  • A seven-seat SUV puts more strain on its engine than a family hatchback. With every seat taken and the boot full, the Peugeot 5008 can be carrying several hundred kilograms more than its kerb weight, and many owners tow...

  • The 3008 has offered plug-in hybrid power across two generations, and in that time there have been four plug-in versions, including a four-wheel-drive model with an electric motor on the rear axle. If you're shopping...

  • Ask any 3008 owner which engine they have and you'll get a wide range of answers. Over the second-generation car's life (2016-2023) Peugeot sold everything from a 1.2-litre three-cylinder to a 300 hp four-wheel-drive...

  • The second-generation Peugeot 2008 has always been a small SUV built around small engines. That's good news for running costs, but it means choosing the right engine matters more than it does in a bigger car. This guide...

  • If you want a Peugeot 2008 but don't want a conventional petrol or diesel, there are two routes: the fully electric e-2008 and the 2008 Hybrid 136, a petrol car with 48-volt electric assistance. They suit very...

  • The second-generation Peugeot 508, sold as a Fastback (the handbook calls it a saloon) and an SW estate, was Peugeot's flagship for most of its life. Unlike many of its rivals, it never offered a big six-cylinder...

  • For much of its life, the plug-in hybrid was the Peugeot 508 that made the most sense in the UK, at least for company-car drivers. Low official CO2 figures kept benefit-in-kind tax down, and the electric motor makes the...

  • The Peugeot 408 is hard to categorise: part fastback saloon, part crossover. Its engine range is just as varied, with conventional petrol, a 48-volt hybrid, two kinds of plug-in hybrid and, more recently, the fully...

  • "Hybrid" covers a lot of ground in the current Peugeot 308 range. On a hatchback or SW badged Hybrid 136, it means a self-charging petrol car with a small electric boost. On a Plug-in Hybrid 180, 195 or 225, it means a...

  • Choosing an engine for a Peugeot 308 used to be simple: petrol or diesel. The third-generation car (2021 onwards) offers a much wider spread, from a three-cylinder turbo petrol to a 48-volt hybrid, two generations of...

  • The second-generation Peugeot 208 (launched in 2019) has been sold with more powertrains than almost any other small car: non-turbo and turbo petrols, a diesel, a 48-volt hybrid and a fully electric version. This guide...
