Peugeot 3008

New crossover draws on mild-hybrid petrol engine as an alternative to the electric e-3008 With so much fanfare around the new Peugeot e-3008, you’d be forgiven for forgetting there’s a version that’s been made without any E-numbers.Indeed, given the standard Peugeot 3008 is £11,200 cheaper and almost 550kg lighter, you’d think Peugeot had been hyping up the wrong version. But as the new crossover has been designed first and foremost as an EV, this ‘standard’ version was always going to get second billing. It's a mild hybrid that's powered by Peugeot’s familiar three-cylinder 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor integrated within a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It will reach the UK in September, around six months after the launch of the new Peugeot e-3008, which even after this cheaper model arrives is expected to take the majority of sales.
