- Peugeot took it upon themselves to upgrade the e-2008 for 2022 in an effort to keep up with the hotly contested small SUV market.
Tish answers two pressing questions:
A) Have the upgrades made a difference to the efficiency?
B) Can the e-2008 compete with other big badge electric SUVs?

I've had my e2008 in blue for 16 months now and I love it. Tick's all my boxes: size, looks, practicality, handling, speed (in sport mode its great) and its been totally reliable so far. Range wise: At 100% the computer says 202 miles but its very much a guide as people who own electric cars know. Winter, people, speed, hills, wind all affect range. I have found that on a motorway in the winter range is about 2:1, i.e. stated battery is 2 for 1 on a motorway - thus about 100 miles. Cross country with lots of corners/braking or urban driving about 180 miles easy and reliably. Really like the silent clean driving experience. Dont want to go back to ICE again.
Cheers for adding subtitles - much appreciated!
I had the e-2008 for a week and considered it, but went with the ë-C4 instead. It was priced better and felt a bit more upmarket - the comfort simply sealed it for me.
During the week I had the Peugeot I did around 650 km (400 miles) and averaged 130 Wh/km (13 kWh/100 km or 4.78 miles per kWh).
Really enjoyed the video. I'm hoping to finally get my e-2008 next month in September, fingers crossed with this new update. My question is with the price hikes in electricity getting higher and higher are ev cars actually the way to go right now?
Lovely car but the pricing makes no sense in comparison to competitors imo
Batteries are only going to get better over time and range will improve in new models. My concern is that 214 miles will not seem a lot in two or three years time, just as the Nissan Leaf with less than 100 now seems inadequate - even though most journeys are considerably less than even this.
Efficiency figures are on the i-cockpit screen if you use the left hand roller on the steering wheel for a permanent view or the end button on the right hand stalk if you want a temporary view.
I’ve had the e2008 since April with a range of 219 miles. Remember that you need to charge it when it has around 50 miles left which is 20%. That takes your range to 169 before you start looking for a charger. Also there are no air vents at the back, apart from that we love the car.
looking forward to taking delivery on my 72 plate in a weeks time and having some fun :)
What would be really helpful is a chapter showing the cost, or at least a mention in the description.
It's a steal in Sweden. 346 GBP a month, for an 12 month leasing contract. That is with the GT trim and insurance included (same insurance price for everyone, Crazy Peugeot offer)
That is near impossible to compete with over here.
You can get similar offers in the UK via car salary sacrifice schemes. I know, I've just got one - £339 a month for 12k miles, top spec GT Premium.
Wow stunning 👌 the car looks OK to 😉
i really want this as my second car, here's me praying i can get it next year
As a peugeot 208 (2018 version) owner while i was pressing buttons randomly inside my car i figured out that the efficiency button for the efficiency figures was the at the top of the stick which controls the windscreen wiper... Maybe give it a try it might still be there... By what i see the software of this car is still quite similar to my car.
Press the end of one of the stalks and you get efficiency figures
Correct. The efficiency figures and drive data is only visible in the 3d cockpit interface. It's too bad it can't be shown in the main infotainment screen for all passengers to see it.
Yep - it’s the right-hand (wiper) stalk in my e-208
gorgeous🤩❣️
I drove the petrol version of this car and loved it so I ordered the EV version in July. Roll on October!
You're going to regret it if you need to go on a long journey.
I ordered the EV GT for a May delivery. I am still waiting for it to be built. Don't hold your breath...
@@EGTGUY why? Plenty of charge points along the motorway isn't there? Is this speculation or experience?
I rented this car for three months and loved it from a design standpoint and was a wonderful drive. However, the range is totally unforgivable. You’ve got to charge the blasted thing constantly and the miles drop SO quickly, especially when you’re on motorways. Be wary of this car….as lovely as it is.
Nice review tish my next car going to be the new astra as got corsa e and love it 👍🏼
Are you going to wait for the Astra-e or do you need a combustion car in the family too?
@@AutoSocialUK waiting for the astra e as still on pcp on my current car just love electric and dont think id go back to ice because savings on fuel,i was moaning ehen it was 1.20 litre and was only putting £80 a month in which doesn't sound alot for most people but most ive put in electric in a month is £38.91 and only do roughly 100 miles a month so loving it at the moment 👍🏼
Longer Range and Auto-Hold added and it will be great!
It would become great after a shitload of other (safety features). Like this it’s a overpriced car.
I wish more evs would come to America...
This is correct but mainly the EV's you get are the top of the range models from here in Europe and then small cars are not really selling in America.
The efficiency that would be helpful, is a reduction in purchase price. A big reduction.
