PETROL OR ELECTRIC? 2020 PEUGEOT 2008 VS PEUGEOT E-2008 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot 2008 and its electric counterpart, the e-2008, present a daring and modern exterior design, a significant improvement in interior space over the predecessor, and a stylish, modern cockpit, particularly in the GT trim. The reviewer highlights the sporty GT seats as a positive, offering good support. However, for taller individuals, the cockpit can feel somewhat cramped, and visibility can be an issue due to the i-Cockpit and small steering wheel. The driving experience is described as fun and agile, with both the petrol and electric versions offering enjoyable dynamics, though the e-2008 provides a silent and effortless drive. The official range for the e-2008 is stated as 320 km (200 miles), with charging up to 11kW AC and 100kW DC. The reviewer notes a price difference of around €8,000 between the top-tier petrol GT and the e-2008 GT, which can be offset by subsidies and tax benefits. Ultimately, the choice between petrol and electric depends on charging infrastructure availability and typical driving distances, with the e-2008 being ideal for shorter trips with charging access.
