PEUGEOT 3008 test drive since 2009 minivan

Diesel -seal. We test Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4

Peugeot 3008 The car is strange: a tall, puffy, disproportionate body with a heavy lower part. Kiosk, in a word. It seems like a crossover, but the road clearance is quite a passenger 150 mm. It is not sacred, at the basis of the platform of the 308th model ... So, in fact, our ward is a big front-wheel drive hatchback, although not devoid of charisma ...


Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 does not externally differ from ordinary modifications. Only a scattering of nameplates allows you to identify a combined drive. The number 4 in the name suggests that the hybrid is all -wheel drive, the front wheels are spinning a diesel engine, the rear electric

The start of the PEUGEOT 3008 production took place in 2009. And now the reason to pay attention to the model was the output of the Hybrid4 version with a diesel-electrical drive. First in the world! I got acquainted with the research of French engineers, going to the test of the novelty in Brittany.

Why did no one make hybrids with diesel before? The solution has been asked for a long time, because diesel engines have a larger efficiency than gasoline engines, have excellent thrust at low and medium speeds, moreover, heavy fuel is cheaper. There are two main problems with the implementation.

The first is the need to increase the endurance and resource of the turbocharger. The torn mode of the internal combustion engine operating as part of a hybrid drive with constant inclusions/off does not the best effect on the working capacity of the turbine. This issue is resolved here. The impeller’s impeller, the axis and bearings are made of more hardy materials. Lubrication and cooling of bearings are more effective. Also, thanks to the reconfigurated gas pressure control, the load on the compressor, the maximum speed of rotation of the impeller and thermal stresses is reduced. Due to the latter, a two-liter motor in a hybrid develops a smaller torque of 300 Newton meters, while the usual diesel version gives 40 nm more.

 
In ZEV, when the operation of the electric drive is priority, the minimum fuel consumption 3008 Hybrid4 is 3.8 liters per 100 km. In this case, it throws 99 grams per kilometer of the way

The second problem of vibration at idle. The diesel engine is initially stronger than vibration, rather than gasoline. Most of the work companies achieve by improving the process of mixing and combustion, put improved supports. The stumbling block for most vibration of the body that causes the engine when turning on/off (manufacturers have already encountered this when installing the start-stop system, the annoying trembling constantly runs through the body). So the hydraulic power plants used on Hybrid4 completely eliminate 3008 of this ailment. The moments when the engine joins or is disconnected is not visible at all.


The adjustment range of the steering column is wide and horizontally and vertically. In addition to the huge central box and glove box, there is another one located under the steering column


The tachometer is replaced by a scale that shows the modes and efficiency of the drive as a percentage. The scale is divided into three sectors. When the car moves in the recuditive braking mode of the shooter in the charging area. When you move at a constant speed on an electric motor or using two arrow engines in the ECO sector

I get behind the wheel. Aga-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Another dashboard instead of a tachometer here is a turnout, which shows the modes and efficiency of the hybrid drive. The black-orange screen of the on-board computer, in addition to duty information, displays the operating modes of the drive. Visual animated icons are also displayed on the monitor of the multimedia system. Everything seems?


The selector is short and comfortable, its height changes depending on the position. The modes are four R, N, A (automatic) and M (manual). In the MD mode, it can only be juggled with the help of steering wheel switches, it will switch to an increased box upon reaching maximum revolutions.

A round selector of choosing a hybrid drive modes (it is a derivative of the ESP Grip Control operating mode switch for normal modification) is uninformative. Small and dull diode indicators in a chrome rim are practically not visible in the afternoon. The current mode can be shown on the displays of the dashboard and the multimedia system, but not the fact that this information will be before the eyes at the right time
No, lying. There is also a new transmission selector. On ordinary versions, a high poker sticking out of a massive central tunnel looks alien. In the hybrid, the lever is a short, neat tunnel lies perfectly in the hand. Klaz-Class! Four fixed provisions R, N, A and M are built in a line, but by touch when switching, you will not confuse the height of the selector changes depending on the selected mode (in R and D it is lower). Note that Position P is not in the hybrid. You can fix the car either with an electromechanical handbrake (it has an automatic mode), or by leaving the transfer on during a drilled ICE.



