What is the maximum power of the Peugeot 3008 engine?

The maximum power of the Peugeot 3008 engine is 123kw. Taking the 2019 Peugeot 3008 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4435mm, width 1840mm, height 1652mm, wheelbase 2613mm, minimum ground clearance 178mm, and body weight 1540kg. The 2019 Peugeot 3008 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.6T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 167ps and a maximum torque of 245nm, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
As an owner of a 2021 Peugeot 3008, the maximum power output really depends on the specific engine variant. My 1.6T four-cylinder petrol engine is tuned to 180 horsepower, making city overtaking effortless. My friend's older 1.2T three-cylinder unit only produces 130hp, requiring deeper throttle input when climbing hills. The latest hybrid version combines the 1.6T with an electric motor for a surprising system output of 300hp! But what really amazed me was the diesel variant - the 2.0L engine delivers 170hp and maintains perfect stability on highways even when fully loaded. Before purchasing, it's best to check both the model year and engine code carefully. The same EP6 1.6T engine can vary by over 20hp across different model years due to tuning differences.
During my years working at the 4S dealership, customers often ask about power specifications. The domestic version of the Peugeot 3008, the 4008, produces 170 horsepower with the 1.6T engine and 211 horsepower with the 1.8T version, slightly different from the overseas models. The actual driving experience isn't just about power numbers—the Aisin 8AT transmission pairs exceptionally well. Last week, while test-driving for a customer, the turbo kicked in at just 1,750 rpm, making acceleration between 40-80 km/h in the city particularly brisk. The older 2.0L naturally aspirated version only delivers 147 horsepower and is common in the used car market now. I recommend focusing on the throttle response during test drives.
Last year, I studied Peugeot's engine technology, and the power parameters of the 3008 actually hide some secrets. The 1.6THP engine uses twin-scroll turbocharging, with the 180 horsepower version capable of reaching 250 Nm of torque. The manufacturer deliberately set the peak power rpm at 5500, making mid-range acceleration more powerful. Although the overseas GT version's 2.0T diesel engine is rated at 180 horsepower, its 400 Nm of torque allows it to break free faster than the gasoline version. Nowadays, many cars use power numbers for marketing, but the key is to see if the power curve is smooth. In my 2019 model, turbo lag is less than half a second during hard acceleration.
