Model update

Peugeot electric revolution continues with the all-new 2008 SUV & E-2008 SUV

The all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV will be the second vehicle to follow the ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain’ philosophy when it arrives later this year. The all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV will be available with a choice of 100% electric, petrol or diesel powertrains.

Combining class-leading levels of technology, an instinctive driving experience and sharp design, the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV will offer a unique proposition in the compact SUV segment.

The all-new 2008 SUV features PEUGEOT’s latest 3D i-Cockpit® with hologram technology and a state-of-the art head-up display, increasing driver reaction times.

A POWERTRAIN FOR EVERY OCCASION
The all-new e-2008 SUV is powered by a 100kW (136bhp) electric motor and 50kWh battery. Under WLTP testing, the 100% electric zero-emission SUV will achieve 193 miles of range.

Capable of supporting 100kW rapid charging technology, an 80% charge will take just 30 minutes, while a full charge using conventional 7.4kW and 11kW fast chargers will take between eight hours and five hours.

With the MyPeugeot® app, owners will be able to pre-set the charging times, heating and air conditioning on their all-new e-2008 SUV, as well as check its current charge level remotely.

The all-new e-2008 SUV will feature two forms of energy recovery. Selecting Drive “D” recovery from the drive selector will feel similar to driving a standard diesel or petrol model, while Brake “B” provides more regenerative braking when lifting off the accelerator.

A series of unique styling cues help set the all-new e-2008 SUV apart from its petrol and diesel counterparts:

A sparkling dichroic Lion emblem, with reflections alternating between green and blue depending on the angle of view

An “e” monogram on the front side panel and tailgate.

A body coloured chequered front grille

Exclusive seat upholstery in Alcantara© on the e-2008 SUV GT

Animation of specific information illustrating the operation of the powertrain in real time, accessed through the 3D digital instrument panel and can also be projected, like a hologram, via the colour

The 50kWh battery is positioned under the floor of the all-new e-2008 SUV, so there’s no compromise to boot or interior space whichever powertrain is selected.

PEUGEOT’S EV SERVICES

Supporting motorists looking to make the transition towards electric, PEUGEOT will be launching new services to coincide with the arrival of the all-new PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV. PEUGEOT’s new electric focussed service includes:

Easy-Charge:

Public charge offering via Free2Move Services, including a charge pass giving access to public charging points across Europe: drivers are able to pre-select terminals according to distance, speed and price of recharging.

Easy-Mobility:

Mobility Pass: extended mobility by means of a pass for a rental internal combustion engine when needed

E-coaching: a tool in the MyPeugeot app that allows drivers to receive advice on how to optimise their driving and the range of the all-new PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV

Serenity: aiming to reassure drivers in their EV discovery process and let them enjoy their car in complete peace of mind :

Special service contracts and road-side assistance, which may be included in a single finance package, to ensure peace of mind at all times

Battery capacity certificate to facilitate vehicle resale with a guarantee of the vehicle’s battery charge capacity

The all-new e-2008 SUV is the second 100% electric vehicle from PEUGEOT, following from the all-new e-208 announced earlier this year. PEUGEOT has pledged that by 2023, its entire model line-up will feature an electrified version.

ALL-NEW PEUGEOT 2008 SUV PETROL AND DIESEL MODELS

The all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV features the latest Euro 6d petrol and diesel engines. There will be three petrol and one diesel engines to choose from, based on PEUGEOT’s three-cylinder 1.2 PureTech petrol engine and the four-cylinder 1.5 BlueHDi diesel.

Petrol:

2L PureTech 100 S&S 6-speed manual

2L PureTech 130 S&S 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic

2L PureTech 155 S&S 8-speed automatic (only for GT trim)

Diesel

5L BlueHDi 100 S&S 6-speed manual

Since 2017, PEUGEOT models have met the Real Driving Emissions (RDE) with a compliance factor of 1.5 instead of the current, permitted, 2.1 conformity factor – three years ahead of the regulation deadline.

DESIGN & SPACE

Available in Active, Allure, GT Line and GT trim levels, both the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV and all-new e-2008 SUV are an extension of the current PEUGEOT design philosophy, featuring sharp angles and distinctive looks.

GT Line and GT models will be set apart with the following styling cues:

Full LED rear lights with three-claw signature

Diamond cut aerodynamic 18-inch aluminium wheels with coloured inserts

Interior with black trim and Adamite colour stitching, mood lighting, dynamic seats and aluminium pedals

The all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV and all-new e-2008 SUV will be available in a range of vibrant colours, including a new and exclusive metallic paint, Fusion Orange.

Built on the new Common Modular Platform (CMP), the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV is 4.3m long (14cm longer than its predecessor), 1.7m wide and 1.54m high.

Practicality comes as standard and the 360L boot volume is the same across all powertrain choices.

Inside, the innovative use of colours and materials create a modern and stylish environment. The interior environment can also be personalised with a choice of 8 RGB LED colours.

David Peel, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK said: “The all-new 2008 SUV is the second vehicle introduced into the PEUGEOT range where the customer can choose from a conventional petrol or diesel engine, or a 100% electric variant without compromising on technology, looks or driving sensations. We strongly believe in choosing your PEUGEOT and then choosing your powertrain. The all-new 2008 SUV is also another step forward in our commitment of having an electrified version, across our entire PEUGEOT range, by 2023.”
