At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Peugeot announced that it's now taking reservations - in 11 European countries - for its 3008 HYbrid4 Limited Edition model. Only 300 of the limited edition, through-the-road diesel-electric hybrids will be built, so scoring one may prove to be difficult.
The 3008 HYbrid4 is powered by a 163-horsepower 2.0-liter diesel engine and an electric motor that offers up 27 kW (37 hp). Peak torque is listed at a whopping 369 pound-feet, of which 221 lb-ft of twist, provided by the diesel mill, spin the front wheels while 148 lb-ft, generated by the electric motor, power the rears. The powertrain's unique setup makes the 3008 a four-wheel-drive vehicle and assists it in achieving a fuel economy rating of 61.9 miles per gallon (U.S.), with emissions pegged at 99 grams per kilometer of CO2.
The cost of purchasing one of the 300 limited edtion 3008 HYbrid4 models varies depending upon country. However, it's listed price tag in France is €41,500 ($57,400 U.S. at the current exchange rate). Hop the jump to watch Peugeot's rather abstract video touting the uniqueness of the 3008 HYbrid4.