Air conditioning and heating are possible only with a working engine. Heating and cooling is carried out in portions, the diesel is completely inconspicuous each time at the command of the climate control. By the way, an amplifier of brakes in a working ICE does not need. The pump, which creates a vacuum in a vacuum, is given by a separate electric motor

The rest of the hybrid 3008 inside is absolutely the same as ordinary. The front seats with unobtrusive side support are pleasantly accepting the body and hold well in corners. The landing is a little vertical. In complete silence, I am rolled out from the airport parking lot. For the first few minutes I move exclusively in the electric protrusion. The electric motor through the gearbox here leads the rear axle, the modest man develops only 27 kW (36 hp) at 2500 rpm. The dynamics of overclocking with an increase in speed falls. But the start even on dry asphalt can be with a slip. It is not surprising, the maximum of torque of 200 Nm is developing an electric motor in the range from zero to 1290 rpm.


As an option for 3008, a sophisticated three -zone multimedia is available with the possibility of Internet access, capable of working with a bunch of peripheral devices. The system includes navigation, DVD and a couple of monitors integrated into the head restraints of the front chairs

But it is worthwhile to tap the gas in more or less, as the 3008th immediately receives a bad kick and an inevitable wave of acceleration. Suddenly. The turbodiesel woke up! Is there a joke? Two liters, 163 hp At 3850 rpm and 300 Newton meters in the range of 17503500 revolutions! You do not expect such dynamics from the car. When both engines are involved, acceleration to 100 km/h occupies all 8.5 seconds. And this is with a mass of 1660 kilograms. A conventional version with a similar diesel and automatic weighs 1539 kg and accelerates more slowly in 9.7 seconds. True, the maximum speed of the latter is higher than 195 km/h against 191 for a hybrid.


The multimedia system includes navigation, it is able to work with many peripheral devices and indicate the modes of the hybrid drive. The monitor has an electric drive, it is a pity that the lower line is not visible from the driver's seat, it is blocked by the edge of the panel, a clear ergonomic blunder

The suspension on Hybrid4 is reconfigured, so 121-kilogram growth in standard movements is not felt at all. Comfort at a constant level, the rolls, as before, moderate, efforts of feedback on the steering wheel, reaction rate, and the efficiency of braking everything, like the usual 3008th. It is nice to drive this car. Only at the limit, when I begin to provoke a skid in a speedy turn, you feel that inert food with additional ballast is about to go into the dance. After all, the behind the main transmission, differential and half -sunny, and the battery, and a multi -leaf suspension on the subframe (in the usual front -wheel drive, a semi -volatile beam specially designed for Hybrid4). But no, a strict system of dynamic gliding stabilization extinguishes already in the bud.


Landing both front and upright. The front seats with implicit lateral support, but hold well, especially those that are sheathed with fabric. I did not like the control of heating chairs. A small uncowned wheel located on the side of the pillow has to rotate blindly. At the back of the place, even tall riders are enough. Flat floor and the presence of niches underfoot is certainly plus

Diesel, which works in tandem with a six -speed BMP6 robot and a single -disc clutch, pulls mainly the front wheels. This tandem works roughly, shocks during switching cannot even smooth out an electric motor under the thrust. Fast switches with jerks are good for improving the dynamics, but what about passengers, whom they begin to rock from a gust of fair wind?


