Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 (2010) first details

Peugeot has released details of its new 3008 Hybrid4, the world's first hybrid production car with a diesel engine under the bonnet.

The Hybrid4 employs PSA's 2.0-litre oil-burner allied to an electric motor, and offers claimed fuel economy of 74mpg and CO2 emissions of 99g/km, slipping – just – under the 100g/km barrier.

And actually, the arse is better than we could reasonably have expected. As we said when we ran the last tease of the JX , we’d half expected the JX to be the even uglier sibling to the horrible QX (which is an uglified and titivated Nissan Patrol).
