Paul this is such an embarrassing review. You really need to educate yourself on the Peugeot brand. Peugeot started off as a brand by making fun powerful cars, and then they went to making the boring cars as we know. For you to say Peugeot have never made high performance or fun cars is embarrassing
He doesn't like cars, he has no idea about them. He just likes the lifestyle associated to expensive cars.
@@Maartwo What do you espect,guy is wearing mercedes logo on his hat hehe
Classic guy,who buys cars because he cares obout what someone else thinks,or good for bit,his neibghor telling him,what why not german car in the yard hahahahahah
I drive a Peugeot rcz,and if it is good loking car,i will drive it,i dont care if is a lamborgini or ferrari,if it is not good loking car for me it isnt,i dont care for the brand name,all of them have problems,but few of them are talking obout that,and i dotnt care about supericial people opinion,im am doing what i like and love,and i will drive that.
Completely agree with you. What a farce this review.
he is total idiot
Hmmm 106 GTI, 205 GTI, 206 GTI and 306 GTI.... I think were aimed at petrol heads.

Peugeot’s back catalogue is full of cars for petrol heads.
that statement had me questioning if he's a petrol head
Don't know your Pug's...study up on them my friend
He clearly dosnt know his stuff
Plug IT in Every Day and than tell us the mpg. That Will give the right picture. Why choose a plug in and dont plug IT in
He never chose sod all, its a press car loaner.
Most people don’t actually plug these in, they pick a plug in hybrid due to the lower BIK tax.
This is a foot in the right direction! My neighbour has the 208 GT and it looks incredible from the inside and out. Can’t wait for Peugeot to make more of these incredible machines.
Paul, the steering wheel doesn’t block the view if you set it correctly. It’s smaller so that the bottom is where you’re used to have the bottom of any steering wheel, so the top is lower and you can see the dash.
It maies you drive with your hands lower than usual but you get used to it and in most cases it becomes much more exciting and hard to come back to any other car. They suddenly feel like driving a big truck
The fact he actually thought the car was doing 7mpg says it all. Not a chance.
There is just no way lol
He is reading the display wrong it’s in two parts
@@darrenwheeler3427 Another Peugeot design flaw
205 GTI was THE petrol heads car for a decade.
...and still lives on now, well beyond its halcyon days, as any proper petrol head car should!
Have had this for 8 months now.. the mpg figures are untrue.. yes the media screen calculates something else (battery/engine) - same goes for other hybrid peugeots. but push the right stalk button in for the real mpg from the petrol engine, or use the app to see the actual mpg and it certainly ain't 8mpg. More like 40-50mpg without a charge.
Come on there's no way that was doing 3 to 7mpg!!
He was stepping on it like a total ape to get that tho, when you drive around like veryone the car will achieve much better mpg
Yeah there is now way... this does over 20 mpg even when you're flooring it everywhere
Guess he's not driven a 308 gti which are absolute weapons
As an RCZ owner I politely disagree with the opening sentence ;-)
You seem to be the only one who is confuse and bizarre about the car
You don't have a Plug in Hybrid and don't Plug it in. Hybrid mode is the best mode for the car. I think you needed a proper handover of the car when you got it.
An 11 Kwh battery should be able to work without plugging it.
You were talking nonsense SOL
Hot Peugeot 205 gti before you were born young lad
Mate just learn how to drive hybrid. You need to learn how to drive it to get proper fuel economy. If you don't know how to do it then don't spread false information about its MPG.
Paul, I missing the Lambo content, the Porsche, McLaren.... Monaco trips, meetings, challenges....
Gone broke, now only paid content by brends.
He annouced on IG that for now on only paid content because his family lost lots of money during pandemic, like this advertising video. I'm unsubscribing right now.
Cringeeeee, you flip-flap subscribers no one wants anyway!
@@laureane5454 when was it? insta story?
@@laureane5454 Thats very sad. With content like this he just putting nails in this channels coffin...
Supercars of London = Peugeot’s and a Ducati motorcycle you can’t ride. Can’t you see where you’re going wrong 🥲
It's not even his Peugeot... another hire car. He doesn't know of the 1990s 205GTi and other great cars in Peugeot's line up.
I have had Peugeots as my daily driver for the past few years. I have had a 308 and now a 2008 and they do the job. Get in, switch off the stop start, and you are good to go! Late for that meeting; click on that sport button!
