Peugeot has announced details and pricing on a new 3008 SUV line-up due early
next year. The mid-sized Peugeot 3008 will arrive with a new mild hybrid
powertrain, replacing the current petrol and plug-in hybrid models. Initially
arriving in Allure Hybrid and GT Premium grades with a mid-range GT Hybrid
variant later. Entry pricing will jump by $2,915, now starting at $52,990 plus on-
road costs with the GT Premium rising by $1,600 to $64,990. Thankfully, the
current overly expensive 3008 plug-in hybrid model will be dropped in favour of
the new generation hybrid powertrain – a 1.2-litre turbo three-cylinder mild hybrid
engine with claimed fuel usage of just 4.9L/100km on the combined city/country
cycle. It drives the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission
which houses a 48V electric motor. Power and torque is reduced however over
the current plug-in hybrid 3008. I’m David Berthon
