Peugeot e-2008 2020 UK review

Опубликованно 23.08.2020 18:00

What is it?

EVs are coming thick and fast now, and Peugeot is making its mark, first launching the e-208 and now its larger sibling, the e-2008.  

This is the latest in a handful of similar-size models to capitalise on two trends: SUVs and electrification, appealing to those who like SUV styling but are also most suited to an EV: low-mileage urban drivers.   What's it like?

The obvious question is range. This car officially has 206 miles on WLTP, significantly less than the 292 miles offered by the Kona. That’s more than enough for most people’s lives, but whether the reassurance of grander numbers is enough to sway buyers is another matter. On a 75-mile stretch of our test that included town, motorway and country roads, the predicted range dropped by 99 miles – admittedly with air-con at full pelt.   Should I buy one?

For a compact SUV-seeker with a fancy for going electric, the e-2008 will make a strong case. Deliberately similar in feel to its petrol and diesel siblings, it will ensure an effortless first step across the divide.
