Well, let’s not get too excited, it’s still a mild hybridization engine. That is to say, equipped with a 48V electrical system designed to assist the petrol engine during low-speed driving phases, or even driving for 1 km in all-electric mode.
This new engine will develop 136 hp and should enable a 15% reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to the current 1.2 Puretech 130. It will be automatically associated with the eight-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. .
The Peugeot 3008 and 5008 SUVs will be the first to benefit from it at the beginning of next year.
