Some of us just want a car to drive from point A to point B
It looks pretty good to me and it does not deserve the bashing it receives about weight and range. I would definitely shortlist it if I were in the market.
I think its gonna be a tough sell unless they cut the price, scenic offers more space and is cheaper. Theres a reason scenic won car of the year over the peugeot.
Maybe but I am a bit doubtful still about Scenic in terms of efficiency as Ariya was not particularly good in that aspect. Two great cars from the French really.
@@Vilmir some good points. But tbh before the 3008 I would not have considered any other EV than the Model Y as a family car for my use… yeah the EV5 will come but lets see about prices, kia has placed themselves quite expensive in the past.
Really like to see the Stellantis range updating their battery and range options. I currently have a Citroën E-C4 and I would love to have a little more range and a little more space. No real need for 400 miles, but my current 220 is just a bit small.

French people don’t have coffee (or pretty much any food and drink) out and about. They have it in a café or a restaurant; in France you have food and drink at a table. Cup holders are therefore culturally virtually insignificant in France. And one could say that that’s not taking into account the fact that the car will be sold in lots of countries where that’s not the case, where cup holders would be useful, but then that wouldn’t be very French either!
When I first saw this Peugeot I was very excited, and looked forward to see more info and test drive on it. But.... Then I saw Renault Scenic Electric..... And I must say the Renault is much better looking car, cheaper, more roomy and the most important one... it has google system. I think Renault has made a smart decision to use google in their cars. I think my next car and my first EV car will be a Renault.
Be careful with efficiency and recharge, the Scenic is basically a bumped up Megane, and the latter is inefficient and has unrealiable charging, leading to long, uncomfortable trips. It usually arrives more than 1 hour later than competition in long trip tests done by French youtubers. If you don't plan to travel with the car, then of course you don't have to care.
@@Vilmir Megane is inefficient? I will have to go back to Bjorn Nyland to check but I don’t think this is the case. Anyhow, I might agree about the efficiency concerns because the Nissan Ariya is not very efficient and that is the same platform. We’ll see. I like the design of the 3008 better and in theory range will be better but the French are fighting back with good products it seems
Agree @paso7943 - I prefer the Scenic. Bigger battery for less money, looks better, heat pump as standard, and the integrated Google Automotive system is a winner. The idea that you don't even get heated wheel and seats on the lower spec E3008 at 46k pounds is a joke.
@@FGGiskard Just saw a review where the Megane consumed 25/26kw per 100km on the French highway. The reviewer could not believe it was consuming so much. It also is constantly pinned for very unreliable charging curves. Bjorn is great, but his results are not always consistent with other reviewers.
@@Vilmir megane is fine for long journeys as is the charging curve and as always gets better in summer. This comes from driving a 2022 techno in the real world 😊

Nice looking car as are many Peugeot's nowadays.

The sloping roof lines really impact that practicality. I look forward the review of the Renault Scenic.
I am looking forward to seeing reviews of the Renault Scenic E-Tech. We aren't changing our car until about June 2025 but as it stands the top 3 on our list are the Skoda Enyaq, Peugeot e-3008 and the Renault Scenic E-Tech. The e-3008 might be removed from the list because we had a very poor experience (actually horrible experience) at our local Stellantis when we were invited to, and attended, a so-called VIP event.
A really good-looking car, but it is likely to face a serious threat from another Frenchman - the Renault E-Scenic. I like all your Electrified films, as well as Escape to the Country.
Feel a bit conflicted about the bigger range (great news!) but at the expense off a huge, heavy battery making everything more inefficient to begin with. EVs should be getting bit smaller and lighter which helps efficiency and therefore range and thus cheaper to run.
To be honest Stellantis isn't really firmly believing into the future of EV and for the new 3008, they will sell (and expect to sell) mostly the hybrid petrol engine version of this car that is way cheaper.
@@joaquimbarbosa896 and also one of the very few SUVs/crossovers currently on sale in Europe that can reach this figure. The only other crossover models out yet that reach those numbers are the Fisker Ocean whose manufacturer is in financial dire straits. The other, Mercedes EQS SUV, is much, much more expensive. Most comparable crossovers, even after recent facelifts, hover between 550-630 km WLTP in the most favorable trims.
