Peugeot 3008 Hybrid and Ford Kuga Hybrid Reviewed in Slovakia

The new Peugeot 3008 Hybrid is presented as a design‑focused SUV‑coupé. Its sloping roofline, distinctive front fascia and updated Peugeot logo give it a French‑styled appearance that prioritises aesthetics over immediate excitement. Inside, a large curved digital display integrates the instrument panel and infotainment system, while the overall cabin aims for a premium feel.

The Ford Kuga Hybrid relies on a sizable 2.5‑liter gasoline engine operating on the Atkinson cycle, avoiding turbocharging and complex components. Paired with a 94.7 kW permanent‑magnet synchronous motor and a 1.1 kWh lithium‑ion battery, the system achieves a combined output of 134 kW and a fuel consumption of about 5.5 L/100 km. The eCVT transmission provides seamless power delivery without a clutch, and the vehicle can travel roughly 214 km on electric power alone, accounting for 41 % of total mileage. Reviewers note the engine’s quiet operation and the hybrid’s overall efficiency.
