El Peugeot 3008 is being a success in the Old Continent and also in our country. It has only been for sale for a few months but even so it has managed to position itself as one of the benchmark models in the segment SUV, standing up to models like the new Seat Ateca or the very king of the segment, the Nissan Qashqai. In addition to his sales data, let us remember that he has recently been named European Car of the Year.
Rumors have pointed, in recent months, to a possible sports variant with GTi name and signed by Peugeot Sport, which would be a Peugeot 3008 GTi. According to recent statements from senior officials of the French company, at the moment we will not see said high-performance version, although they have confirmed a high performance hybrid variant although without too many sporting pretensions. Auto Express states that the maximum power of the set would be 300 CV.
According to our peers' post, Peugeot will launch this variant as a plug-in hybrid, a PHEV. They also comment that Peugeot's product manager, lauren blanchet has given them important details such as hybrid technology "will be available with the 1.6 THP petrol engine” Or like the total power would be around those 300 CV previously mentioned; also adding that the electric propulsion system will go on the rear axle, so will an all-wheel drive plug-in hybrid SUV.
This will undoubtedly make you one of the fastest midsize SUVs of the market, at least in the 0 to 100 km/h. Peugeot may not have the need to launch a sports product of this style and "settle" for a modelthe ecological that, in addition, has a good reserve of power; but it is true that it would be a worthy rival for the supposed Seat Ateca Cupra. The Peugeot 3008 PHEV (plug-in hybrid) of about 300 hp will hit the market in 2019.

Nothing is known yet about the autonomy it would have only in electric mode and approximately what price it would be around?
Will there also be a 5008 plug-in hybrid?
They have to hurry because the government is going to impose more taxes on diesel and then the sales of these units with these engines are going to drop sharply and they will be left behind
What price would it have because it is the car for which I would wait since it meets all my essentials and more being a hybrid.