@@jonnya245 more expensive with like for like spec? Can you elaborate? I don’t think this is true in the slightest… In theory the LR will have a 100kwh battery at around 54K€, nobody is offering anything close to that
Again a car that is good and I've been waiting for this one, and shame the bigger battery is coming later in the year or even next year, but I see a slow down in these over 40k cars as next year the car tax comes in and these unless I've read it wrong will be hit with the over 40k road tax so people will be expected to spend even more per year on taxing it, I see this slowing down the sale and even leasing of electric cars, anyone have a view on this?
Apart from all that absolutely terrible piano black in and outside the car, it actually looks great. But as Peugeot seems to be doing in general these days, it's priced way too high. Peugeot needs to start looking into the reason why they don't sell any higher numbers of electric cars than they do. They overcharge for cars that has less function than the rest of the markets, in terms of charge speed and horse powers. I'm way more interested in a Renault Scenic than this. Peugeot was on a wave of success a few years back, but the competition seems to have caught up with them.
No it’s not , It’s a Peugeot mid size SUV that’s starts yes starts at £46,000 😳😳😳 When did everyone in the Uk get a Massive pay rise !!!!! It’s a Peugeot not a BMW or Jaguar & before you choice a colour or any options it starts at £46,000 & that’s the small battery one lol 😂 Has anyone else noticed that Ev’s are not getting anymore efficient !!!!!!! Or That the battery tech since 2014 isn’t really getting people much more Range. I saw what cars new video the other day & even the new Tesla modep 3 highland long range has only really got maybe 10 more miles more than the old version & remember the new highland version is more aero & has better more aero wheels plus is lighter apparently. Battery tech doesn’t seem to be improving too much regarding range & charging speeds. I hear how the media has put out so much fake news around EV’s But Ev company & other also mis things out. They fail to tell you on home chargers you could lose upto 15% of the electric you are paying for to charge your car be lost in just the transfer & conversion process. Preheat before you leave for better efficiency is good but it costs you money , how much !!!!! Preheating on a journey to rapid charge so your car charges quicker , how much does this cost !!!!!! Anyway back to the point What is the percentage of the uk who can comfortably afford to buy this car on a normal HP or bank loan. Even if Peugeot gave you 5 years at 0% finance deal it would still be around £600.00 pm with a £10,000 deposit for the 60 months. And based on today’s prices you would be lucky at the end of the 5 years this car was worth £8000 !!!!!! As today you can buy a 2021 Peugeot E 2006 GT Premium top spec with just 8k miles for as little as £13,000 & this car isn’t even 4 years old yet. Crazy price drop. Look Ev will only help save the world 🌎 if people can afford to buy them plus if your going to want to save the world anyone that buys one should be forced to keep it for a min of 10 to 15 years as the production of these are slightly worse for the environment
The reason that they're not getting any more efficient is because the drivetrain is already ultra efficient, Tesla has already optimized almost everything else that effects range(sans weight), so until they get lighter batteries it's really hard to optimize it even more.
I have no idea. The bricklayer who built my extension a couple of years back, said he can earn £2500 on a good week. He said a bad week ( due to crap weather etc) was £500 to £600..... that said, I never saw anyone graft like he did. On one particularly warm day I offered him a large tin of Carlsberg lager in a pint glass. He downed it in about 3 seconds. His labourer could barely keep up with him, supplying him with blocks and mortar.....
Mercedes CLA has 466mi WLTP range, 250kW + 50kW boost charging power, LiDAR, HUD etc. and will cost around €59k/£50k with the bigger battery. That is a good improvement over existing EVs of its class
Such a large car and no froot - please don’t call it a frunk US English. Like many EVs it’s too big and too heavy, it’ll have a negative effect on the UK’s shoddy potholed roads.
You really have drived the Skoda Eniak? Have you seen that he have hydraulic steering, is driving like a van and the brakes stop verry late, it is obvious that the Vw plathform is a big regres.
