Even though Peugeot is busy developing the i-Cockpit interior for next-gen models such as the 3008 crossover, the French automaker found the time to set things straight regarding real-world fuel economy figures. After the Peugeot 308, Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, and the DS 3 were put to the test, the Peugeot 2008 takes the stage this time around.
As reported by Autocar, the 2016 Peugeot 2008 subcompact crossover drinks more fuel in real-world conditions than it does in a controlled test environment. No surprises here, to be honest.
The NGO Transport & Environment protocol used by Peugeot for real-world fuel economy testing employs a 59.7-mile (96 km) course that is made up of urban, country and motorway routes. What's more, Peugeot ups the ante with things such as the use of air conditioning, gradients, passengers, and luggage.
As if that weren’t real-world enough, the protocol uses “a selection of professional and amateur drivers, not directly employed by Peugeot, to ensure the results are as accurate as possible.” That's a sound approach to consumer transparency. The next series of real-world fuel economy figures will be released in July.
Without further ado, here are the figures for two versions of the 1.2-liter PureTech petrol engine and two versions of the 1.6-liter BlueHDI diesel engine available for the recently facelifted crossover from Peugeot:
Model and Powertrain NEDC test cycle NGO Transport & Environment protocol
Peugeot 2008 1.6 BlueHDI 120 76 imperial mpg 54.3 imperial mpg
Peugeot 2008 1.6 BlueHDI 100 76 imperial mpg 54.4 imperial mpg
Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 130 59 imperial mpg 39.8 imperial mpg
Peugeot 2008 1.2 PureTech 82 58 imperial mpg 44.8 imperial mpg
In U.S. miles per gallon, that’ll be:
63.2 versus 45.2 mpg for the BlueHDI 120
63.2 versus 45.3 mpg for the BlueHDI 100
63.3 versus 45.3 mpg for the PureTech 130
48.3 versus 37.3 mpg for the PureTech 82
In liters per 100 kilometers, the conversion is as follows:
3.7 versus 5.2 l/100 km for the BlueHDI 120
3.7 versus 5.2 l/100 km for the BlueHDI 100
4.8 versus 7 l/100 km for the PureTech 130
4.9 versus 6.3 l/100 km for the PureTech 82
