Peugeot unveils new plug-in hybrid engine range

Peugeot's new hybrid engines give Peugeot drivers the chance to experience new driving modes in their cars, including the ZEV 100% electric mode, four-wheel drive mode with the Hybrid4, Sport mode, Comfort mode or Hybrid mode.

The high voltage lithium-ion (300V) battery, which comes with new models fitted with Peugeot's Hybrid and Hybrid4 engines, has a capacity between 11.8KWh and 13.2KWh, allowing the cars to drive up to 48km on a single electric charge. 

Energy conservation is further enhanced through intuitive features on the Hybrid engines, including i-Booster, a braking system, which conserves power as the car brakes or decelerates, and e-Save, allowing drivers to reserve electric energy for planned routes ahead.

The vehicles can be recharged in less than two hours by using a Wallbox (6.6kW 32A). Guide lamps surround the charging socket so you can easily and quickly check the battery charge. Once the plug is connected, colours will indicate the progress of the battery charge. Discreetly installed, the charging hatch is located on the rear left wing of the vehicle. The charging system fits easily into specific storage under the boot floor.

Accessibility to the new Peugeot Hybrid engines is made easier with the hybrid version of the Peugeot i-Cockpit, giving the driver access to all essential Hybrid functions at their fingertips. With a direct access button available on the touchscreen, drivers can see information regarding their Hybrid engine's efficiency, such as electricity consumption and fuel consumption.

Key driving information, such as driving mode, electric gauge level and available electrical distance, is displayed in the driver's field of vision.
