GOOD RANGE, BUT IT’S EXPENSIVE! PEUGEOT 3008 PLUG-IN HYBRID 2022 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid presents a compelling, albeit expensive, package. Its standout feature is the potent 222kW all-wheel-drive powertrain, delivering surprisingly rapid acceleration (0-100km/h in 5.9 seconds) that rivals performance-oriented German marques. The reviewer praises its sophisticated design, plush ride quality, and engaging handling, noting it feels like a "holistic package" that is a joy to drive daily. However, the significant $79,990 price tag is a major hurdle, placing it considerably above mainstream hybrids like the RAV4. Interior quality is generally good with premium materials, but inconsistencies like manual passenger seat adjustment detract from the luxury feel. The infotainment's navigation is described as pixelated, though Apple CarPlay/Android Auto mitigate this. Real-world electric range is around 50km, but charging is slow (5.5 hours for a full charge via 3.7kW AC), making it less practical for those without home charging. Fuel consumption on longer trips approaches that of a regular hybrid. While offering a unique blend of performance, comfort, and zero-emission capability, the high cost and slow charging make it a niche proposition, potentially overshadowed by full EVs or more affordable hybrids.
