LONG TERM REVIEW: PEUGEOT E-3008. BIG RANGE OR SHORT CHANGED?

EV Channels Review

After a six-month loan, the reviewer finds the Peugeot e-3008 GT to be a visually striking and comfortable SUV with a premium interior that belies its brand. The reviewer highlights the car's head-turning design, spacious and airy cabin, and surprisingly functional features like the powered tailgate and the hidden cold storage compartment. However, the driving experience is tempered by a lack of steering weight and noticeable body roll due to the car's significant 2.1-ton weight. The most significant criticism is directed at the real-world range, which falls considerably short of the claimed 326 miles WLTP. While the reviewer achieved around 260 miles in warmer conditions (3.6 miles/kWh), winter performance dropped drastically to an estimated 200 miles, a loss of 29-30% compared to the average EV's 21%. The optional heat pump is deemed not worth the £700 cost due to its minimal impact. Despite these range concerns, the reviewer concludes that if approached with the expectation of a 250-mile range, the e-3008 is a highly livable and enjoyable car, particularly for those who appreciate its unique styling and interior appointments.