The luggage compartment of the hybrid version is not much smaller than that of the usual 3008, it changes from 377 to 1501 liters. But the volume allotted under the spare wheel ate the battery, electric motor and back multi -link


Ease of use and transformation of the compartment at a height. On the sides are a niche with a grid and hooks. On the sides on the right and left there are keys that allow you to fold the seats remotely from the street (you can also fold the seat from the cabin). The back is folded in a ratio of 2: 3 and has a hatch for long -meters in a wide segment. Under the false floor, a volumetric niche, in which a compressor with a sealant is fixed, collapsible anti-traffic shoes and an emergency stop sign. You can hide the shelf in this niche. There is no jack, what is the meaning in it, since there is no spare wheel? The folding rear side of the delicacy, which allows you to not tear the back when loading/unloading heavy things. In addition, it will transport large -scale cargoes that go beyond the dimensions of the car

In total, four operating modes of the ZEV, 4WD, Sport and Auto hybrid drive are provided. The choice is made by a puck next to the transmission selector. In ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) Hybrid4 moves mainly in electric trustees. ICE is connected only after reaching 60 km/h or when the charge of the traction battery runs out. 4WD involves start and movement on both engines, so it is best suited for off -road, snow or slippery coating. In Sport mode, acceleration is most dynamic, here the electronics willingly holds a turbodiesel in a good shape in reduced gears.


The type of drive on Peugeot Hybrid4 is consistent. It was developed by Peugeot engineers in collaboration with companions. So, for example, the entire electromechanical part was created by Bosch, the battery of Sanyo.

The rear wheels are given by an electric motor, which is powered by a traction battery.

The front wheels are driven by diesel engine 2.0 HDI, working with a six -speed robotic transmission. The engine is combined with an 8-acid generator, which is capable of, if necessary, to recharge the traction battery and nourish the traction electric motor.

1. A generator, united with the main program and differential.

2. The traction nickel-metallological battery Sanyo. The life life of the battery is equal to the life of the car. In numbers, this is 15 years with an annual run of not more than 15 thousand kilometers. Warranty of five years or 100,000 km of run.

3. PTMU unit (Power Train Management Unit), combining the converter and inverter. The cooling of power electronics and battery is air, it is carried out using fans.

4. Starter Generator.

5. A six -speed robotic gearbox BMP6 with a single -disk clutch.

6. The rear multi -link suspension collected on a steel subframe.

7. The front suspension is MacPherson.

Auto is a universal mode that automatically adapting the drive to various conditions. In AUTO, for example, the start is always carried out using an electric motor (if the traction battery is not discharged). It is worth pressing a little more on gas, as a diesel engine will be put into effect. Recuperative braking (this is when the traction electric motor goes into the generator mode) is always used when you slow down or go with a roll. Unless the transmission selector to neutrals.


The rear multi -link suspension with an electric power unit is mounted on a steel subframe. A bridge from scratch was developed specifically for the hybrid version (the usual 3008 behind a semi -dependent beam). The body has undergone minimal alteration. The trunk volume almost did not change, the only thing, I had to sacrifice a niche for a spare wheel. Pay attention to how shock absorbers with springs are littered. Green marked a generator, united with the main program and differential


On the left, the speed characteristics of the turbodiesel 2.0 HDI, on the right of the electric motor. The wiping of the torque, red power

And what happens when the battery is devastated? The hybrid moves exclusively due to diesel. At the same time, the battery is recharged from the traction electric motor during braking and from an 8-kilowth generator (he is also a starter), which is given from the internal combustion engine. So even with an empty battery, the thrust on the back axis will be supplied if necessary! But the accelerated dynamics in this case will deteriorate a little, the hybrid at the diesel engine gets in 9.2 seconds (I remind you, a lighter standard diesel version with the robot, this exercise does even more slowly in 9.7 seconds).

If the fuel ends, there is a chance to get to the column, but provided that it is not far. With a pair of passengers and a belongings on board, our hybrid on a flat road without a diesel engine at a speed of 50-55 km/h lasted 3.2 kilometers (4 are declared in the characteristics). Accordingly, if you move on the rise, the electrical range is greatly reduced.

