Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4: But please with diesel ...
In love with future technology: ChroniquesDuVasteMonde editor Susanne Gerlach
Wow? a full hybrid diesel as a production model! So far, I only knew an electric and gasoline mix that collected environmental points. And now a diesel engine as a hybrid partner that sends a little less carbon dioxide into the air. But before the reverence for so much sophisticated technology puts me out of action, I prefer to leave.
No question, comfortable is the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (? 4? As four-wheel drive) anyway, and comfortable, with the best all-round visibility. But so in white does this middle-class "crossover" work? (Mix of SUV and Van) like a too big "Knut", cuddly like a polar bear cub. Other drivers simply ignore us as soon as I want to change lanes. Respect goes differently.
Absolutely top of the Hybrid4, however, is the fuel and CO2 savings. If you do everything right. Diesel and electric motor, fed by a high-performance battery, share the tasks so smoothly that I have to listen carefully, who is doing his job: At slow start and at low speed, the electric motor drives silent and emission-free the rear wheels. When accelerating, the diesel starts.
Pure electric drive is also: sooooo slow. I can not do that in Hamburg City. First I torture myself through the rush hour, but as soon as I have free ride, I step on the gas vigorously! The penalty: 8.8 liters consumption. Nevertheless, not bad for such a 1.8-ton vehicle (only the power unit in the rear is namely with about 120 kilograms).
But that too counts: Hybrid calms the conscience. And makes fun. As I drive, I constantly stare at the on-board computer: which engine is currently working? How's the battery? Can I still load them a little? Get off the gas, let it roll, brake it? already she fills up. Recuperation experts say, and this is not just a nice game, but worth cash.
TOP and FLOP
- by views: Display in front of the windshield shows u. a. the pace, large panoramic glass roof (unfortunately not open).
- Comfort: Uncomplicated loading through two-part tailgate; automatic parking brake instead of classic handbrake.
- driving style: Car, sport or all-wheel drive adjustable; is easy to steer.
- shelves: Ample; Compartment in the center console opens
- only direction driver's seat.
- Price-performance: A lot of technology for a lot of money.