46k for a small Peugeot EV and no heat pump or heated seats as standard. You gotta be kidding me. You have to be mad to buy this new. It'll be worth 20k after two years. This mad inflated EV pricing has to stop.
@@yitzele Just look at the complexity of the interior, all the parts will have to be different for left hand drive markets. In the case of this car, that means mainly the UK and Ireland(maybe a few hundred will be exported to Australia and New Zealand), so low volume production. This is not the first or even the last vehicle where the final price for the UK market is several thousand euros higher than the matching trim in mainland markets.
there's nothing to get excited about, electricity is getting more and more expensive and I don't see so many cars on chargers in front of universities, it's starting to cost the same as combustion driving, after ten years what will it look like? In the city. Price per kilowat 0.45 pence or more
I really liked the previous 3008 and 5008, but I feel like this is a huge step back design wise. The 'radiator grill' is too big, the headlights too small, the nose is too long for an SUV, the sloping roofline makes it look really small and the wheel design is simply rediculous (just my personal opinion of course).
@@nssimpson the wheels aren't a consistent pattern, they have a bar shape that only runs 180° across the wheel Even if the front and rear started aligned (e.g. both ran top to bottom) as soon as you have any wheel slip they'll never line up again
I don’t believe it will come close to 400 miles. Do the maths, it will have to achieve the kind of efficiency figure that EV’s just aren’t close to yet. And it would have to do it regularly. Personally I think the previous gen was a better resolved design. This looks clumsy and they’ve compromised it for aerodynamics. And in the end, the actual car is so so. I owned a previous gen 3008 and although the driving position was for me so uncomfortable I thought it was trying break my back and the interior quality, when you lived with the car, was actually disappointing, I thought it was still a desirable car, one that moved Peugeot on.
It's not that large for a family car, people do have kids and dogs. Though you're definitely right about the depreciation, especially looking at Peugeots other EVs
I went to the dealer the other day and they had so many used electric cars sitting in stock. My leased Leaf has lost 1/2 its value in 2 years. Crazy stuff. At this point I would never buy a new one as I know full well the batteries will last just fine on a slightly used.
Which is exactly why most who choose this car will lease it, instead of buying it. There is no depreciation shock if you lease. Why does the depreciation matter to you if you aren't going to have one?
@@Brian-om2hh of course there is, brands take this into account, hence why lease prices are going up. But I think the LR will age quite well with the 100kwh battery. Great car this one if you ask me
-it seems some people will never have good things to say about Peugeot-we can call them haters or whatever-doesnt matter-go drive it yourself and decide - i think its relative these so called journalists that wants to have a mouthful about Peugeot that and Peugeot this while in their own country they cant produce something which is worthwhile commenting or bragging about...typical ne,,,besides RR
First off... compared to the 'other' swooping fastback EV you've recently tested (yes... I'm looking at you, BMW iX2... 🤮) what a difference in design and styling between the e3008 and the BMW... How on Earth the iX2 got 'signed off' by BMW management, I'll never know...!! And, as a second point, an EV that starts at £46k and does NOT have standard heated seats / steering wheel / heat pump in this day-and-age is BONKERS... Why, Peugeot... why...????? 😵
Do any of the other hosts get a chance to do new car reviews? I assume this channel is Ginny's channel so the rest of the team get the leftovers. I'd love to see reviews as a equal opportunity between all the hosts.
Sigh… another desirable EV that we'll never see on this side of the pond. You Europeans have so many choices on the menu, while here we can only choose… a hamburger or a hot dog. Tsk.
I don't know what it is about brits and their weird obsession with cup holders.... Have never used one in my life except maybe to put keys or loose change.... If I want to drink a coffee I do it at home or sit down on a nice café terrace....
yah shame-she has got nothing bad to say now shes picking on a cupholder-as if brits travel thousands of miles and have to have coffee for the long travels-lol-get a life sister!
