Peugeot may not be the most well-liked and best-selling marque in the UAE, but it sure sells some of the most interesting cars on the market. The French automaker comes across as an interesting option in a world that’s usually dominated by the more practical Japanese and Korean brands. When there are so many compact crossover SUVs, one more is not really going to make a big dent, is it? Then again, we are talking about a region that’s obsessed with crossover/SUVs like few others.

In the case of the Peugeot 3008, it was first introduced back in 2008. Since then, we all know how these semi-luxurious crossovers took-off like there was no tomorrow. And being the most affordable crossover SUV model in the brand’s UAE range, the 3008 was seemingly in need of new variant. Therefore, we now have the all-new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid which, as you can figure out, is one of those ‘go-green’ vehicles that are meant to keep your “green” side pacified. Then again, we got to applaud carmakers like Peugeot when they come out with greener vehicles like the 3008 Plug-In Hybrid.

Word from the company about the new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid

Before we go ahead, we’ve Syed Shaheen Adeeb, General Manager at Omeir Bin Youssef and Sons – the primary distributor of Peugeot vehicles in the UAE. According to Syed Shaheen Adeeb, “Peugeot again delivers a vehicle that promises you safety, exquisite designing and cleaner environment. The 3008 HYBRID 4 has gained immediate recognition and praise in other regions and we are confident that it will continue its progressive journey here in UAE. In this context, we find that the country has succeeded in converting 20% of its fleet of cars belonging to government agencies to electric vehicles, and aims to achieve a much higher number on its streets by 2030. We are excited to be a part of this exciting journey towards a clean and green UAE.”

How the new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid makes its power?

Unlike the standard 3008, this one has been modified by Peugeot to be fuel-efficient, green vehicle meant to please eco-mentalists. While the standard 3008 is pretty fuel efficient, this plug-in hybrid variant just makes the case for a clean and green European crossover SUV. In this case, the powertrain consists of a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo-petrol that’s accompanied by a 13.2kWh battery pack that offers up to 64 km of maximum electric-only range.

Using an 8A standard outlet, it’ll take up to 7 hours to charge the 3008 Plug-In Hybrid. However, if you use a 14A fast charger, the same feat would only take 4 hours. The combined output of this Peugeot 3008 comes out to 300hp and 520Nm of maximum torque. Depending on the charging station available, the Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid can be charged to 100 percent in 3 hours, which isn’t too bad. Releasing just 29g of Co2per kilometer, this hybrid version of the Peugeot 3008 is a pretty green crossover SUV. Of course, it gets an all-wheel-drive system that can be dialed for wet, muddy, sandy or winding roads.

How fast is the new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid?

When push comes to shove, the Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid can scoot from 0 to 100 kmph in a smidge over 6 seconds. That is a pretty good time for an SUV that weighs north of 1,800 kg, while the terminal velocity stands at 240 kmph. At the same time, if you want to feel green, you’ll be happy to know that the Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid can hit 135 kmph on electric power alone.

The technology available on the new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid

The new Peugeot 3008 Plug-In Hybrid gets the French brand’s iCockpit system. This suite of modern technology brings with it items such as a head-up display, twin a 10-inch HD screens, smartphone connectivity, a dual-pane sunroof, driving modes like Electric, Hybrid, Sport, and 4WDi. Furthermore, the 3008 Plug-In Hybrid comes with a brake feature that allows the vehicle to decelerate without pushing down on the brake pedal.

The 3008 Plug-In Hybrid also gets tech such as Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go function, Lane position assist, Seat Massage Function, Night Vision, Active Parking with Assisted Steering System and front & rear cameras, sign recognition, blind-spot monitoring, Active Safety Brake, a hands-free tailgate, and Driver Warning Alert, amongst many more.
