It comes with a 2.0 liter HDi FAP diesel that boosts out a combination of 200 horses and 500Nm of torque. This is decomposed to the 163 horses coming through its diesel engine that is responsible for the front wheels while the electric motor that powers up the back wheels gets you 37 horses. The power from the electric motor comes through the trunk fitted nickel metal hydride batteries. Paired with a 6 speed manual transmission gearbox, it also comes with a various technologies like the kinetic energy recovery system, a stop-start system as well as an ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that handles the integrates the operation between the diesel engine and the electric motor.
Being a hybrid car, naturally the fuel economy would be pretty impressive where it goes on 3.8 liter per 100km with a 99g/km of CO2 emissions. It is very important that you are aware of what is going on when driving this car, particularly in the status of the hybrid powertrain so they have included a 7 inch LCD screen here to keep you informed at all times. Apart from that you also get 4 driving modes. In ‘Auto’ mode, you will get the standard driving experience where it switches between the diesel and the electric motor depending on the needs of the drive. The ‘4WD’ mode uses both the motors especially for climbing of hills and such. ‘ZEV’ or Zero Emission Vehicle is when you drive purely on electric while if you want to maximize the car’s horsepower, then the ‘Sport’ mode can be used.
If you have seen the 3008 before then you would surely notice the nice looking design of this SUV-crossover and they have not made much changes to it except that they have put in their new logo with this one as well as the Hybrid4 emblem nicely embodied onto the car.
