Peugeot e-2008 Review 2026

June 2019

Peugeot e-2008 revealed

Peugeot has announced its new 2008 crossover will be available as an electric e-2008, capable of covering 193 miles on a charge.

The French manufacturer's answer to the Kia e-Niro and Hyundai Kona Electric, the Peugeot e-2008 shares a platform with the DS 3 Crossback, as well as the upcoming Peugeot 208 and new Vauxhall Corsa. It's longer than the old 2008 and only marginally shorter than the bigger 3008.

The interior takes a similar approach to the 3008 and recent 508, meaning there'll be more soft-touch materials than before and a host of tech. There's Peugeot's i-Cockpit technology, featuring a small steering wheel and a new head-up display.

The e-2008 will feature a 136PS electric motor and 50kWh battery, capable of returning 193 miles of range under real-world WLTP testing. Capable of supporting 100kW rapid charging, the e-2008 can be charged to 80 per cent in around 30 minutes, while a full charge using a conventional 7.4kW home wallbox will take eight hours.

Prices are expected to start at around £25,000 in a bid to undercut electric rivals.

Peugeot e-2008 updated with longer range

Peugeot has improved the driving range of the e-2008 with additional efficiency technology.

The latest technological developments from the start of 2022 on the fully electric e-2008 will see the driving range increase to 214 miles, according to the WLTP (Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedures) homologation cycle.

To achieve the increase, all 17-inch tyres fitted to the e-2008 will be upgraded to 'A+' class, providing greater efficiency thanks to lower rolling resistance. In addition, a mechanical development with a new gearbox ratio will optimise the range on road and motorway journeys. Lastly, a new heat pump, coupled with an interior humidity sensor installed at the top of the windscreen, will optimise the energy efficiency of the heating and air conditioning. The information communicated by this sensor controls the air recirculation in the passenger compartment more accurately, ultimately protecting the amount of energy contained in the battery when heating and maintaining the temperature inside the vehicle. This feature is particularly noticeable at low outside temperatures.

Following customer feedback, Peugeot has also streamlined the trim levels available across the 2008 range. The Peugeot e-2008 will now be available in Active Premium, Allure Premium, GT, and GT Premium trim options, with Allure trim no longer available due to customer preferences for higher vehicle specification levels.

Peugeot has introduced subtle styling changes both on the interior and exterior across e-2008 models. New ‘Black Diamond’ door mirror covers, finished in Nera Black Metallic paint, are now standard across Active Premium and Allure Premium models – having previously been accessible only for GT and GT Premium customers. New A+ rated tyres are now also included as standard on Allure Premium and GT variants. All e-2008 GT Premium models can now be had with ‘Mistral’ Black Alcantara ® , which replaces the ‘Greval Grey’ Alcantara ® seats.

The Peugeot e-2008 continues to be powered by a 50kWh battery and a 100kW electric motor for 2022 and is now capable of up to 214 miles from a single charge. With zero tailpipe emissions, the e-2008 achieves a 0% BIK rate, making it ideal for fleets and business users. Supporting up to 100kW rapid charging, a 0-80% charge can be completed in just 30 minutes.

Peugeot e-2008 range update

Peugeot has announced model year updates for the 2008 and e-2008, with an evolved trim line-up that brings enhanced equipment and exterior styling changes. There are no price changes on either trim level relating to their enhanced specification. Orders are open now.

The entry level 2008 trim will evolve to Active Premium +, which now features gloss black roof rails and dark tinted rear and rear side windows, complementing the gloss black strip at the rear of the car and enhancing the 2008’s alluring design.

Allure Premium models shift to Allure Premium +, which will benefit from subtle design changes for an even more striking look, with the pedals now finished in aluminium. Allure Premium + variants also gain Connected 3D Navigation, which includes a three-year subscription to Connected Navigation Pack services which includes speed camera alerts and real-time traffic updates for more convenient journeys. Previously only available as standard on GT trim and above, the Connected 3D Navigation system includes European mapping, 3D city mapping and voice recognition for radio, navigation and telephone functions.
