2020 PEUGEOT E2008 REVIEW - AN INNOVATIVE ELECTRIC COMPACT SUV

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot e-2008 is presented as an innovative electric compact SUV, distinguishing itself with a striking design featuring a large front bumper and "lion tooth" accents, though it may not appeal to those seeking subtlety. Inside, the cabin is a highlight, boasting Peugeot's unique 3D i-Cockpit with customizable digital displays and a carbon-effect trim on the GT Line model. The reviewer praises the comfortable, high-quality seats with yellow stitching, though notes the manual adjustment on the GT Line is a minor disappointment. Practicality is strong, with ample boot space (larger than a Ford Puma with seats down) and convenient storage solutions, including a false floor for charging cables and wireless charging with a phone prop. However, the rear seating might be tight for three adults due to the sloping roofline. On the road, the e-2008 handles its 300kg weight well thanks to adapted suspension, feeling light and comfortable. The real-world range is estimated at around 150 miles, falling short of the claimed 190 miles, with charging taking approximately 8 hours from a home wall box or 45 minutes from a 50kW public charger. The reviewer notes the regenerative braking isn't as prominent as in the e-Corsa. Overall, the e-2008 is commended for its thoughtful extras that enhance daily usability and its competitive pricing against rivals, despite a slightly less potent regenerative braking system and a real-world range that requires careful management.
