Frankfurt Preview: Peugeot 308 Hybrid HDi gets 69 mpg with only 90 g/km of CO2
Filed under: Diesel, Hybrid, Peugeot, Frankfurt Motor Show
French automaker Peugeot will be showing the latest iteration of their diesel-hybrid demonstration vehicles at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show. Previously they had shown a 307 and also Citroen C4 with a diesel parallel hybrid powertrain. The new car is based on the recently-introduced 308 which is a C-Class-sized car similar to the Ford Focus or Chevy Cobalt.
The new 308 hybrid HDi has a 107hp 1.6L diesel along with a 21hp electric motor. On the EU combined cycle the 308 is rated at 69mpg (US) and only 90g/km of CO2. That puts it very close to the latest Smart ForTwo diesel which gets 72mpg / 88 g/km but in a much more practical five-seat package. Production is currently targeted for 2010. All the details are after the jump.
