It's the obvious fuel efficient and low emissions solution - a diesel-powered hybrid. First to put one into production were Peugeot with this car, the 3008 HYbrid4, introduced back in 2011. A small but significant band of eco-conscious buyers on the used market could have reason to convince themselves that it commands a price worth paying, not only because it'll return almost 75mpg with sub-100g/km emissions, but also because it can do just that while at the same time offering 200bhp performance, 4WD, Crossover style and family practicality. In many ways, this was a trail-blazing car. But does it make sense as a used buy?
History
'A new chapter in automotive history' That's how Peugeot introduced this 3008 HYbrid4 model to us back in 2011. It certainly looks conventional enough. But the technology behind it isn't. This 3008 is a hybrid - but not as perhaps you know it. Until the launch of this car, the word 'hybrid' was shorthand for 'petrol/electric motion'. But this is a diesel. Hybrids were two-wheel drive: this has four driven wheels. Hybrids were feebly powered: this has 200bhp on tap. It's unconventional then - in every sense of the word.
This, the world's first diesel/electric hybrid, was the very first car of its kind designed to make proper sense to us Europeans. Early Prius-style Toyota, Lexus and Honda hybrids all featured petrol power because they were primarily aimed at Oriental and American markets generally opposed to diesel engines. But PSA Group brand Peugeot started from a clean sheet with this technology. A diesel is 30% more economical than its petrol equivalent. Why wouldn't you use it as the basis for a battery-assisted, economy-minded vehicle?
Development cost perhaps? Peugeot solved that by basically leaving the front of the car completely alone, instead integrating the hybrid system's 36bhp electric motor with the rear axle, creating a bolt-on package they subsequently also used on other products, not all of them diesel-driven. This has the fortuitous side effect of creating the four-wheel drive layout that the MK1 model 3008's chunky Crossover looks promised but never delivered with a conventional engine beneath the bonnet. With this HYbrid4 model, both axles are able to drive you forward in slippery conditions. It all then, sounds very good on paper. But good enough to justify the inevitable price premium this technology carries? That's the question.
When the MK1 model 3008 range was facelifted in 2013, a facelifted HYbrid4 variant followed shortly after. By this time, the engineers had been able to tweak things to achieve slightly lower emissions, the previous 99g and 104g figures improved to 88g and 99g, depending on variant. The second generation 3008 range was launched in late 2016 without a direct HYbrid4 model replacement derivative.

I paid £2,000 for mine nearly 18 months ago. It has now done 196,000 miles and I have been driving manual cars and vans for 40 years, but I don't think I will ever part with this car. At least as long as it is tax exempt.

[@stephanrands1884]

Great review, this self charging Hybrid seems far more practical then the newer Gen2 PlugIn Hybrid, in the future it is my 1st choice. But.. in the far future the 3008 PHEV has certainly made my short list, 300bhp that's alot of fun! Albeit for a little inconvenience of regular home charging, the day before, due to the small battery hence small range,.. & 3KW charge limitation.. . And obviously trailing a lead around the car & begrudgingly taking off & bundling into storage pre work or wind up on tethered CHRG box.. Well a bit of a chore...

13:23 i know it might sound funny but i would just put stickers on drivers side of gear knob and problem solved, but i get your point about peugeot installing them letters on wrong side.

Too bad it have semiautomatic gearbox, its a nightmare

no thanks, staying with my Toyota Hybrid,

I have this car. Love it. Very comfortable. Very elastic propulsion and power when You need it. Gear box MCP is very slow, so its not sport car.

[@Ijumpandfly]

​@@arkadiuszkapuscinski6345im thinking about one, i really like pan roof in those 3008, it might not be most exciting looking car but what i care about most is fuel economy due to doing loads of miles around uk, or should i stick with diesel non hybrid as for years? What would you say mate?

[@giovannigiorgio1536]

@@arkadiuszkapuscinski6345 Hi. Is the hybrid battery still healthy in your 3008? How is the car in terms of reliability? Thanks in advance.

[@arkadiuszkapuscinski6345]

@@giovannigiorgio1536 Battery is working without problems. I didnt check its capacity lately but I have 5.8L/100km in mixed mode daily. 0 emission mode is working very often. Specially in jams or constant flow. And 200hp is very funny.

@@arkadiuszkapuscinski6345 Wow, thank you very much. I am closer to the decision of buying one.
