Peugeot reveals 3008 crossover

Peugeot has released the first images for the 3008 crossover SUV, revealing few changes from the Prologue Hybrid 4 concept seen at the 2008 Paris motor show.

In a surprise move, Peugeot says the production 3008 will be available as a four-wheel drive hybrid, likely to hit the streets in 2011 powered by a combustion engine driving the front wheels and an electric motoring driving the rear.
