Peugeot 3008
Encyclopedia
The Peugeot 3008 is a 5-seater compact crossover unveiled by French automaker Peugeot
in May 2009 and presented for the first time to the public in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Some people thought there was a 7 seat version of the 3008 was the 5008 but in fact the 5008 is based upon the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso.
In January 2010, the British motoring magazine What Car?
awarded it Car of the Year
2010. It also was awarded 2010 Semperit Irish Car of the Year
in Ireland.
HDi is more economical than previous diesel engines and facilitates more complete combustion. Thanks to the Common Rail system’s injection at very high pressure (up to 1,800 bar), the constant and well distributed, very fine atomisation of the diesel fuel facilitates a more even and complete combustion, thereby providing better performance.
Consumption comparison of an HDi engine and a classic diesel engine:
206 1.6 litre HDi 70 hp, manual 5-speed gearbox: mixed consumption: 4.3l / 113g
206 1.9 litre D 70 hp (previous generation), manual 5-speed gearbox: mixed consumption: 5.5l / 144g
Variation: 1.2l at 100km, which is a stand-alone difference of over 200 km for a 50-litre tank.
The HDi engine gives the driver remarkable performance.
As against previous generation engines, the HDi has excellent thermodynamic yield and much better performance. It delivers better acceleration from low speeds thanks to very high engine torque, and is available in a wide range of uses. This also ensures greater safety when overtaking, providing a more supple drive for unequalled driving pleasure.
diesel-electric hybrid
. The 3008 Hybrid4 will be unveiled in the 2010 Paris Motor Show
. According to Peugeot
the new hybrid delivers a fuel economy
of up to 62 miles per US gallon (26.4 km/L) and CO2 emissions of 99g/km on the European test cycle.
The crossover hybrid has four different operating modes: Auto (the electronics automatically control the entire system), ZEV (all-electric), four-wheel drive
mode (4WD) and sport (higher engine speeds than normal mode). A nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack is located in the rear.

HDi FAP
Introduced on the 607 in 2000 in a world debut, the particles filter is a system that has become a worldwide standard. It has been gradually applied to most Peugeot HDi diesel engines. The HDi FAP engine provides the driver with many advantages. The HDi engine reduces fuel consumption.HDi is more economical than previous diesel engines and facilitates more complete combustion. Thanks to the Common Rail system’s injection at very high pressure (up to 1,800 bar), the constant and well distributed, very fine atomisation of the diesel fuel facilitates a more even and complete combustion, thereby providing better performance.
