During the presentation of its range of electric cars, Peugeot showed a new power train. Although plug-in hybrids are already available, the range will be expanded to include light hybrids. The solution will first be included in the new Peugeot 3008 and 5008.
The powertrain is based on a new 136hp 3-cylinder engine that will replace the 130hp 1.2 liter engine with a timing belt oil bath. The engine caused many problems with reliability and was part of Stellantis’ extensive service campaign, so the company decided to make changes to improve its durability. The improved petrol output will be combined with a new dual-speed gearbox and a 48V battery. The first models to be driven in this way are the Peugeot 3008 and5008 The large SUV is the last lion’s car that is not yet available in an electric version.
