The PEUGEOT 2008 has been a best-seller in the B-segment SUV market for more than three years and has now taken a new step forward in terms of design, technology and electrification.
Launched at the end of 2019 and with nearly 700,000 units produced, the PEUGEOT 2008 has always been on the podium in terms of B-segment SUV sales in Europe and even topped that list in 2021.
The success of this model is particularly due to the E-2008, which was a pioneer of electrification in its segment from 2019, with more than 75,000 units produced.
It accounted for 17.4% of sales of the versions in 2022, placing it on the podium of European sales of electric SUVs in the B segment.
The revised PEUGEOT 2008 will go on sale in the summer of 2023 with a range based on three versions – ACTIVE, ALLURE, GT – and four engines, including a new 115kW/156bhp all-electric engine with a range of up to 406 km (WLTP combined cycle).
The electric PEUGEOT E-2008 model gains a new, more powerful engine already adopted by the E-208 and E-308. Maximum power is up 15% from 100 kW/136 hp to 115 kW/156 hp, while the battery is increased from 50 kWh to 54 kWh. A major effort on efficiency allows the increase in performance to be complemented by an increase in range, which reaches up to 406 km compared to 345 km previously.
Two types of on-board chargers are available on the new PEUGEOT E-2008, to suit all uses and all charging solutions: as standard, a single-phase 7.4kW charger and, as an option, a three-phase 11 kW charger.
Estimated recharge times from 20% to 80% are 30 minutes from a public charging point (100 kW), 4 hours and 40 minutes from a Wall Box (7.4kW) and 11 hours and 10 minutes from a reinforced socket (3.2 kW).
The new E-2008 now comes with the PEUGEOT i-Connect system as standard, and all the versions can be fitted with the PEUGEOT i-Connect Advanced system as an option.
Both are controlled via the central 10-inch high-definition touchscreen, which is easily customisable, multi-window with widgets or shortcuts, very easy to use and responsive like a smartphone. It’s easy to swipe through the menus from left to right, up and down for notifications or with a three-finger tap to bring up the application wall.
The PEUGEOT i-Connect system offers full connectivity through wireless mirroring (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto). The technological experience is complete with the PEUGEOT i-Connect Advanced, equipped with a high-performance TomTom connected navigation system. The map is displayed on the entire 10-inch screen for easy readability. The system is updated “over the air”.
The new PEUGEOT E-2008 is produced at the Vigo plant in Spain. It will go on sale in the summer of 2023.