AverageCars of Watford is back, but seriously £55k? Imagine what you can get second hand for that , R8s, 911s, GTRs etc
Well yes, but lets be honest running a GTR will cost a shit load more, and they are not in the same category tho
If got my peugot 206 already 22 years and it still drives like new times going fast lol
Big Peugeot = big depreciation. Will be a second hand bargain
Big peugeot...Big depreciation? Look at the values of the new 3008 and 5008 on the used car market and tell me how they're holding their money so well?
Yep probs grab one for less than 20k in a couple of year.
THIS IS F.. RIDICICULUS, POOR ADVERTISING!!!!!
205 GTi 205 Rallye 205 mi16 309 GTi 106 GTi rally 306gti 405 mi16 206gti all hot hatches for petrol heads in our day n I'm only 35 lol so to say Peugeot only made average a to be cars your wrong they made A to B cars for petrol heads you would think you grew up in late 2000s if you can't remember these classics
First line of his intro has me laughing 😂 knows sweet fuck all
Got 308 gti great car
I'm a child of the '80s and can remember when Peugeot built better cars than Audi.
The Audi 80 & 100 had the worst ride and handling of any car of that era.
How is this living with the PSE? The first part was all about 4 months with the GT. How long did you live with the PSE for?
the review is correct, very small electric radius lerss than 25 km , small engine for a 2 ton car, no economy if you charge via motor and not in the house socket, very expensive , but i ve bought it and now police stops me to ask me what kind of a car is this ? welcome in PEUGEOT SPORT ENGINEERED WORLD, a beautiful car that can go very fast but not practical
It's beautiful. Maybe you can replace the steering wheel to a larger size one? Probably not easily done.
DOES the car have a Heater ,, as it looks cold inside as your always wearing your woolly hat
The 508 pse is a great car that a lot of people should know about
Owned a 69 plate diesel First Edition for less than a year covered approx 25000 miles and then all started going wrong (parking sensors constantly on,coming on for no reason windows not opening or shutting - switch off leave for 10 mins all ok returned to local dealer 3 times always told no fault found. Loved the car but had to sell
7 mpg?? What are u driving in? 2nd gear at 40? The one I'm driving gt line has a average mpg in of 45
There must be something wrong with that car if it's actually doing 3.9mpg, a 1.6l 4cyl can't use that much fuel, surely!
They also need to use the GTI branding which I love on my little 208 GTI PSE!
A Peugeot has always suited you Paul, perhaps a 205?
I think this guy needs to read up about Peugeot. Peugeot are responsible for 3 of the greatest affordable performance cars ever, namely the 205 GTI, 309 GTI and the 306 GTI-6. You could even add in the underrated 405 Mi-16 to the mix too.
I remember I saw my 1st 508 on the road, I thought 🤔 nice, then I saw the Peugeot logo and I thought, wow Peugeot, cool.
5008 3008 208 all nice. I'd have the 508 as an estate. Well done Pug.
7.6mpg is the highest hes seen after 4500 miles in 4 months of driving in a 55k depreciating Peugeot. im sorry but that puts me off the car immediately. How the fuck has paul been driving this supposed hybrid filling up every second.
@@cephasmakuzva you're right
@@cephasmakuzva This is paid advertising on it's lowest point bro.
This are ridiculous points Rob...
@@ivanli7120 I'm talking about Peugeot in general, not this specific model. 👍
The 308 GTi was a petrol head cars but they killed it and now they only have this car. Wich imo to expensive for most petrol heads atleast people that buy peugeots
People have move to plug hybrids because the Benefit in kind tax is a quarter of it diesel equivalent. I also think you maybe need to do some Peugeot history research start with rallying
the car is still be getted on ideal position but PHEV make me nervous.
that's why I remind the exhaust note or power drive will be complicated.
and I worry about stella pure gasoline engine tech gets where?
No thanks
I had a 207 diesel and loved it very economical now i have the 308sw it has lots of space great if you have kids and the 3cyl turbo 100hp is very fuel efficient as well
I'm quite happy in the dinasour era.
