What has changed
Four years after the launch of the second generation on the market, the Peugeot 2008 Renewed: The design is not deformed, but they arrived, especially in the front Many novelties for the headlights (with new position lamps consisting of three vertical LEDs) and for the grille, with the new Peugeot logo and side additions that make it appear larger. Detail changes also in the rear area where the design of the lights changes, no longer consisting of three vertical lights, but by new horizontal ‘strip’ elements. L’cockpitalways very originalespecially in the design of the dashboard, has not changed fundamentally, but now – standard on all versions – there is a multimedia system with a 10-inch touch screen with wireless connections to smartphones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Electric has a new heart
Changes to the current variant are more fundamental Peugeot e-2008Battery capacity has grown to 48.1 kWh (already usable) and a new electric motor is under the hood. It’s the same drive from 156 hp and 260 Nm of torque that equips several recent models from Leon and the entire Stellantis range such as the Peugeot e-308 and Jeep Avenger. It has 20bhp more than the previous 136bhp e-2008 (which is still listed at €1,500 less with the same setup) and promises Increased efficiency. When driving, this extra power isn’t immediately noticeable – only in Sport mode does the engine deliver its maximum horsepower – but the performance is more than adequate for the type of vehicle (“0-100” in 9.1 seconds and 150 km/h top speed) and the shots aren’t lacking. to the starting point.
Go further
It is impossible to draw conclusions about autonomy after a few hundred kilometers traveled at the wheel Peugeot e-2008, but the first information collected by the car’s trip computer is interesting: despite the heavy use of the air conditioner due to the high ambient temperatures (around 38 degrees) and the many stretches of motorway, the indicated consumption was close to 6 km/kWh, for a Total over 300 km. In more favorable conditions, according to the Wltp combined cycle, 406 km can be covered between one “full tank” and the other against the 340 km declared by the 136 hp version. Unchanged compared to previous methods and timing recharge: Accepts Peugeot e-2008 AC up to 7.4 kW As standard (11 kW charger is an option) and direct current from the ultra-fast poles up to 100 kW, enough to go from 20 to 80% battery in about half an hour.
crossover fit (up to four)
Leadership Peugeot e-2008 It confirms all the advantages of the pre-restyling version: the ride comfort is high, and the suspension absorbs roughnesses of the road surface well, without being inconsistent with the full stability advantage. Steering control, light, is precise enough and becomes more consistent in Sport mode. The silence is great even at highway speeds where there isn’t much rustling. L’The cockpit has been carefully designed: solid in clumps and wide. There is no shortage of centimeters even for those sitting on the sides of the sofa for both head and legs. It’s a pity that the steering wheel’s limited travel in height forces you to find some compromises in the driving position and that the center console robs some comfort from the fifth passenger. The trunk is roomy and has regular shapes: the bottom is adjustable in two heights, but there are no hooks for bags and the side parts of the cabin are covered with hard plastic.
how much does it cost
price list Peugeot 2008 The update starts at 25,850 euros for the internal combustion engines and 38,150 euros for the 2008 e-car with 136 hp. For the 156-horsepower test version and the new battery pack, it costs at least 39,600 euros to 41,900 euros for the richest. GT version. The latter offers a lot as standard: from the digital dashboard to the rearview camera via the full LED headlights. It is a pity, however, that we still had to get our hands on the wallet for some important features such as the 11 kW onboard charger (400 euros), adaptive cruise control (300 euros) and navigator (400 euros).
in our opinion
please
> comfort. The pits and manholes are properly filtered. Silence is also good
> finishes. The cabin is made carefully: there are soft-touch materials
> Guide. The suspension, without being harsh, ensures a remarkably quiet cornering. The electric motor, therefore, provides great fluidity of motion.
flaws
> gift or grant. The top-of-the-range GT trim level offers a lot more as standard, but some of the most important accessories are paid for separately, such as the 11kW charger, navigator and adaptive cruise.
> driving position. The steering wheel’s limited travel in height forces some compromises, especially for taller riders.
> Fifth place. It is not too wide and offers little legroom and feet.
