While many automakers struggle to deliver truly long-range electric vehicles, Peugeot has boldly entered the premium EV market with two impressive offerings that redefine expectations. The E-3008 and e-5008 models deliver remarkable range figures that place them squarely in Tesla territory, with the E-3008 achieving up to 435 miles on a single charge when equipped with its extended-range battery option.
Peugeot’s E-3008 and e-5008 models redefine electric range expectations, rivaling Tesla with up to 435 miles on a single charge.
The larger e-5008 doesn’t lag far behind, offering 415 miles of range in its extended-range configuration utilizing a substantial 98kWh battery pack. Even the entry-level e-5008 provides a respectable 310 miles from its 73kWh unit. I’ve examined numerous EVs in this segment, and these figures represent a significant leap forward for mainstream manufacturers. Even in cold weather conditions, these Peugeot models should maintain excellent performance with minimal range reduction compared to many competitors in the market.
Charging capabilities match this impressive range, with rapid 0-80% charging completed in just 30 minutes when connected to compatible DC fast chargers operating at 150-175kW. The dual-motor e-5008 delivers a punchy 321bhp, translating to a 0-62mph time of 6.5 seconds—perfectly adequate for a family-focused seven-seater. The Dual Motor variant features stiffer suspension and an enhanced anti-roll bar for improved handling despite the vehicle’s weight.
Inside, Peugeot has implemented its signature Panoramic i-Cockpit featuring a sweeping 21-inch curved display, complementing the E-3008’s fastback silhouette and aerodynamic exterior design. Customers can choose from multiple powertrain options including 100% electric, Plug-in Hybrid, and Hybrid configurations to suit their driving needs. The e-5008’s seven-seat configuration addresses a significant gap in the electric market, offering families a zero-emission alternative without compromising on space.
Priced from £45,950 for the E-3008, Peugeot has positioned these vehicles competitively against established rivals like the Tesla Model Y and Volkswagen ID.4. The combination of range, technology, and versatility creates a compelling package that deserves serious consideration.
Both models feature extensive driver assistance systems, intuitive controls, and smartphone integration. The E-3008 launches in 2025 with immediate ordering availability, while the e-5008 follows later that year.
With these two offerings, Peugeot has crafted genuine alternatives to Tesla that deliver on the promise of practical, long-range electric motoring.
