1.2L PureTech Hybrid (EB2DT)
Petrol Hybrid
Execute low-speed crawls and stop-start transitions in traffic. | Note: The e-DCS6 dual-clutch transmission can occasionally exhibit jerkiness or hesitation when deciding between electric and petrol propulsion.
Monitor the brake pedal feel during 'light' vs 'firm' deceleration. | Note: The transition from regenerative braking to physical friction braking can feel inconsistent or 'grabby' compared to non-hybrid models.
Operate all i-Cockpit digital functions and the central touchscreen simultaneously. | Note: Software lag can occur in the Peugeot i-Connect system; ensure the latest firmware is installed to prevent random restarts.
Listen for excessive vibration through the steering wheel at idle. | Note: While refined, the 1.2L 3-cylinder configuration can develop noticeable NVH if engine mounts begin to soften prematurely.
Initial major service: full synthetic oil change (B71 2010 spec), cabin filter replacement, and hybrid system diagnostic health check.
Spark plug replacement and brake fluid flush. Critical inspection of the timing chain (which replaced the wet-belt in this hybrid generation).
Cooling system deep flush, accessory drive belt replacement, and comprehensive suspension bushing inspection for NZ road wear.
Strict adherence to PSA B71 2010 (0W-20) oil specifications to protect engine internals.
Regular software updates for the e-DCS6 transmission control unit to optimize shift logic.
Monitoring of the 12V auxiliary battery, as failure causes catastrophic hybrid system errors.
Checking the high-voltage cooling circuit levels to ensure battery thermal management.
Tire rotation every 10,000km due to high instant torque from the electric motor wearing front sets faster.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Higher than Japanese equivalents due to the requirement for specific low-SAPS oils and diagnostic tools.
European SUVs use softer compounds for performance; expect faster wear on NZ's hilly terrain.
Specialist Peugeot labor rates apply for deep-system electrical troubleshooting.
