf people can drive but not all disabled people can purchase an insurance policy and there is no law requiring you need to have a driving licence, this is a breach of the Equality Act 2010 chapter1. Thank you to Peugeot for a class leading car regardless of What Car, but I cannot get insurance. Not all Disabled folk should be allowed to own vehicles in the UK, look at the insurance comparison websites' there's no provision for retired/disabled above the age of 18. A Brass Band next time please, playing beside the car and I want to see the narrator's red in the face, having to yell over music for which it is intended, for the pleasure that What ..Car fails to understand. Do you know, it's gone in one ear and out the other, except for the music. To some up [please do], a professional organisation being reviewed by an armature organisation, who have been revived by a blind man

Utter BS

French cars and electrics no no no no!!!!!!!

Just buy a toyota if you are looking for a hybrid.

- - NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. . .

0 0 NOT, NOT, NOT ... Peuge-NOT. 0 0

Rather have Opel/Vauxhall Grandland X hybri instead this French nonsense!
