Peugeot 508 and 3008 Get Plug in Hybrid Models

Boutique brand, Peugeot Australia is joining the “battery brigade”, with plug-in hybrid versions of their 3008 SUV and 508 Fastback.

The duo comes to our shores in Q1, 2022, and Peugeot Australia is offering test drive program in select dealerships before the official launch.

Kate Gillis, General Manager Peugeot Australia, said: “Globally, we know that Peugeot has made a commitment to have an electrified variant across the entire model line-up by 2025 and it is with great anticipation and excitement that we take our first steps in the Australian market with the introduction of the Peugeot 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid AWD and Peugeot 508 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid.

“The introduction of our plug-in hybrid electric vehicles allows Peugeot to enter a new segment for the brand and reach a new audience of Australian consumers.

“Peugeot’s plug-in hybrid electric vehicles offer our customers versatility, allowing them to experience 100% electric driving whilst maintaining the choice to utilise the traditional combustion engine for longer journeys.”
