The e-2008 GT is a beautifully designed SUV. Both inside and out it shows true French flair.

I di like the front Sabre Tooth tiger lighting design and the compact muscular profile.

Inside the seats are particularly comfortable. The small thick steering wheel that sits below the dash is different and once you get used to it, works extremely well.

Typically, the Peugeot is advanced with its 3D digital dash, and the central screen that can be adapted to individual drivers.

At the heart of the e-2008 GT is a 50 kilowatt hour lithium ion battery. This is good for a realistic range of about 300km. Its smooth, responsive and sporty to drive.

My daily drive is about 50km so that works out ok. However, the Peugeot doesn’t come with a type 2 charging cable so it’s off to the charging station when you need to and spend the time sitting there.

Buyers can opt for a 10-amp charger plug for an extra cost of that is how they want to charge. I prefer to charge overnight at home.

I can see this vehicle suiting someone that has low city kilometres to do daily and has access to convenient charging stations while at work.

The Peugeot e-2008GT is priced from  a bit under $60,000 plus the usual costs.

The post Peugeot e-2008 GT SUV 2024 Review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

The 2008 is a beautifully designed, smaller SUV with typical French flair both inside and out. Its packed with luxury, comfort and safety features.

At the heart of the e-2008 is a 50 kWh lithium ion battery pack. This provides power of 100kW and torque of 260Nm.

The e-2008 has a relatively small capacity and that reflects in a WLTP range of only 328km. Range is obviously a subjective thing. It differs with driving styles and road conditions.

It also depends on perspective. If you only drive 50km a day and charge the car every few days, then its sufficient. If you want to do a longer drive of 600 or 700km then its problematic.

One good thing about the e-2008 is that PEUGEOT states that you can fast charge the battery all the time with no degradation. Many other brands don’t recommend that.

Driving the e-2008 was pleasant and engaging, on a drive through city traffic to Akuna Bay the national park.

Its relatively light weight, and with the weight down low the ride and handling were crisp and responsive. Electric cars provide instant torque and that also makes for a sporty drive.

One thing I liked was that PEUGEOT are offering a five year discounted service plan of only $1000. That’s an awesome deal and a reminder that electric cars still need regular servicing.

Peugeot e-2008  Final thoughts

Peugeot build quality and interesting cars.

The 2008 is an elegant, stylish and slightly quirky smaller SUV.

The electric version e-2008 brings an all electric choice for buyers.

Ideal as a city runaround. Its relatively light for an EV and while it has a smaller battery capacity and range, the ability to fast charge every time without battery damage is a bonus.

The range may be an issue, but range is subjective. People will buy the Peugeot for its looks, style and quality and the range is accepted.

The fixed and pre paid service deal is also a bonus.

If you have to go EV this is a good way to go. Peugeot is for buyers that want something just a little different.
