What is a Hybrid Car?

Hybrid cars (HEV) are often referred as self-charging hybrid cars. They combine an internal combustion engine with an electric motor and battery to power the car. A Hybrid electric vehicle can't be plugged in to charge. Instead, the battery charges in decelerating, stopping or coasting phases.

How do Hybrid cars work?

It's simple really. Along with a petrol or diesel engine, hybrid cars (HEV) have an electric motor powered by a small but effective battery. The electric motor in a hybrid electric vehicle assists the engine for improved fuel efficiency.

What's it like to drive a Hybrid car?

A hybrid drives like a traditional combustion engine car but with a few bonuses. It’s a lot quieter for a start and you systematically benefit from the convenience of clutch-less drive with either an automatic or dual-clutch auto transmission.

What does Hybrid mean?

A hybrid electric vehicle combines two different types of power: electricity and petrol. Hybrid cars regenerate energy through the braking system to power the battery. The engine and battery tend to help each other out. They can work together or separately.

What are E-Hybrid cars?

E-Hybrid cars are plug-in hybrid vehicles. We don't use this terminology in our range of plug-in hybrid vehicles.

PEUGEOT OPENS ORDERS FOR NEW 2008 HYBRID

25 Posted: 25th Mar 2024

PEUGEOT has announced that the 48V self-charging HYBRID powertrain is now open for orders on the new 2008, with first customer deliveries due in March. In addition, the new E-2008 will now also be available with a 100kW (136hp) electric motor and 50kWh battery. The new E-2008 is available with 0% APR over four years and no minimum deposit, as well as £4,000 support, thanks to the PEUGEOT Switch Grant.

New to the 2008 range, the HYBRID 136 e-DSC6 combines a 1.2-litre petrol engine with a new six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox incorporating a 21kW electric motor and a 0.9kWh 48V Lithium-ion battery to deliver improved efficiency and extra torque at low revs.

The 2008’s new hybrid powertrain offers up to 1km of electric-only range for low-speed urban cruising, improved fuel economy for fewer trips to the pumps, and a reduction in CO₂ of up to 26g/km compared to the existing PureTech 130 EAT8 engine. Thanks to the CO₂ reduction, the hybrid powertrain has a reduced rate of Vehicle Excise Duty and a lower rate of Benefit-in-Kind Tax for company car drivers.

In addition to the hybrid powertrain, the 100kW (136hp) electric powertrain with the 50kWh battery is now available on the new E-2008, delivering a range of up to 214 miles (WLTP), and zero-emission performance and comfort at a lower entry price point. With this powertrain, customers can achieve a 20-80% charge in less than 30 minutes when using a 100kW DC rapid charger, extending to 7 hours and 30 minutes when using a 7.4kW AC fast charger.

In addition, the existing PureTech 100 powertrain with a six-speed manual transmission is now available on Allure trim models, meaning the higher specification of Allure becomes even more affordable with the reduced price walk from the Active trim.
