I am currently driving the beautifully designed 3008 GT Premium Hybrid.

This is a car that has had many people stop me and chat about it. Mostly about the exterior styling, but when they look inside, they have many questions as its different and appealing.

Priced from a stunning $64,990 plus the usual costs it comes with unmatched combination of innovative hybrid technology, premium comfort, and advanced safety features.

This is thousands, if not tens of thousands of dollars less than other premium European models.

I love the flat bottom and top steering wheel. Also, the new 21-inch curved, digital drivers screen that blend seamlessly with the central screen is class leading.

Little features like heated and massage front seats, wireless charging tray and abundant storage all add up to premium ambience.

Driving the 3008 GT Premium Hybrid is easy. Its smooth, quiet, and responsive. It will happily potter around town, yet cruise effortlessly on the motorway. So far, my economy is around 6.0l/100k and that’s fantastic.

The Peugeot ticks a lot of boxes. Class leading technology, comfortable premium interior ambience, excellent economy all wrapped up in an exquisite design.

The e-Partner is Priced at $59,990 plus the usual costs. It is offered in a single, long wheelbase variant.

Powered by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery, the e-Partner produces 100kW of power and 260Nm of torque and delivers a WLTP test range of 258km².

Now this might seem like much, but the e-Partner is ideal for localised businesses like a florist, catering business, take-away food, parcel or smaller whitegoods delivery etc.

Small businesses that have an ability for back to base deliveries, and access to charging facilities will greatly benefit from the smart new van.

We drove the Peugeot on the launch on a city and suburban loop. It was quiet, smooth, and responsive. I got stuck in that afternoon Sydney traffic, however the e-Partner took it all in its stride.

The e-Partner is built on Peugeot’s e-MP2 platform. This rides and handles more like a SUV than a van. One clever feature is that the battery is under the floor and doesn’t restrict the cargo space at all.

I must admit I wasn’t sure what to expect before I drove the new Peugeot, but now it all just makes really good sense.

The post Best of 2023 – Peugeot e-partner delivery van review appeared first on Motoring Minute.

This was for a wedding for a friend, so it was a weekend of wineries and festivities. The 3008 GT Sport fitted right in.

Peugeot design beautiful cars and the 3008 is one of them. It seems to get the proportions right for a mid-sized SUV. We had a few people comment on how good it looked on the weekend.

Inside its comfort all the way. The seats seem to cocoon you and you immediately relax onto them. The driver’s seat has electronic adjustment and a massage function.

I do like the sport steering wheel with its flat bottom and top design. It sits below the driver instrument, something Peugeot calls their iCockpit. It’s different and when you get used to it quite practical.

There was plenty of room for our luggage for the trip and the 3008 made us feel relaxed after driving over the weekend.

It is powered by a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder petrol engine and drives the front wheels through an 8 Speed automatic transmission.  Around town its zippy enough and on the freeway, it cruises with ease and has excellent economy.

The Peugeot 3008 GT Sport is priced from a little over $63,000 dollars plus the usual costs and is for buyers that want to stand apart from the usual SUV models.

The post Peugeot 3008 GT Sport 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.
