A backroome complained that the system would not allow him to compose in Word then paste into The Backroom, so I'm trying it here:

Back in 2009 the Peugeot 3008 was my surprise car of the year.

You can read that test here: Peugeot 3008 Road Test.

But now we’ve moved on a bit, and Peugeot has made the 3008 its first hybrid.

The company looked at the technology of other hybrids, and sought to simplify it.

So instead of a two-part front electric motor and alternator the 3008 hybrid4 4 has simply a big in-line alternator.

Instead of a petrol engine, it has a diesel engine, on the logical grounds that diesel engines are around 30% more efficient.

Instead of a CVT automatic transmission it has Peugeot’s EGC automated manual 6-speed.

Seems to work.