It's different. And different can, sometimes, be good. Not so in this case. Because from the side, this Pug looks... _Hunched._ As for interior quality. When Ginny was playing about with the cable for her 'phone, it sounded like cheap plastic. I've got storage boxes in the kitchen that sound less plasticy than this Pug did ;-))... So the best deal would be to wait till someone else has had this £46,000 Pug and get it second hand after just 3 years and with 15,000 on the clock for £20,000 8-))...
Come on Peugeot give us a retro 205 GT live the new R5 from Renault it would sell like hot cakes, 👍 Do it I dare you. This comes across as a total miss. No heat pump as standard - really it’s 2024 Peugeot and that’s embarrassing on a Car that so overpriced it’s laughable. Anyone buying this for £46k is simply an idiot in my book. Better and cheaper options about.
What is Psychology? Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Psychologists are actively involved in studying and understanding mental processes, brain functions, and behavior. The field of psychology is considered a "Hub Science" with strong connections to the medical sciences, social sciences, and education (Boyack, Klavans, & Borner, 2005). At Ohio State, the Department of Psychology is organized into eight areas, working to investigate critical aspects of the brain and human behavior.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The claimed range on the bigger battery equates to 4.4 miles per kwh. Which is frankly laughable. The idea that a 2 tonnes square lump will get over 4 miles per kwh is ludicrous. It will do 350 in the height of summer at best and will struggle to reach 300 in winter.
lol you have no clue. The weight does not matter that much, aerodynamics and efficient drivetrain components are more important. Second, we are talking about WLTP numbers and it is helpful to understand how they are measured. At lower speeds rolling-resistance matters the most. Here the weight does play a big role. However, the consumption figure can be altered by low rolling resistance tyres and by energy regeneration. The WLTP test cycle at lower speeds simulates a city/countryside usage and you have lots of energy regeneration phases because of simulated breaking at traffic lights etc. Actually a higher weight helps to regenerate big portions of the energy back into the batteries here. For the highway test cycle the air/drag resistance is the most important factor and the weight of the car does not matter that much. The e-3008 has quite a low drag coefficient for an SUV, it is actually a SUV Coupé with a nice curved roofline + it uses high quality components for the drivetrain and battery components, so even at higher speeds the consumption isn't outrageous. = 4.4mi/kWh is doable in the WLTP test cycle. In real life 4mi/kWh seem realistic.
Game changer? Probably not. Model Y, Kia Niro and Model Y seem more complete as cars. A good-looking car but I prefer the looks of the Scenic and Y. To me, the claw LED lights seem gimmicky,
How are you being swindled if you choose not to have one? Does paying one of the highest rates of fuel duty in the World cause you any grief when you fill up with petrol or diesel? Surely that's a swindle too, because you *already* paid tax on that money when you earned it......
All other ic cars are gone more expensive not because of technology. It is because they want you to choose electric car as electricity is supposed to be cheaper but it is not. You lose a lot of money in depreciation. Cost of baterry replacement is extortionate and insurance doesn't cover all cases. If you want to avoid problems you need to keep eV cars shorter. So you spend much more money. Cost of cars is not a problem only in UK it is all over the world. All tax incentives are slowly withdrawn all over the world and eV with decent range are not cheaper. You are swindled in many clever ways. You can enyoj acceleration like you are in Ferrari all reviewers point out like before we all drove Ferrari.
Peugeot has levelled up big time since 2012-2014. 10 years already, time to catch up. It's a great brand.

Has anyone else noticed that Ev’s are not getting anymore efficient !!!!!!!
Or That the battery tech since 2014 isn’t really getting people much more Range.
I saw what cars new video the other day & even the new Tesla modep 3 highland long range has only really got maybe 10 more miles more than the old version & remember the new highland version is more aero & has better more aero wheels plus is lighter apparently.
Battery tech doesn’t seem to be improving too much regarding range & charging speeds.
I hear how the media has put out so much fake news around EV’s
But Ev company & other also mis things out.
They fail to tell you on home chargers you could lose upto 15% of the electric you are paying for to charge your car be lost in just the transfer & conversion process.
Preheat before you leave for better efficiency is good but it costs you money , how much !!!!!
