Im reaaly love this car ,but in Taiwan,these “hi-tech”cars always makes me feel very sad,cuz when Taiwan people can buy these cars ,it’s always become “old”cars…
wonderful review!!!
hope they come into Taiwan
I’m waiting for an automaker to copy the most efficient drivetrain yet from freight trains. All electric, all the time, with just a small diesel to recharge the batteries when low. No engines cutting in, no gearboxes, a constant 1000 or so engine rpm all the time for the longest life…
I’m glad for you, I’m actually testing another 3008 with grip control this weekend and I’m looking forward to it. It’s a huge complement from your Son, wish him all the best and thanks from me!
Your review won me over Bob – picking up my 3008 Hybrid on Friday. Keep up the good work; my oldest son (age 21) has got a man crush on you! 🙂
I agree. The 308 Looks really really nice. Great looking car, looks like a quality interior aswell. Look forward to Bobs review.
Thanks Bob, I did order one after a test drive, and hopefully it’ll be ready to collect tomorrow!
ugly car, and the hybrid version make (real) worst mileage than the only diesel version
Fantastic review, fantastic guy and it made me get me a 3008 hybrid 4!!
there is nothing like it on the market,the only way you will get a seamless transition is by high clutch slippage which increases wear.
Hey Bob, thanks for the review. It does seem from the video that there is a bit rough transition whenever the car switches from diesel to electric and vice versa. Can you please compare the comfort felt from driving this against the Prius or even the Lexus hybrids?
Thanks!
If one comes up for test I’ll get it. 208 is the car of the moment right now but I’ll ask!
Love your reviews; any chance u will do a review about the new peugeot 308? i saw it lately and like it very much!! if u say it’s good i will buy it!! greetings from Morocco 🙂
Great review! I have learnt a lot about this car thanks to this video.
The 7 seat Prius isn’t as good (or economical) as the 3008, just drove it the other day and while it’s nice it only has a shelf with all 7 seats up. The last row of seats are for kids only btw.
Sorry, I missed your comment. I think it’s on the left side of the steering wheel. There’s a switch for speed limiter and cruise control. Once it’s on you just press the plus to set it.
The one who voted “Bad” had a Prius… LOL !
basically similar to Prius system ? I have one Prius, and I’m French and I see everyday lots of 3008… There’s nothing to do with it !! Are you really sure you know what you’re talking about? On peugeot, it’s a Diesel, and each motor has its own part (thermal: front, electric: rear), and the Toy daesn’t have any system to correct the lags of the gearbox by using the electric motor, the 3008 has it!
Great review thanks Bob. Where’s the cruise control situated please? Doesn’t look like it’s on the wheel from pics I’ve seen. Trying to arrange a test drive at present ahead of ordering. Cheers
Thank you!
Great video- Iam a fan of 3008. h4.
got my 3008 hybrid yesterday, and I love it.
Insight.ahead of the curve
Correct with the added bonus that you can attach the electric motor to any back axle with few modifications and servicing can be done at non specialist if you’re just getting the diesel unit done.
This not because toyota made the first hybrid that it’s mean other manufacturer arn’t allowed to try to make hybrid there own way.
In Prius HSD, the system is fully integreated inside the gearbox. 2 electric motor/generator and petrol engine linked together via a powersharing mecanism.
In the HY4 You’ve got a normal diesel, with a Start and stop that act as generator. The whole electric propulsion system is in the back. If the hybrid system fail you still have a normal diesel to go with.
We’ve heard nothing about the 7 seat Prius coming to Ireland but no doubt Toyota will do something with it. It’ll still be a petrol model though, if your millage is high diesel will be a better option
It’s on a shortlist of 2 – the other one is the 7 seat Prius+
Are you likely to be reviewing that any time soon ?
Are you buying it?
Thank you!
Such a great review!!!
They use a diesel regenerative charge only. There is a 12v battery similar to a standard car for engine starting, electrics and other ancillaries.
Drove one of these today – Like you I was impressed.
Not drive without the diesel engine, drive without the diesel engine RECHARGING THE BATTEY? (Not shouting, just marking the words.. 😉
If you cant do that you earn nothing with charging it via diesel. The only way that should charge the battery is via regenerative braking, that´s the only way to gain mileage!
Thanks…I think
tanks for notten! great review Bob
How can you drive without the diesel engine if the battery is flat? I mean the clue is in your question
if you did some research you’d find that “world’s first diesel hybrid” are Peugeot’s own words not Bob’s. Actually they refer to the 3008 as being “the world’s first full diesel Hybrid vehicle”
Can you drive it without the diesel engine recharging the battery after it´s flat?
Retarded otherwise…
will do
