NEW PEUGEOT 3008 HYBRID PHEV REVIEW AND ROAD TEST

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid PHEV is presented as a compelling option for families seeking a transition to electrified driving without committing to a full EV. The reviewer highlights its striking exterior design, drawing cues from the 508, and praises the decluttered front end and distinctive 'lion's tooth' daytime running lights. Inside, the i-Cockpit system and driver-focused layout are commended for their functionality and premium feel, despite some hard plastics. The practicality is noted, with ample space for passengers and luggage, including a substantial boot. On the road, the hybrid powertrain delivers a smooth and responsive experience, particularly in Sport mode, though the combined power output is intelligently managed rather than fully utilized. The reviewer achieved a real-world 155 mpg, significantly lower than the claimed 250 mpg but still impressive. Key drawbacks include the vehicle's weight, which impacts handling on corners, and the absence of rapid charging. Overall, the 3008 Hybrid is seen as a comfortable, economical, and stylish SUV offering a good balance of electric and petrol power, albeit at a premium price point typical for hybrid technology.
