HOW DO PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLES WORK?

PEUGEOT plug-in hybrid cars combine electric technology for daily journeys with a range of up to 61 km and thermal use (gasoline) for long journeys.

EMP2 PLATFORM

The new EMP2 Common Modular Platform (CMP) has been developed in order to perfectly integrate the specific components of each energy, without compromising on performance.

ADVANTAGES OF THE PLUG-IN HYBRID ENGINE

Combination of an electric motor & petrol engine

OPTIMAL AND IMPERCEPTIBLE TRANSITIONS
To alternate between electric and combustion engines, the torque converter of the combustion engine versions is replaced by a wet multi-plate clutch to provide 60 Nm more torque and more responsiveness.
PETROL COMBUSTION ENGINE
The 1.6 PureTech engine has been adapted, with an alternator-starter and a specific cooling front panel. It produces 180 hp on HYBRID and 200 hp on HYBRID4.

NEW ELECTRIC AUTOMATIC GEARBOX
The PureTech engine is paired with the new 8-speed e-EAT8 automatic gearbox. Combined with the gearbox, an electric motor produces 110 hp/81 kW on the front axle.

PLUG-IN HYBRID VEHICLE BATTERY

LITHIUM-ION TYPE

The high-voltage battery is of the Lithium-ion type (300V) and is located under the rear seats on both HYBRID and HYBRID4 (4-wheel drive) versions. The battery has a capacity of 13.2 kWh.

The battery comes with an 8-year or 160,000 km warranty for 70% charge capacity.

In order to optimise CO2 consumption as much as possible, choose 100% electric driving for your daily urban journeys. Speed in 100% electric mode can reach 135 km/h before the internal combustion engine takes over.

Charge your vehicle every day so that you can enjoy 100% electric mode at all times!

ENRICHED DRIVING

For renewed pleasure

NEW BRAKE FUNCTION

The driver can choose to activate a new Brake function that allows the vehicle to decelerate without applying the brake pedal. It also allows the battery to be charged, such as when travelling downhill.

In Drive mode, a single rearward pull on the Shift and Park by wire automatic gearbox selector activates Brake mode.

4 DRIVING MODES

  • Electric: default mode, make the most of all the benefits of an electric vehicle
  • Hybrid: allows you to drive both on electric and internal combustion engines, depending on your driving style and the type of road you are driving on
  • Sport: enjoy maximum engine torque performance with the combination of both energies
  • Comfort: combines hybrid mode with the comfort of active suspension to ensure better road grip, while maintaining optimum comfort
NEW e-SAVE FUNCTION

With the e-SAVE function, the driver can set aside a reserve of electrical energy to be used when desired. This function can, for example, keep a reserve of electrical energy in anticipation of a restricted traffic area.

Accessible from the e-SAVE menu on the touchscreen, simply select Zero Emission mode on the driving mode selector for 100% electric driving.

PEUGEOT i-COCKPIT®

The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® incorporates driving information in the driver’s field of vision. It is fully customisable and configurable.

A power meter to the right of the digital instrument panel is made up of 3 zones:
 

  • ECO for energy-efficient driving
  • POWER for more dynamic driving
  • CHARGE for energy recovery phases

There are two gauges on either side of the instrument panel: one for fuel, the other for electric. The available range, in km, is indicated below these gauges.

e-EAT8 GEARBOX

The PureTech engine is paired with the new 8-speed e-EAT8 automatic gearbox. Combined with the gearbox, an electric motor produces 100 hp / 80 kW on the front axle.
