RAY MASSEY: Peugeot e-3008 has a 326-mile range

Question

The new Peugeot e-3008 may not be the spiciest of motoring experiences — but it will appeal to many family tastebuds.

Described as the French firm's 'next-level' fastback SUV, it's an all-electric, zero-emissions car in a new range of 3008 variants.

For those seeking a flexible, spacious and well-stocked car that will attract admiring glances, it has sophisticated looks both inside and out.

The five-seater, front-wheel drive e-3008 is the first car from Peugeot's parent company Stellantis (which also owns Citroen, Vauxhall, Alfa Romeo and Jeep) to use a new electric platform.

I drove the 210hp (73kWh) single-motor e-3008 GT, the higher of two trim levels. It accelerates from 0 to 62mph in 8.8 seconds, up to a top speed of 105mph with a range of 326 miles. It comes in a metallic shade called Obsession Blue.




Sophisticated: The Peugeot e-3008 is attractive, sprightly and comes in an all-electric version

At the heart of its interior is a panoramic, curved 21-inch touchscreen dashboard and a digital driver's instrument cluster. Running on 20-inch wheels, it proved sprightly on hilly country lanes and fast roads, with sufficient pulling power for a family.

It comes with a hefty £49,650 price tag on top of which are a host of extras, including a heat pump to help pre-warm the battery in cold weather (£700); a 360-degree camera-assisted driver pack to help with blind spots (£600); Nappa leather seats (£1,600), and a 'sensation pack' (£1,200) which bundles up a panoramic, split-opening sunroof, Chillwell 2.0 Experience and a premium hi-fi and air quality management system.

There are finance deals which help make monthly payments more affordable. Prices for the electric e-3008 in the base Allure trim start from £45,850. 

By contrast, the 136hp petrol-electric hybrid version with a dual-clutch six-speed automatic gearbox is £11,190 cheaper, from £34,660 in the base Allure trim.

The e-3008 has an 11kW AC charger as standard and 22kW as an option. The DC rapid charging allows standard-range batteries to be recharged up to 80 per cent in just 20 minutes.
