My Dummy Car

Peugeot is in no mood to hold back the details of the 3008 Hybrid4 and RCZ Hybrid4 until the Frankfurt Motor Show. But since it’s fun to leak details here they are. The new RCZ Hybrid4 will not be petrol/electric commuter, instead, it will be coupled with a turbo diesel motor. Diesel is more common in Europe and hence we can understand the unusual comparison.

The 3008 HYbrid4 Concept has a C02 rating of just 99g/km while the numbers for the RCZ HYbrid4 Concept give back 95g/km which is understandable for it is more performance oriented. Both hybrids will run on a parallel mechanism switching between the two facets depending on the situation. Also both systems can be used at the same time for maximum performance.

The Peugeot RCZ coupe is slated for a Frankfurt debut but Peugeot has made the details public before the upcoming motor show. The French twin-door option will be available in three engine choices. A 1.6-litre THP petrol turbo 156bhp with 240Nm torque will be the lowest option and it will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.

The second option will be a diesel variant — 2.0-litre HDi FAP with a 6-speed manual gearbox, that outputs 163bhp and 340Nm of torque. The range topping motor will be the 1.6-litre THP which produces 200bhp at 255Nm of torque and comes with an overboost function that will help it kick up 20Nm more.
