Road Test: The All-New Peugeot E-3008 – A Stylish and Green Electric SUV

The Peugeot 3008 has come a long way since its inception in 2007. What was once a dumpy looking MPV has now transformed into one of the most stylish and distinctive mid-sized SUVs on the market. The latest third-generation Peugeot 3008 is greener than ever, with the introduction of the pure electric E-3008.

The E-3008 is the first model to use Stellantis’ new STLA Medium electric powertrain, offering a choice of mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric versions. The entry-level E-3008 comes with a 73kWh battery, providing a claimed 326-mile range. For those looking for even more range, a 98kWh Long Range version with an impressive 422-mile range will be available in 2025.

The design of the new E-3008 is striking, with a bold front end featuring slim LED headlamps and a sporty, sloping roofline. Inside, the “Panoramic i-Cockpit” features a floating, curved 21-inch HD screen that combines the head-up display with the central touchscreen. While the driving position may still be a bit quirky for taller drivers, the infotainment system is a huge improvement from the previous model.

On the road, the E-3008 delivers a swift performance with 213bhp and 253lb ft of torque. It can accelerate from 0-62mph in 8.8 seconds and has a top speed of 105mph. Charging speeds of up to 160kW allow for quick charging times, making it convenient for urban driving.

While the E-3008 may not be the most engaging electric SUV to drive, it offers a comfortable and refined driving experience. With three levels of regenerative braking and an efficiency of around 3.5 miles per kWh, the E-3008 is a practical choice for families looking for a stylish and eco-friendly SUV.

Overall, the Peugeot E-3008 is a classy and refined family-sized SUV with ample kerb appeal. If you’re in the market for a well-equipped electric SUV, the E-3008 could be the perfect choice for you.