I think the EV efficiency figures are at the end of the indicator stalk
3:58 can confirm standard badge on the e208 as well now - apparently didn’t do well over time and was flaking….
All my badges have flaked
I already ordered a MG5 SR but my wife ist Peugeot addicted ever since. Maybe we change her combustion 2008 to the Facelift 🤔
I bought my petrol version mostly by looks, still one of the best looking cars out there in all categories. The other aspect well over avarage, spunky engine.
We r waiting ours in a week 2023 allure e2008 I hope it’s not a wrong design
Other option is the Chinese VW ID4 which I don’t to risk with Chinese models and the dealer dose not give warranty for it
I think it looks alright inside and out but range is not good enough for the price
Totally agree with you, Tish...not knowing the efficiency in electric usage with the Peugeot would drive me nuts too! It reminds me of the way race car drivers do this on the track (and while in the pits, when they push the reset button on their steering wheel) and I use it on my Honda CR-V quite a bit.
This electric has the same problem that many others have - expense. 35,000 Pounds (I think it's around $50K in U.S. dollars) is cost prohibitive for most people who may think of getting one (myself included).On a lighter note...love the dress, Tish. :)
I think the settings you are looking for on the rightmost piano key, which takes you to the charge menu. At the bottom, press statistics. That's where it is on the 208. The stupid thing is the graph doesn't show you a regen bar when set to imperial measurements. It only shows a regen bar in metric. Doh.
I am not sure it is found there, it is in the e-208 but not the e-2008. I wish I had it now so I could double check
@@AutoSocialUK the "scan my peugot" app is the user manual app and it says the energy button is in the same place. It isn't the piano key, but the touch sensitive non haptic button behind it.
214 miles is still impressive but at £35k, you get better cars out there. Sorry Peugeot you need to get EV architecture cars in now to drive the cost down.
Same or greater size, what's the alternative?
the colour in the grill on the electric models is the same colour as the car, the red car here has a red tinted grill, blue has blue, etc
I discounted the e2008 because its assisted driving tech scored quite poorly on Euro Ncap testing.
There is non 😂
I kept wondering if she and I are looking at the same car. Yeesh.
Does this vehicle have a heat pump?
So basically, the only change is black wing mirrors!!
I unfortunately have a late 2020 GT, top spec at the time, and 50Kw, whether they have claimed to squeeze out 18 more miles than mine at 200 miles, is in real terms NOWHERE NEAR that! I know, I have one! Stellantis have also made the 'new' one as disappointingly boring as the last. They need to ditch this "let's convert our ICE models into electric" because it just doesn't work! Mine has been a pleasure to drive, boring although, but you just cannot go far enough in this car without the dreaded "where do I charge problem", which I had 2 months ago, on a 200 mile round-trip journey. I won't go into that nightmare here. Can't wait to ditch my GT for another brand. Never buying a pue!geot again.
Have a 2020 e2008 so 8 extra miles range does not impress me. I get approx 155-160 miles summer and 110-120 miles winter. Heat pump in 2020 model next to useless. They should have removed the dead weight, may have got that extra 8 miles just taking the heat pump out.
Each to their own of course, but what I've found is any other car that has better range or is cheaper is pretty terrible in comparison to the inside of the car. I know a cars made for driving but I like a good looking car in and out. Been looking for months, had one on order (new) but cancelled, then ended up buying one anyway that I get next week. C4 interior is terrible in comparison, got tempted by a MG5 Trophy but it ain't an SUV and having seen it IRL, the quality is down-market.
The price could do with a slight drop but the exterior and interior look put it's right at the top. I tried to get one of the other SUV evs around the £30k mark but just couldn't bring myself to give up the e-2008 so compromised by getting a 2021 GT nearly new instead to keep price down. (£30k 8k miles ex demo)
My biggest concern is the range will undoubtedly end up being considered poor over the next 5 years I'll own it, but then again I can always hand it back.
214miles at 35k! HAHAHA. Not good enough anymore. Kona, SoulEV, Niro EV, MG ZS EV… All delivering better range at the same or less.
Subtitles?
What's with the subtitles?
Accessibility. For the hard of hearing.
@@spsmith45 ...in addition to the accessibility subtitle option that is already built in to TH-cam?
Still no armrest, you just get an elbow rest.
I am currently driving this car, had it from 1 years, it’s a worst car in terms of battery ranch’s. It’s never gave me around 200mile. In summer I got highest around 160 and winter is less that 70-80. Dealers don’t even help and can’t find out why this car isn’t giving the Millie it’s suppose to be. Can’t wait to finish my contract
14 miles extra wouldn't make me buy it
Peugeot is nice cars but the i-cockpit dont work for me.