Preheating on a journey to rapid charge so your car charges quicker , how much does this cost !!!!!!
Anyway back to the point
What is the percentage of the uk who can comfortably afford to buy this car on a normal HP or bank loan.
Even if Peugeot gave you 5 years at 0% finance deal it would still be around £600.00 pm with a £10,000 deposit for the 60 months.
And based on today’s prices you would be lucky at the end of the 5 years this car was worth £8000 !!!!!!
As today you can buy a 2021 Peugeot E 2006 GT Premium top spec with just 8k miles for as little as £13,000 & this car isn’t even 4 years old yet. Crazy price drop.
Look Ev will only help save the world 🌎 if people can afford to buy them plus if your going to want to save the world anyone that buys one should be forced to keep it for a min of 10 to 15 years as the production of these are slightly worse for the environment
The reason that they're not getting any more efficient is because the drivetrain is already ultra efficient, Tesla has already optimized almost everything else that effects range(sans weight), so until they get lighter batteries it's really hard to optimize it even more.
I have no idea. The bricklayer who built my extension a couple of years back, said he can earn £2500 on a good week. He said a bad week ( due to crap weather etc) was £500 to £600..... that said, I never saw anyone graft like he did. On one particularly warm day I offered him a large tin of Carlsberg lager in a pint glass. He downed it in about 3 seconds. His labourer could barely keep up with him, supplying him with blocks and mortar.....
Mercedes CLA has 466mi WLTP range, 250kW + 50kW boost charging power, LiDAR, HUD etc. and will cost around €59k/£50k with the bigger battery. That is a good improvement over existing EVs of its class
Such a large car and no froot - please don’t call it a frunk US English. Like many EVs it’s too big and too heavy, it’ll have a negative effect on the UK’s shoddy potholed roads.
You really have drived the Skoda Eniak? Have you seen that he have hydraulic steering, is driving like a van and the brakes stop verry late, it is obvious that the Vw plathform is a big regres.
Looks like Ginney has bulked up a bit!
I have watched a lot of your videos and just realized that it would be appreciated if you also stated the range in kilometers. Thank you :)
46k for a small Peugeot EV and no heat pump or heated seats as standard. You gotta be kidding me. You have to be mad to buy this new. It'll be worth 20k after two years. This mad inflated EV pricing has to stop.
This is the cost of adaptation for the specific UK market, in Europe the base model starts at €45k which is ~ £39k.
@@Dqtube bollox what adaptation don't buy this crap from them
@@yitzele Just look at the complexity of the interior, all the parts will have to be different for left hand drive markets. In the case of this car, that means mainly the UK and Ireland(maybe a few hundred will be exported to Australia and New Zealand), so low volume production. This is not the first or even the last vehicle where the final price for the UK market is several thousand euros higher than the matching trim in mainland markets.
It's hardly small!!...try standing next to one!!
NO HEATING??????
there's nothing to get excited about, electricity is getting more and more expensive and I don't see so many cars on chargers in front of universities, it's starting to cost the same as combustion driving, after ten years what will it look like? In the city. Price per kilowat 0.45 pence or more
I really liked the previous 3008 and 5008, but I feel like this is a huge step back design wise. The 'radiator grill' is too big, the headlights too small, the nose is too long for an SUV, the sloping roofline makes it look really small and the wheel design is simply rediculous (just my personal opinion of course).
I hate the wheels, they'll next to never align together 😢
What?
@@nssimpson sounds like OCD to me....
@@Brian-om2hh agreed 🤣
@@nssimpson the wheels aren't a consistent pattern, they have a bar shape that only runs 180° across the wheel
Even if the front and rear started aligned (e.g. both ran top to bottom) as soon as you have any wheel slip they'll never line up again
@@Stewiedude1 does it really matter though?
that steering wheel is taking all the view for central dial cluster - who designed this 😂
You obviously have never sat in one. No difficulty seeing instrument panel. You just need to adjust seat and Steering wheel. Takes about 30 secs.
