Peugeot e-3008
Discussion
Supposed to be available around Feb 2024. Quite liking the look of the two wheel drive long range version, with a claimed range of 435 miles. Even though that’ll be optimistic, its got to be perhaps 350 miles in the real world?
Waiting for my employer to provide details of the new (Tusker) salary sacrifice car scheme, so no idea at this stage what’s going to be affordable based on my monthly allowance and there won’t be any figures for one of these for some time anyway, as final pricing hasn’t been confirmed.
Arguably nobody ‘needs’ that much range, but 99% of the time, I’d be able to charge at home on cheap juice and then find somewhere with a free or cheap destination charger overnight. Can’t see my wife wanting to be bothered with charging away from home, and this range would mean she could visit family for the weekend and get there and back on a charge.
Would prefer a conventional estate car, but they’re few and far between in EV land. Don’t want an MG5 and the Taycan Cross or whatever it’s called would definitely be too pricey. Will look at the Fisker Ocean too. Would need to see inside the boot of the e-3008, bit should be enough headroom for our retriever.
Bloomin’ heavy though at 2,200kg. Glad the company picks up the tab for tyres, as I suspect it would get through a few sets!

How disappointing, but probably inevitable! Details of the standard range model (320 ish miles) now emerging.
To get those EV ‘winter essentials’ of heated front seats and steering wheel, you’re forced to opt for the top-spec GT model. That’s £49.6k!!
If you want to stand any chance of getting near the published range in winter, a heat pump is a must. That’s another £700. Can’t believe on a brand new model they’ve omitted that.
Fancy a stereo upgrade? That’s only bundled in with a panoramic roof and some sort of air filtration system. Yours for just £1,200 extra.
Current Kuga has blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert, both of which I find useful. You’ve guessed it. They’d relegated to the options list too and a further £600 has to exchange hands if those are on your wish list.
My rudimentary maths brings the total to £52,100. No pricing yet for the long range model, but it’s surely likely to be another £3k+…
Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with the £55k Peugeot family sized electric SUV.
I know that with the majority now only looking at what are effectively monthly rental costs, the list price is largely an irrelevance, but my goodness that’s steep pricing.
Strongly suspect that this will be very pricey on company salary sacrifice schemes. Will wait to see the numbers for the long range in due course, but I’d be very surprised if one of these will be sitting on the drive any time soon.
Brand new platform and weighing in at 2,100kg for the currently available standard range affair. That’ll rise further with the bigger battery pack. Published 0-62mph for the standard range model is 8.8 seconds. Suspect that with the extra weight of the bigger battery, that’ll add another second and likely result in a car that starts to feel a bit lardy and bloated.
Feels like a bit of a miss already. Stuff that should be standard on the options list (I’m looking at you heat pump!), ‘ambitious’ pricing and rather obese.

When they range test these things, is it in the standard spec or a higher spec (i.e. heat pump included)?To get those EV ‘winter essentials’ of heated front seats and steering wheel, you’re forced to opt for the top-spec GT model. That’s £49.6k!!

I'm surprised they haven't included a heat pump as standard. I'm picking up a Citroen e-C4 at the weekend and if my research is correct, it has a heat pump. And that's a far cheaper car.
£49k does sound a lot, having said that a Tesla Model Y Long Range with 331 mile range has a list price of £52,990 before options. Yes, it accelerates faster but I'd say the Peugeot is much more stylish instead and out.
