Smart looking both inside and out, well-made and great to drive, the Peugeot e-2008 is more practical than a small hatch and more affordable than a bigger SUV.

Ginny Says

“I really like the e2008. It bridges the between a small hatchback and a big SUV, making it a practical family electric car. It may not have the longest range, but it's pretty efficient for this type of car too.”

Nicki Says

“I really like the way modern Peugeots look, inside and out. It's distinctive and stylish although I really like the look of the e-2008's sister car the Vauxhall Mokka too. Both have a decent range and performance while the 100kW charging means longer journeys needn't be a chore.”

​The e-2008 is smooth and simple to drive, while firm suspension and a small steering wheel add a sporty feel.

Performance

There are three modes to change the way the e-2008 drives. Eco ekes out as much range as possible with the most noticeable change being the throttle pedal’s limited responsiveness, while Sport sharpens up the feel. In Sport mode you’ll also be able to reach the e-2008’s top speed of 93mph, not that you’d need to travel at that speed, though unless you are on an Autobahn and don't need to save the range. 

Normal is the default mode and it’s the everyday setting proving a good balance between range preservation and quick acceleration. The e-2008 doesn’t deliver neck-snapping performance even in Sport mode, but it’s nicely quick and smooth up to 60mph. On motorways the e-2008’s motor does lose some of its oomph and it’s clear the e-2008 is quickest around town and zipping through traffic, but that’s the same for most small electric SUVs.   

Drive

If you haven’t driven a Peugeot for a few years, the e-2008 will really impress. It’s very smooth and it feels solidly made with no rattles even on the harshest of roads – something you couldn’t say about old Peugeots. But not only that, the e-2008 is pretty good fun to drive – something which most of its rivals fail to pull off. 

The steering is a little on the light side, but it’s quick and the small steering wheel gives the car a really agile feel. The ride has a good balance between comfort and sport – it’s not as soft as you might expect a Peugeot to feel as there’s a firm edge to the suspension, but it’s never uncomfortable and makes the car feel a little more tied down to the road compared with a Kia e-Niro. The e-2008 covers all bases really well.