The problem with those tyres is, a lower rolling resistance will mean overall a reduced grip. This will mean you are relying more on the traction control and ABS, as well as cornering ability is reduced. Some will say otherwise, but laws of physics cannot work both ways at the same time. The e-2008 is not a bad looking car and happy with the performance figures. Is it compromised in design due to it also being petrol and diesel?
All I can say is the e208 is great. I have the 2021 spec and it easily does 4mi/kWh in mixed driving, 3.5 in this really hot weather. I wouldn't have even considered Peugot because my work van is a Pug and I can't stand it. Yes the range is bit small compared the newest cars, but these are well built and drive well. The GT spec and above have tons of kit. The only compromise you will find is less storage compared to a dedicated EV (and a slightly crap UI and app). I don't think you will find any issues with TC or ABS in normal driving in town or B roads, regen takes care of braking and cornering is different because the weight shift under deceleration is slight and predictable. I've not tried the 2008, but you wouldn't be buying it to throw around corners.
if only it had a REX .... I would be first in the queue
nice car, but way too expensive for an ev with 100kw motor, 50kwh battery and no tow hitch option.
The mileage is still a problem as you be lucky to get 160-180 miles in the winter
That's only really an issue if you are doing 60+miles a day
@@IanMcc1000 which many people do !
@@wayneheyes904 There's plenty of 300 mile cars coming in the next few months for a similar price, however the old one is cheaper than pretty much anything except the leaf and MG. People doing 60 miles a day are probably paying £200-250 on fuel per month as opposed to about £65 to charge at home. It's all a case of balance and seeing if you can make it work. The fuel saving pretty much pays for the car over 10 years.
A 50 kW battery is not a big battery. Design elements not makes bigger range, i love peugeot but i will stay with my model Y long range
The chromed part on the back bumper isn’t chrome at all. It’s painted and can get scratched badly. I found out the hard way…
The so called “top spec model” does have a armrest in the back. 6ft people sit just fine in the back but there is no room for an other seating position if your bum is getting numb. A totally other story sitting behind the wheel! As a 6ft person I fit nicely behind the wheel but the seats are just to short and gives you zero support. All the pressure downwards while sitting in these seats is on your cheeks and after 1,5 hours mine does go numb. These seats being very small makes you have little room to move around and difficult to find some needed relieve.
The gloss black doesn’t scratch at all. I got 30 k mls on mine, not a single scratch. Just use a damp microfiber cloth and the scratch you thing there is, appears to be dirt.
The efficiency settings are in the dashboard love. You’re looking at the wrong screen. Use the scroller at the wheel and you’ll get there.
The longest trip we made with it was from Amsterdam to Paris (and back of course) and afterwards I feel that this is the maximum distance (and travel time) that I can endure in this care because of these seats. The three times we had to stop for charging were very much welkom!
Based on ICE design with a transmission tunnel and batteries shoehorned in wherever there is space😞 where is the innovation, EV’s are the chance to rethink car design, and Perjot!!🤬 Give us this, for £35k no thanks.
One good thing, this will likely hold its value like a lead balloon meaning cheap used EV’s are not far away.
Wake up Peugeot! Battery technology is much better now. Just look at the Zeekr 001 made by Geely
Roddy tested one and had 130 miles from a home full charge. I think you need to be more careful with your research. I would not go anywhere near one. I will keep my Kona, brilliant.
The only way to make it go further is by towing it, they are beyond crap and should not be sold
You still have to push forward to go backwards?! 🙄
Makes total sense. If you think about it!
Not good enough other than its looks. Too much money for this amount of range
And again a boring SUV added to the endles list of boring SUV's. Seems, there is an endless line of boring people that want to ride in a SUV.
Lol
Stopping the engine really
dont bother with a 2008. Low range, poor app which does not work at all some of the time. In short burn it, and get a Kia enero!
What gears? It's electric. There is no gears just an electric motor or two that can drive the wheels either way.
It's strange, I thought this too but it is in the official release from Peugeot. I think by 'gearbox ratio' they mean the efficiency of the singular gear. I'll try and get it cleared up
@@AutoSocialUK Well you can have gears on an electric motor but it's not in the traditional sense where you need a gearbox and a gearstick or for the cars computer to change gears automatically it's just to reduce the amount of slippage to the wheels so less chance of burnoffs
Who the fuck is Perjoe??? 🙄
Not impressed
You do not drive to empty 10k you can not use
At 80% charging speed drops a lot 10 kw best not to use
That leave you with 30kw useable 120 miles (3 gallons)
NO ENOUGH my motor bike has 5 gallon tank 4 1/2 useable
She has a squeaky voice really irritating
Longer Range and Auto-Hold added and it will be great!
