Last month, Stellantis announced Peugeot will introduce no fewer than five electric vehicles in Europe within the next two years. Two of them are going to be the E-3008 and E-5008 based on the next-generation models, but in the meantime, the current crossovers are being partially electrified. As announced during the same E-Lion Day in late January, the compact duo is receiving mild-hybrid tech to reduce fuel consumption by as much as 15 percent.
The company with the updated lion badge has crunched the numbers and has come to the conclusion the 3008 and 5008 with a 48V setup drink 2.5 liters less per 62 miles (100 kilometers) in the city and 0.7 liters less outside of it. On the highway, the pair of compact crossovers consumes just about the same amount of fuel as before. On average, this mild-hybrid powertrain reduces fuel consumption by 1 liter / 100 km in the WLTP cycle. CO2 emissions are down on average by 20 g/km.
