PEUGEOT be on the verge of replacing its extremely popular 3008 next year, but that hasn't stopped the brand fitting a mild-hybrid powertrain under the SUV's bonnet for a final flourish. The 48V MHEV system is brand new, and will also be rolled out on the larger 5008 and updated 2008 models.
On the 3008, the powertrain will in effect replace the existing 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine, producing 3bhp extra, at 134bhp in this now entry-level option. What the numbers don't tell you, though, is how much of a positive effect the electrification has made on an engine that could still cut it anyway. Although the 21bhp electric motor might not add much obvious grunt, its presence is felt right from the off, helping fill the gap before the turbo gets going.
Despite several improvements in how it works with the eight-speed automatic gearbox, this unit has been a gruff little workhorse. However, now that it's paired with the new MHEV system, refinement is noticeably improved, with superior noise insulation and less vibration.