In US gallons, that has an 11.4 gallon tank. If you have 3/4 of a tank left, you have 8.55 gallons. If you have 211 miles of range, you’re averaging somewhere around 24.6 mpg. So yeah…
And I’m assuming that is under very harsh driving conditions. Should be averaging more than that in normal conditions.
i will keep my Rcz love it. real driving. manual gearbox. firm and makes a good noise. brakes are nuts handles brilliantly and still looks great. i used to get the should of bought an Audi, but i loved the fact i had a rare. car that people didnt know what it was. and everyone who has been in it was always pleasantly surprised. and it always even today gets admiring looks as people see it on the motorway or parked up. something must be up with the mpg thing? get 33mpg average with some spanking it but did south east to northwales and back and got 43mpg and 420miles to a tank. so yes even though the rcz is about 400kg lighter but still that nuts
I hope this model doesn't have all the problems that the Peugeot 508 has especially after shedding out 55k ..... Paint issues being one of the main issues as peugoet only puts two coats of colour on new vehicles which causes extreme stone chip damages. Secondly out of line panels from front to the rear of the 508 doors out of line, bonnet & front top panel & wings all out of line. Their has also been cracking of the roof panel. I've 4k worth of paint damages on my 508 First Edition sadly after being lied to by peugeot Truscotts Exeter they failed to tell me of the paint damages on the vehicle after making purchase of the vehicle under distance selling due to Covid. I purchased the vehicle online, then to have Truscotts keep demanding that I just reject the vehicle, WHY should I reject the vehicle after it had taken me over Eight months to locate this spec vehicle, as there is only 22 First Edition SW in the UK. So why should I be forced to reject the car of my dreams. Peugeot UK are a disgrace to the car market for not addressing the issues I've incurred.
does not charging the PSE effect the performance. will you lose power?
I have the e2008 with same design flaw with steering wheel.There is a reason why the forums are full of complaints about this and why all reviewers warn in there reviews about it. Cannot take Peugeot seriously until they stop ignoring customer feedback and change this ridiculous situation with the steering wheel and their icockpit. Luckily mine is lease and i will be changing shortly, not to another Peugeot thankfully.
Before deploying the new steering wheel design, they did get a sizable number of clients to test, taught them how to adjust so as to get the best out of it and let them live with it. It is feedback from the clients that persuaded them to implement the technology, too bad it didnt work for you.
I don’t think I could bring myself to spend £55k on a Peugeot.
Totally agree 👍
You must be too young to remember the Peugeot's of the 90s....
If the battery is empty, would it still be 4WD or just FWD?
Front wheel drive the 4wd is only active when you put the car in 4wd and the electric motors are running if the battery is flat or needs charging then its front wheel drive
the battery is never empty on a PHEV. The electronics activate the On Board Generator that uses some fuel to generate some electricity. You generally have at least 1.5 kWh in the battery that is used to give you full power even if the car was never recharged in its life. With this 508 PHEV, you have 4WD even if the car was never recharged in its life.
You sure hide 200kg well
They should do a Honda E equivalent bring back the classic 205gti as an retro electric.
Don't lie mate... this does 50mpg all day even with sporty driving 😂
Peugeot haven’t made a car for petrol heads since this? Have you been in a 308 GTI (2015-2020). Lowish power with 250-270 but damn they’re fun cars!!
You should get Astons
Do they make body kits for these?
I can't help but laugh every time Paul says "key-low-grams".
1 kilo = key-low
100 kilos = key-lows
But 100 kilograms = killa-grams not key-low-grams
the onboard computer is broken 9:19.
3.9 mpgUK (72 L/100 km) is impossible with a 1.6 engine. 100 miles/kWh is impossible for any electric vehicle.
on a sporty but legal drive you can expect 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) with this 508's configuration.
PHEVs are so economical that is hard to go worse than 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) for a full tank if you don't live in a mountainous area and obey the speed limits.
doing the school runs plus holidays for a year, you can even expect a yearly average of 71 mpgUK (3.95 L/100 km + 16 kWh/100 km). That's my average with my PHEV (different brand with a slightly smaller battery).
a similarly powered car (RS3, AMG GLA 45) will consider a 35 mpgUK (8 L/100 km) an utopia if you go on a sporty drive. 23 mpgUK (12 L/100 km) or even 17 mpgUK (16 L/100 km) are figures that I heard for an AMG GLA 45 387 hp. And they can't carry this much luggage.
