Peugeot 3008 Technical Specifications (2016-present)

Hello and welcome. In this article we look at the technical specifications of the Peugeot 3008 II (2016-present). We will cover engine figures, towed loads, hybrid motor and battery details, and where to find the identification markings on the car.

Quick Reference

Engine technical data and towed loads

Your car's engine characteristics are given in the registration document and in sales brochures. The tables in the handbook only show the values available at the time of publication, so contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop for any missing values.

The maximum power figure is the value type-approved on a test bed, as defined by Regulation EU 715/2007.

Weights and towed loads are shown on the registration document, in sales brochures and on the manufacturer's plate or label. Keep these points in mind:

• Altitude: the GTW (Gross Train Weight) and towed load values are valid up to a maximum altitude of 1,000 metres. Reduce the towed load by 10% for each additional 1,000 metres.
• Nose weight: the maximum authorised nose weight is the weight permitted on the towball.
• Hot weather: in high exterior temperatures, performance may be limited to protect the engine. Above 37°C, reduce the towed weight.
• Road holding: towing can affect road holding, even when the car itself is lightly loaded.
• Braking: braking distances are longer when you tow a trailer.
• Speed: never exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) when towing, and observe the local legislation in force.

For more information, contact a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Engines and towed loads - Petrol

The handbook lists five petrol engines. All of them run on unleaded fuel. BVM6 is a manual 6-speed gearbox, EAT6 an automatic 6-speed and EAT8 an automatic 8-speed.

These are the towed loads for the 3008 body style. The braked trailer figure applies within the GTW limit, on a 10% or 12% gradient.

The handbook also lists separate figures for the 5008 body style, so make sure you read the 3008 values for your car.

Engines and towed loads, BlueHDi Diesel

The handbook lists one BlueHDi Diesel engine, the BlueHDi 130 S&S EAT8.

• Gearbox: EAT8 (automatic 8-speed)
• Code: DV5RC ATN8 STT
• Model code (3008): YHZU/C
• Cubic capacity: 1,499 cc
• Max. power, EC standard: 96 kW
• Fuel: Diesel
• Braked trailer, within the GTW limit, on a 10% or 12% gradient: 1,300 kg
• Unbraked trailer: 750 kg
• Maximum authorised nose weight: 80 kg

Engines and towed loads - Hybrid

The HYBRID 136 e-DCS6 combines a petrol engine with an electric motor and a small traction battery. These are the 3008 figures from the handbook.

Engines and towed loads - Rechargeable hybrid

The handbook lists three rechargeable hybrid versions for the 3008. All use an electric automatic 8-speed gearbox and run on unleaded fuel.

Power figures are to the EC standard. The electric motors are synchronous with permanent magnets, the traction battery is Lithium-Ion, and the braked trailer figure applies within the GTW limit, on a 10% or 12% gradient.

Dimensions (mm)

The handbook gives the dimensions of the 3008 in millimetres. All of them were measured on an unladen vehicle, so check the 3008 dimensions page in your handbook for the individual figures.

Identification markings

Your 3008 carries several visible markings for identification and vehicle searches:

• A. VIN under the bonnet: stamped on the chassis.
• B. VIN on the dashboard: printed on an adhesive label you can see through the windscreen.
• C. Manufacturer's label: fixed to the right-hand door.
• D. Tyres/paint code label: fixed to the driver's door.

The manufacturer's label shows:

• Manufacturer's name
• European whole vehicle type approval number
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Gross vehicle weight (GVW)
• Gross train weight (GTW)
• Maximum weight on the front axle
• Maximum weight on the rear axle

The tyres/paint code label shows:

• Tyre pressures, unladen and laden
• Tyre specification: dimensions, type, and load and speed indices
• Spare tyre inflation pressure
• Paint colour code

Your car may have been fitted from new with tyres that have higher load and speed indices than the label shows, and this does not affect tyre pressure (on cold tyres). If you change the type of tyres, contact a PEUGEOT dealer for the tyre fits approved for your car.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much can a Peugeot 3008 tow?

It depends on the engine. For the 3008, braked trailer limits range from 600 kg on the THP 150 and THP 165 EAT6 up to 1,500 kg on the PureTech 180 S&S EAT8, within the GTW limit on a 10% or 12% gradient.

What is the maximum towing speed for a Peugeot 3008?

The handbook says never exceed 62 mph (100 km/h) when towing, and always observe the local legislation in force.

Where is the VIN on a Peugeot 3008?

The VIN is stamped on the chassis under the bonnet and printed on an adhesive label you can see through the windscreen. It also appears on the manufacturer's label on the right-hand door.

Where do I find the tyre pressures on my Peugeot 3008?

They are on the tyres/paint code label fixed to the driver's door. It shows unladen and laden pressures, plus the spare tyre inflation pressure.

Keep these figures in mind before you hitch up a trailer or change your tyres, and remember that the registration document and the manufacturer's label hold the values that apply to your own 3008. If anything is missing, a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop can give you the exact figures.