It's about time they offered a bigger battery although now they've gone to the extreme. 🤣
I don’t believe it will come close to 400 miles. Do the maths, it will have to achieve the kind of efficiency figure that EV’s just aren’t close to yet. And it would have to do it regularly. Personally I think the previous gen was a better resolved design. This looks clumsy and they’ve compromised it for aerodynamics. And in the end, the actual car is so so. I owned a previous gen 3008 and although the driving position was for me so uncomfortable I thought it was trying break my back and the interior quality, when you lived with the car, was actually disappointing, I thought it was still a desirable car, one that moved Peugeot on.
Beauty is really in the eye of the beholder. For me, it’s ugly, bit i don’t like SUV’s in general
It's absolutely enormous and will depreciate faster than a meteor falling from space
It's not that large for a family car, people do have kids and dogs.
Though you're definitely right about the depreciation, especially looking at Peugeots other EVs
I went to the dealer the other day and they had so many used electric cars sitting in stock. My leased Leaf has lost 1/2 its value in 2 years. Crazy stuff. At this point I would never buy a new one as I know full well the batteries will last just fine on a slightly used.
@@tenwatts2378 I'm looking at a 3 year old e-2008. You can get one for under £15k
Which is exactly why most who choose this car will lease it, instead of buying it. There is no depreciation shock if you lease. Why does the depreciation matter to you if you aren't going to have one?
@@Brian-om2hh of course there is, brands take this into account, hence why lease prices are going up. But I think the LR will age quite well with the 100kwh battery. Great car this one if you ask me
-it seems some people will never have good things to say about Peugeot-we can call them haters or whatever-doesnt matter-go drive it yourself and decide - i think its relative these so called journalists that wants to have a mouthful about Peugeot that and Peugeot this while in their own country they cant produce something which is worthwhile commenting or bragging about...typical ne,,,besides RR
The e3008 is too heavy, not very efficient and expensive.
The Scenic is better in all these points
First off... compared to the 'other' swooping fastback EV you've recently tested (yes... I'm looking at you, BMW iX2... 🤮) what a difference in design and styling between the e3008 and the BMW...
How on Earth the iX2 got 'signed off' by BMW management, I'll never know...!!
And, as a second point, an EV that starts at £46k and does NOT have standard heated seats / steering wheel / heat pump in this day-and-age is BONKERS...
Why, Peugeot... why...????? 😵
The front is nice, back is ugly and the interior is meh.
A solid 6/10 car.
Do any of the other hosts get a chance to do new car reviews? I assume this channel is Ginny's channel so the rest of the team get the leftovers. I'd love to see reviews as a equal opportunity between all the hosts.
Sigh… another desirable EV that we'll never see on this side of the pond. You Europeans have so many choices on the menu, while here we can only choose… a hamburger or a hot dog. Tsk.
No rear wiper, no for me
A rear wiper is going to stop you buying a car. You can't be serious. Have you driven one in the rain to actually see if you need one.
I don't know what it is about brits and their weird obsession with cup holders....
Have never used one in my life except maybe to put keys or loose change....
If I want to drink a coffee I do it at home or sit down on a nice café terrace....
yah shame-she has got nothing bad to say now shes picking on a cupholder-as if brits travel thousands of miles and have to have coffee for the long travels-lol-get a life sister!
Bots are active on your channel...
We don;t need anymore overpriced SUV's. The legacy car makers have lost the plot.
It's different. And different can, sometimes, be good. Not so in this case. Because from the side, this Pug looks... _Hunched._
As for interior quality. When Ginny was playing about with the cable for her 'phone, it sounded like cheap plastic. I've got storage boxes in the kitchen that sound less plasticy than this Pug did ;-))...
So the best deal would be to wait till someone else has had this £46,000 Pug and get it second hand after just 3 years and with 15,000 on the clock for £20,000 8-))...
Your video recording is very bad. Is that person learning behind the camera?
Come on Peugeot give us a retro 205 GT live the new R5 from Renault it would sell like hot cakes, 👍 Do it I dare you. This comes across as a total miss. No heat pump as standard - really it’s 2024 Peugeot and that’s embarrassing on a Car that so overpriced it’s laughable. Anyone buying this for £46k is simply an idiot in my book. Better and cheaper options about.
