PEUGEOT E2008 - HOW DOES IT COMPARE TO OTHER COMPACT SUVS?

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot e-2008 GT Line is presented as a stylish and comfortable compact SUV, with the reviewer acknowledging its pleasant aesthetics and easy driving dynamics. The interior is praised for its solid build quality and comfortable seating. However, the vehicle falls short in crucial areas for an EV. The real-world range is a significant disappointment, falling well below expectations for its 45kWh battery, with figures as low as 98 miles reported on a full charge in some instances, and a more plausible but still underwhelming 130 miles in others. Peculiar software quirks, such as the range indicator remaining static for extended periods, and the baffling absence of a trip meter, further detract from the user experience. While the performance is competent and the boot space is generous, the lack of a reversing camera and the distracting interior ambient lighting are noted as drawbacks. Ultimately, the e-2008 is seen as a transitional vehicle, a decent effort from a legacy automaker, but hampered by a 'fossil fuel mentality hangover' and a range that is just on the cusp of being a genuine inconvenience.