And what about efficiency? With a pair of adult men and baggage, the average consumption of diesel fuel in a dough dough mode with long high -speed straight lines and frequent accelerations to the floor was 7.4 liters (according to the passport 3.8)! This is a great result for a 1660-kilogram car with such a dynamics. It was not even in thoughts that there was no specially bred and saved. The climate worked all the way, and I was not modest with gas. For the sake of the experiment, he traveled around the city. If you move properly and the arrangement of not a stake, but also without interfering with low speed, the consumption falls to the four liters per hundred stated in the city. That is the strength of the hybrid.

What happens on a solid coating and in the city, we figured out. Now let's see how Hybrid4 behaves outside the road. I did not have the opportunity to check the drive in loose snow or ice. But I found a country road, where it was possible to simulate diagonal hanging.

So, Auto mode. Under the small gas I touch the electric vehicle and run around the front left wheel on the soil shaft. The rear left wheel breaks a little from the ground and, hanging, begins to spin idly. I stop and roll back. I give more gas, the situation is repeated, but now that the 3008th rested on an obstacle, the electronics understands that the electrics in order to move on is not enough. The diesel engine is also connected to action. Further, the matter goes more fun, the wheels, although they are hung out, but now the moment was stuck on both axles.


The lowest point in the rear part is the alloy crankcase of the main gear. The distance to the surface is slightly less than 150 mm. You need to be more careful with this

The anti -wings system is a fool, although it works with tangible delay, but, slowing down with impulses, rotating idle wheels, in abundance delivers traction to wheels that have reliable contact with the surface. Hooray! The test has passed, with diagonal hanging I successfully climbed onto a rather steep shaft, sat on the belly, and immediately just as successfully tears from it. In 4WD, such obstacles to overcome more handy, in this mode, both engines always work together. Only one possibilities of a complete hybrid drive on the off -roads can match the geometric cross -country ability. And more is not required.

In France, the hybrid version of the 3008th costs 35 20037 400 euros. Sales are about to start. A similar diesel modification with an automaton will cost a minimum of 34,400 euros. The difference is small. But, for example, in the same France it is legally established that when buying a hybrid, the state returns to you 2000 euros. The French company is still silent about Russian prospects. But there is a news about China for the Middle Kingdom Peegeot is now preparing a 3008 Hybrid4 version with a gasoline engine.

About hybrids in a nutshell
A hybrid drive (it is also called a combined drive) implies the presence of two electric and thermal engines on board the car (internal combustion engine of the ICE).

The hybrid drive gives advantages only during operation in the city or mixed mode, when frequent accelerations and braking occur. In this case, the energy of movement, which an ordinary car spends on heating the brake discs, is converted by the generator engine into electric energy. The latter is stored in the battery and is used again for movement. Thus, fuel consumption in the city can be even less than on the highway at cruising speed.

At low speeds, in traffic jams or residential arrays, a hybrid car, as a rule, moves on an electric protrusion. The internal combustion engine is disabled. This allows you to improve the environmental situation in places of large clusters of cars, where the concentration of combustion products is great.

With intensive acceleration, both engines work together.

When driving or inhibition of the internal combustion engine moves, and the traction electric motor goes into the generator mode and recharges the traction battery. The battery charge, if necessary (for example, with complete discharge after a long parking), can also be replenished from the generator combined with the ICE. If for some reason the electric part refused, the car moves due to the heat engine.

The advantages of a hybrid in operating conditions, which involve long -term movement with constant speeds, come to naught. When there is no braking (as in the urban cycle), there is no energy that can be stained and used again. Consequently, the electrical equipment of the drive of the motor-generator, the battery, power electronics, high-voltage wires, etc. They turn into unnecessary ballast, which only increases fuel consumption.

Hybrids are always more expensive than similar cars with DIC drive. The higher price of the economy of the hybrid is compensated after only a few years. It all depends on the conditions and intensity of operation. The best environmental friendliness of hybrids is also in question, since it is not yet a fact that the saved fuel overlaps damage inflicted by a more complex production process. But the most non -ecological component of the drive is the battery little to produce it, it still needs to be disposed of.