£46,000 ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Totally insane. It will be worth 28,000 a year later.
What is Psychology?
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behavior. Psychologists are actively involved in studying and understanding mental processes, brain functions, and behavior. The field of psychology is considered a "Hub Science" with strong connections to the medical sciences, social sciences, and education (Boyack, Klavans, & Borner, 2005).
At Ohio State, the Department of Psychology is organized into eight areas, working to investigate critical aspects of the brain and human behavior.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The claimed range on the bigger battery equates to 4.4 miles per kwh. Which is frankly laughable. The idea that a 2 tonnes square lump will get over 4 miles per kwh is ludicrous. It will do 350 in the height of summer at best and will struggle to reach 300 in winter.
lol you have no clue. The weight does not matter that much, aerodynamics and efficient drivetrain components are more important. Second, we are talking about WLTP numbers and it is helpful to understand how they are measured.
At lower speeds rolling-resistance matters the most. Here the weight does play a big role. However, the consumption figure can be altered by low rolling resistance tyres and by energy regeneration. The WLTP test cycle at lower speeds simulates a city/countryside usage and you have lots of energy regeneration phases because of simulated breaking at traffic lights etc. Actually a higher weight helps to regenerate big portions of the energy back into the batteries here.
For the highway test cycle the air/drag resistance is the most important factor and the weight of the car does not matter that much. The e-3008 has quite a low drag coefficient for an SUV, it is actually a SUV Coupé with a nice curved roofline + it uses high quality components for the drivetrain and battery components, so even at higher speeds the consumption isn't outrageous.
= 4.4mi/kWh is doable in the WLTP test cycle. In real life 4mi/kWh seem realistic.
Sorry just looks awful inside and out, great that range is getting better but not for me.
Another expensive ev with the interior full of shiny black plastic and screens.
what did you expect a 2000 pioneer radio with buttons for every station? lol
There is Loads of rear leg room, what on earth are you talking about? Your knees were a good 5 inches or more from the back of the front seat
she complains for the sake of complaining
Being a French ev it will only take a Demi Tass in the cup holder 😂😂😂🤣🤣
You've got the bloody car, why haven't you just tested whether it'll regen all the way to a stop? That would have taken you seconds to check. 😵💫
Those wheels are absolutely hideous. Get a grip, and those capacitive buttons on steering wheel, yuck. Looks and feels cheap.
Dont trust those heated seats on the highest spec, they removed them from the e208 and our GT did not come with them. Dont trust Pegueot on thist
Game changer? Probably not. Model Y, Kia Niro and Model Y seem more complete as cars. A good-looking car but I prefer the looks of the Scenic and Y. To me, the claw LED lights seem gimmicky,
Model Y is totally outdated and the interior quality is a complete joke. Nobody should be buying this crap anymore
BYD Atto3 is better with blade battery
They use the same batteries from BYD
I watch all these EV reviews, and I think you should just get the Tesla instead!
That’s so true
ALL Teslas except for the Model 3 are utter garbage and totally outdated
Overpriced electric shit daylight robbery. At some point in the future this era in car industry will be known as the great ev swindle.
How are you being swindled if you choose not to have one? Does paying one of the highest rates of fuel duty in the World cause you any grief when you fill up with petrol or diesel? Surely that's a swindle too, because you *already* paid tax on that money when you earned it......
All other ic cars are gone more expensive not because of technology. It is because they want you to choose electric car as electricity is supposed to be cheaper but it is not. You lose a lot of money in depreciation. Cost of baterry replacement is extortionate and insurance doesn't cover all cases. If you want to avoid problems you need to keep eV cars shorter. So you spend much more money. Cost of cars is not a problem only in UK it is all over the world. All tax incentives are slowly withdrawn all over the world and eV with decent range are not cheaper. You are swindled in many clever ways. You can enyoj acceleration like you are in Ferrari all reviewers point out like before we all drove Ferrari.
