PLUG-IN HYBRID RANGE
A new range of Plug-in Hybrid petrol engines will be on show at Geneva and will be an integral part of PEUGEOT’s transition towards electrification. Announced in 2018, the new range will include the PEUGEOT 3008 SUV HYBRID4, all-new PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID and all-new PEUGEOT 508 SW HYBRID.
The high voltage Lithium-ion (300V) battery, which powers PEUGEOT’s HYBRID and HYBRID4 engines has a capacity between 11.8kWh and 13.2kWh, allowing the cars to drive up to 30 miles on a single electric charge.
All-new PEUGEOT 508 HYBRID and all-new 508 SW HYBRID models combine the PureTech 180hp/132kW engine with a 110hp/80kW electric motor for a combined maximum power of 225hp/165kW producing less than 49g/km CO2.
The all-new HYBRID4 system will be fitted in the PEUGEOT 3008 SUV. The powerful engine provides four-wheel drive with an 110hp/80kW inverter and reaches the equivalent of 300hp/220kW. This is helped by a combination of a PureTech engine reaching 200hp/147kW and two electric motors (one at the front and the second at the rear) each reaching 110hp/80kW to achieve 0 to 62mph in 6.5s. The battery capacity is 13.2kWh for a zero emission range of 30 miles under WLTP testing.

Created by the PEUGEOT Design Lab to mark the 160th anniversary of the PEUGEOT emblem in 2018, the green and blue gleam of the new design will be a central styling cue for upcoming models in PEUGEOT’s electric transition.
David Peel, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK said: “The 2019 Geneva Motor Show is set to be the biggest one yet for PEUGEOT. With a full electric range set to arrive by 2023, this is our first chance to show off the progress we have made towards electrification so far, and give a glimpse of what motorists can expect in the future.
“We have released some great work on our road towards an electric future through the PEUGEOT e-LEGEND CONCEPT. With the all-new PEUGEOT e-208 we are showing the world how we can adapt our current range for everyday use in an EV future, and how as a brand we are moving with the times and evolving in sync with the wider motoring industry.”
Tying in with PEUGEOT’s #UnboringTheFuture ambitions, PEUGEOT’s electrified appearance at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show will fall under the new ‘MOTION & e-MOTION’ signature representing the brand’s mission to focus on electrifying its full range over the next five years.
