Hybrid Diesel - its about time
I know its Peugeot and the last thing we remember seeing from that car company in North America were some pretty crummy vehicles that stopped being shipped here 1991, but they seem to have a great idea with a hybrid turbo diesel on tap for sale in Europe next year. The car purports to get somewhere between 62-74 mpg.

Ford Escape Hybrid! It gets a whopping 29 MPG. Or Chevy Malibu Hybrid, the same. Or the Chevy Silverado Hybrid pickup truck, that gets 21 MPG (even though the same non-hybrid truck with "fuel miser" gets 20.)
ReplyDeleteThe Ford Escape Hybrid seats 5 and can tow 1000 lbs.
ReplyDeleteThe Silverado seats up to 6 and can 6k, but my RX300 can still seat 5 and tow 3500 lbs. and averages 23mpg from a 3l V6. I'm hoping to roll our two cars we have into one and Diesel Hybrid is something I've been harping on for a while. How about 50mpg, hi-torque, turbo pickup in a 7 seater with 5000lbs of towing? There has to be a North American market for that, there is in the rest of the world, but Dino-Detroit execs still keep bleating "Americans don't buy diesels" to which I ask, what are Cummins engines?
Funny enough I saw a post in Car&Driver yesterday that some dude's "dream car" was the new Chevy 3500 Van with the diesel engine option for a lot of the same reasons.
