CAR GARAGE | Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 (2012) | The Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 is designed to appeal to demanding, technophiles customers who are in search of a rewarding and original vehicle. In terms of performance, the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 benefits from the combined power of the HDi diesel engine and electric motor during acceleration and when an immediate surge of power is required (the "boost" function). The combined maximum power output is 200 bhp, 163 bhp from 2.0 liter HDi FAP the diesel engine and 37 bhp from the electric motor. A maximum torque of 500 Nm is available, split with 300nm at the front from the HDi diesel engine and 200 Nm at the rear generated by the electric motor.

The inverter controls the torque of the electric motor by regulating the electrical current supplied from the high-voltage battery pack. The converter reduces the 200 volts from the high-voltage battery pack into 12 volts to supply the vehicle's on board systems.
The ESP system fitted to the Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4 incorporates an "improved traction control system" (ASR) Able to exploit the car's four-wheel drive capabilities to the full on challenging surfaces.