What's the tune used as from 3:14 please? So i can hopefully get it from Epidemic Sound,thank you...
Driving a Peugeot and wearing a Mercedes-Benz Cap....lol
What about the 205 gti 106 gti 106 rallye the RCz r and the 206 gti those where the petrol heads icons
Got a 5008 gt. Pretty neat.
I’ll safely say I came to this review looking for a more down to earth “non car review site” based opinion and to be honest I thought in parts this was a pretty shocking overview. The MPG figures just don’t lay in reality and that’s not hard to have worked out and relayed that to your viewers, lack of knowledge of the companies back catalogue of cars (would have been more relevant if you said it was a return to form than they haven’t produced quick or driver focussed cars in the past) and completely wide of the mark on the talking points of PHEVs, their benefits and flaws. So Essentially I’m non the wiser on if this car is a viable option for me than before I watched
3.9 mpg for a 1.6L... Hmmm I think it's a display mistake !
Yeah to be fair this is a Peugeot issue with wrong display, on such an expensive model for Peugeot to get the basics wrong will put a few off buying for sure.
It would make more sense to wear may be a Jumper , or long sleeve shirt rather than wear a woolly hat all the time
Nobody is ever paying 50k for this thing
Stunning looks though
7 mpg?? Wtf!
It should be a rule that if you CAN'T pronounce Peugeot, you shouldn't be allowed to own one.
wow amazing gt car model. I am not a knowledgeable about cars but I do love sport cars. hoping that someday I would be able to ride a sport car
I like the benceo_L
Really stunning car but
all that 55K to be dusted by any performance hatchbacks
My 4 year old BMW diesel is faster than this. I can't believe they are asking for £55k....that price point is bordering on taking the piss.
Peugeot + Residential prices in 3 years time. Hmmmm.
dam aint been subscribed in years... channel has died O.o
That fitment is a crime, why do manufacturers keep putting wheels that are obviously not wide enough on cars... It makes them look that much worse

The steer wheel is perfect for FRENCH people there really short so they can look under the steering wheel
What do you mean by really short? The average size for men in France is 179 cm. It's roughly the same size than those of the men in the UK and Germany. I'm 188 cm tall, and I have no problem to read over the steering wheel on the 2008 and 3008 of my uncles, or in one of the 208 we have in my company.
@@Soussmeboules I dumped this straight in google heres the answer TOP answer
Are French people tall or short? ... French people are quite short I would say. The average male is 174 cm google tells me, and the average female is about 162. That means you would be a bit tall for a girl, but nothing out of the ordinary.
@@Soussmeboules 4 Jan 2016 - When visiting Paris a few years back I heard that the French are the shortest set of people in Europe and this can be traced back to Napoleon and … ,, """"heres the facts sorry ""
@@markthoughtswithukrainemas2072
Well I am french so I know well my country. The guy who told you back then in Paris that french are the shortest people in Europe told you bullshit.
I live in Germany whose people have the reputation to be tall, and I don't really feel much difference between the 2 countries. The one who are really taller than the rest in Europe are the Dutch (who are the tallest in the world) and some countries of eastern Europe especially former Yugoslavia (Croatians, Serbians, Bosnians, Slovenians..) or Baltic ones.
Even inside France people from north or north east France are fairly taller than the south or Parisian ones. This is the same in Germany, people from Hamburg are fairly taller in average than Bavarian one.
Your sources may be a bit old. 174 cm was the average size in the 90's (including old peoples). Most countries provide the heights of young adults (usually 20 years old, 20-29 or 18-39 years old) which is maybe more accurate because around 60 y.o. people starts to get smaller. In France you have several statistics. 175.6 cm stands for 18-74 years (statistic of 2003 done on 96% of the population).
For 18-29 years old men, so the core target, it was measured 177,0 cm in 2001, 177.8 cm in 2007, and 179,7 cm in 2014.

This car is too slow for its power lets face it.
Engine is too small for a heavy car , when you have no battery left it will be so under powered . Most hybrid cars are a tax dodge
That's not how it works. You always have 355bhp.

@@sv-rh4dz I don't know how it manages it but it does. Maybe because if you add up all the power totals from the elec motors and engine you get over 400bhp but it only gives you 355 so there's power left doing something else.
