NEW PEUGEOT 3008 REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The new Peugeot e-3008 is presented as a significant improvement over its predecessors, boasting a striking exterior design and a futuristic, high-quality interior that the reviewer finds impressive. The cabin features a large, integrated screen and soft-touch materials, though some lower plastics are noted as less premium. Practicality is generally good, with clever storage solutions, but rear passenger space, particularly footwell depth due to the battery, is a drawback compared to rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5. The boot offers decent space and functionality. On the road, the e-3008 is praised for its comfort and compliant suspension, effectively smoothing out urban bumps. However, the reviewer highlights several annoyances: a lack of rear wiper, distracting reflective trim, limited rear window drop, and particularly the brakes' long travel and grabby feel. The electric version's weight (2.1 tons) impacts handling, making it feel less sharp than the petrol variant, and its 0-60 mph time of 8.4 seconds is considered adequate rather than exciting for an EV. Real-world range is estimated at around 260 miles from a 73kWh battery, falling short of the claimed 330 miles. Despite its flaws, including a high price point, the reviewer concludes the e-3008 is a comfortable, good-looking, and generally pleasant car worth shortlisting.
