French manufacturer Peugeot has announced that the new 3008 SUV GT Hybrid4 will be available to order later this year, with a 36 mile range.

Powered by a combination of a 147kW (200hp) 1.6-L PureTech petrol engine and two electric motors, creating a combined power output of 220kW (300hp), the 13.2kWh battery provides up to 36 miles of 100 per cent electric, or zero emission range, with a full charge taking less than two hours using a 7kW chargepoint.

The 3008 SUV GT Hybrid4 is the first 3008 SUV available with four-wheel drive, while the ultra-low 29g/km CO2 emissions means the vehicle classifies in the lowest BIK rate for business and fleet users, attracting a BIK rating of only 10 per cent from April 2020.

The 3008 GT Hybrid4 will be joined by a 165kW (225hp) front-wheel drive model after its launch.

Peugeot claims that it will offer electrified variants of every model in its line-up by 2023.

David Peel, Managing Director of Peugeot UK, said: “The 3008 SUV GT Hybrid4 is the next step in PEUGEOT’s electrification journey. It will join the all-new e-208 and e-2008 SUV, and follows our philosophy of ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain’, as 3008 SUV buyers have the choice between efficient petrol, diesel and the plug-in hybrid electric technology for their car.”
