2021 Peugeot EV and Hybrid car (rumor)
Peugeot has chosen the Paris Auto Show to announce
that by 2021, it will have three plug-in hybrid and two electric vehicles on
the market. As part of the company's Push to Pass strategy, brand boss
Jean-Philippe Imparato revealed to Autocar that the French firm will launch
hybrid variants of the 3008, 5008 and 508 and all-electric derivatives of both
the 208 and 2008.
Few additional details about the model's are known at this stage other than the fact that they'll start rolling out in 2019 and that the plug-in hybrid 3008 will have an all-electric range of 60 km.

Perhaps the most interesting of all these models
will be the electric 208. Given the vehicle's size, Peugeot will have to give
it a range competitive to the 383 km range of the Chevrolet Bolt and
300 km usable range of the updated Renault Zoe ZE 40.
That will be no easy task for the company's first
all-electric hatchback and one with a mass-market appeal (excluding the rather
curious iON).
