Hybrids cling to the ominous connotation of boring cars that are not suited to adventurers, hedonists and octane junkies. With the peugeot 3008 hybrid4, the creators turned this story upside down and offered us a product of the automotive industry that turns this basic belief upside down. The 3008 is anything but a boring car, as it will propel the eco family man to 100 km/h in barely 8.5 seconds. In doing so, he will be accompanied by 200 horsepower electric and diesel engines. Yes, you heard right! It is the first hybrid in the world powered by "gas oil".
And this is where this great story, the differences, just begins. Peugeot 3008 hybrid4 does not visually differ from its "ordinary" brother. It is a nice crossover, which, in accordance with its mission and image, has been thoroughly "polished" and richly equipped. Testni was the measure of a true French gentleman. The latter is the one who needs a vehicle with 1001 face.

One with which you can do your own thing takes the family away on vacation, his wife to an evening performance at the opera, and he impresses his business partner with his ecological awareness. In the moments when he finds himself behind the wheel, the car allows him to find that childish impudence in him again. And that with hybrid 4 wheel drive, which doesn't give him headaches in any way from minor off-road challenges. The car really surprises with the fact that it cannot be placed in any rigid category. It is what you expect from it and what you are looking for in it.

yes, peugeot 3008 hybrid4 it is in many ways special and without a doubt a vehicle that turns heads. This is not necessarily the form and appearance, as tastes are different. Up to speed 55 km/h this vehicle drives silently, because it often causes pedestrians a surprise, confusion and at the same time amazement. It's cute when you're driving past someone and you look in the rearview mirror. believe me the inaudibility of this vehicle in city driving will definitely be noticed.

But it is different Peugeot 3008 recently underwent a design renovation, where they managed to "lick out the wrinkles" and add some sweets such as LED rear lights and front optics with an LED accessory. With this, they breathed a nice dose of ripe freshness into it.

Driving sensations
We won't go into the boring details. Peugeot 3008 hybrid4 it is so very special that it can be described with some sugars. You don't start the car in the classic way, but silently. It will almost always run on electricity from a standstill, when the diesel engine comes to its aid, you will have almost 200 horsepower of hybrid power at your disposal. There are four driving modes, of which we should highlight 4WD the way that this crossover turns it into a real off-roader and an electric mode that allows you to continue driving with an electric motor, but only under certain conditions. For safety reasons, there is always a motor "backup" available, which joins the electric motor as soon as you need power or acceleration.

The car has a good position on the road, despite its height, there is no excessive tilting of the body. The only thing that seems somewhat annoying is the gearbox, which sometimes does not follow the lively character of this hybrid and is too slow. Basic factory acceleration data states 8.5 seconds to 100 km/h, which is feasible when you switch to the "sport" program, which instantly removes the "eco" note from the car and turns it into an urban savage. This one manages to get up to speed 191 km/h, which is a very decent figure for a 1.8 ton off-road vehicle. At the same time, the vehicle will almost never consume more than 7 liters of diesel fuel. In principle, this figure is not excessively lower than some competitors. But you won't get as much joy as this car offers and the degree of difference from the competition.

In the automotive world, it is Peugeot 3008 hybrid4 recorded in history one way or another. With its unusual combination of drive and appearance, we can justifiably give it the title of the most boring hybrid in the world!
