The world’s first diesel hybrid crossover.Combining environmental protection and driving enjoyment. By launching the world’s first full diesel Hybrid vehicle, the 3008 HYbrid4, Peugeot will create a new type of vehicle in terms of freedom of use and driving enjoyment. The customer benefits are immediate with a high level specification and a reduction of 35% in fuel consumption, a real breakthrough for a car of this size and performance.

This car is available starting in 2011!

The name HYbrid4 designates the hybridization of a diesel engine (2.0 litre HDi FAP 120 kW / 163 bhp) with an electric motor offering a maximum power output of 27 kW (37 bhp). Since diesel engines consume less fuel than petrol engines, they are the ideal choice for this type of hybridization.

Thanks to Peugeot’s expertise and use of new technology, the 3008 offers road holding qualities worthy of the best saloon cars, no mean feat for a ‘‘spacious and tall’’ vehicle. Every effort has been made to ensure class leading levels of road holding on all versions of the 3008, without in any way sacrifi cing passenger comfort. Indeed the 3008 will become the new benchmark in the world of spacious, compact vehicles in terms of driving pleasure and active safety. It achieves this through its excellent body rigidity, large wheels and suspension comprising of a McPherson type front suspension and a rear suspension consisting of a rear torsion beam. Combined with two of the most effi cient engines (the 1.6 litre THP and the new 2.0 litre HDi FAP), the Dynamic Roll Control system, fi tted to the rear suspension, sets new standards in terms of body roll control while still retaining optimal damping characteristics. Another innovation is the Grip Control system. Consisting of an advanced traction control system and special Mud & Snow tyres, it optimises the traction of both front wheels of the 3008 for real off-road driving. The driver controls the system by means of a knob with five settings:

1. Standard
2. Snow
3. Off Road (Mud/Dirt/Wet Grass)
4. Sand
5. ESP off

With the 3008 HYbrid4 crossover, the environmentally-friendly combination of diesel and electric power also paves the way for: 

• 4 wheel drive
• a maximum power of 200 bhp
• ZEV mode (Zero Emission Vehicle)
• 3.8 litres/100 km, with 99 g/km of CO2.

Contrary to current beliefs, the use of hybrid technology also offers improved driving freedom and  introduces new benefits at several levels:
- high performance combined with excellent driveability,
- freedom and simplicity of use with the possibility of choosing four different operating modes: ZEV, 4WD, Sport, Auto,
- silent operation, with the possibility of driving in electric only mode,
- peace of mind offered by the safety inherent in four wheel drive,
- environmental friendliness with emissions starting from 99 g/km of CO2.
