The PHEV offers drivers 165kW of power resulting from a 133kW PureTech engine combined with an 81kW electric motor. Torque is measured at 360Nm.

There is enough electric only range for many daily drives at 55km (WLTP) with an 11.8kWh battery capacity. We got 42-45 km in real life. It’s like the ADR fuel figures for petrol cars, no one gets near the official figures.

In electric mode the driving style is like all electric cars with engine and regenerative braking

Peugeot’s e-SAVE function allows the driver to save or regenerate all or part of the battery to be used at their discretion throughout the journey.

Like the petrol 508 GT the PHEV comes well equipped with both comfort, safety and luxury features. It also happens to come wrapped in one of the most stylish designs on the market today.

Charging at home is convenient but does take some time, fast charger are the go.

Like all PHEV vehicles my biggest gripe is the price premium. The 508 GT PHEV is priced from $81,610 plus the usual costs and that’s a premium of some $16,000. That buys a lot of petrol

Chloe Fraser: We’re thrilled to announce that we will be bringing the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport plug in hybrid all wheel drive and also the Peugeot 508 GTI Fastback and plug in hybrid to the Australian market in Q1 next year.

So for the 3008 plug in hybrid, you can travel up to 60 kilometres of electric driving range and actually find a way to top two fifty five kilometres of electric driving range, depending upon your driving style and environmental conditions, of course.

The 3008 hybrid, medium sized SUV is priced at $79,990 plus on road costs with an All-Wheel Drive variant and 222kW of power from the petrol engine and two electric motors: one at the front and one at the rear.

It will have a new 8-speed automatic transmission.

Ahead of their official launch in Q1, 2022, Peugeot Australia is pleased to offer an exclusive test drive program in select dealerships.

Kate Gillis, General Manager Peugeot Australia, said: “Globally, we know that Peugeot has made a commitment to have an electrified variant across the entire model line-up by 2025 and it is with great anticipation and excitement that we take our first steps in the Australian market with the introduction of the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid AWD and Peugeot 508 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid.

“The introduction of our plug-in hybrid electric vehicles allows Peugeot to enter a new segment for the brand and reach a new audience of Australian consumers.

“Peugeot’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicles offer our customers versatility, allowing them to experience 100% electric driving whilst maintaining the choice to utilise the traditional combustion engine for longer journeys.”
