New Peugeot e-3008 Review - BIG electric SUV with even BIGGER range!

[@dokken1212]

I have just bought the GT model yesterday and there is a 2 month lead time which is fine as happy to wait for such a beautiful car. We ordered the white version of the GT same as you were driving but to be honest all the colours are quite nice. The key features for us were range, comfort and what we felt was value for money. Overall, we were impressed with it and my partner is very small and she loves it. Cant wait to get our hands on it :-). Great review.

[@Squizzyjmh-go8hj]

I ordered mine straight off my test drive on the 8th July, officially Peugeot estimate I’ll get it around November 25th but dealer reckons it’ll be around mid September. I went for the GT in obsession blue.

[@dokken1212]

@@Squizzyjmh-go8hj good to know as we were told 2-3 months for delivery. So that's good that it may be a bit earlier. Obsession Blue is a cracking colour too - was the colour I wanted but I got overruled by the Mrs for the white one lol

[@wagnermalo8022]

I also went for the white GT with pano roof and heatpump after cancelling the obsession blue. Ordered in May and they said I could pick it up in one of these days... I can't wait.

I have just ordered mine the car is so nice to drive and very easy my partner was unsure because of its size and her being quite small but she loved it and drove it like a pro. For me i have always liked loud exhausts fast cars i drive an S3 at the minute and always said i would never go to electric but i fell in love with it too and will be saying goodbye to my beloved S3 but its staying in the family so will see it anyway.

I test drove this last week and having never driven an electric car before I can't compare with others but against my petrol 2008 it feels very nice and comfortable ride. I don't need much more than that really

Great video - can’t believe that is a Peguot, so expensive look

[@alastairkeith8553]

Disappointing that it is not on a bespoke EV platform as this leads to an inefficiency and compromise. Also it is crazy expensive - what are they thinking 😮

[@garypollard]

Actually it is, it’s built on the Stellantis Medium EV platform.

[@alastairkeith8553]

@@garypollard it’s hardly a bespoke EV platform if they offer it as a hybrid as well - it’s just compromised from the start.

[@sunnyd6291]

Drove it ....its too heavy and power is too low because of these ev weight ....smooth ride and quiet though and practical

[@Skybar23]

I wish more car makers embraced the one long display screen.AND custom made options..its just makes easier viewing experience when driving. The 2 seperate screen in most cars today looks dated

[@ISuperTed]

Nice looking car but far too expensive to lease on our company scheme - more than a Model Y RWD. I guess that’s due to the forecasted horrendous depreciation. Whilst I really like the car (we already have a Stellantis EV), no one is going to buy them at anywhere near that list price, it’s completely unrealistic.

Dont be surprised if all 3 of you get your dates pushed back

[@geoffmorris1769]

Can you switch off LKA?

[@beejaybhatt]

Yes you can. I’m buying one and I have heard that it can be a pain in around town! Hope that helps.!

[@obopileboikanyogaborone9279]

Not Stellantis group copy paste Alfa Romeo Junior exterior😮‍💨

[@mattrichardson3706]

I think its a mild hybrid not a plug in

[@ChorleyGroup]

They've got a Self-Charging Hybrid available now, as well as the EV, but there's a PHEV coming in a couple of months too.

[@wimd4964]

I almost fell asleep testdriving it, it is that boring.

[@allanbriggs9007]

It's a car - a form of transport - not entertainment!!!!

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@wimd4964 How about some actual evidence or examples.

[@wimd4964]

@@allanbriggs9007 poor acceleration, poor cornering, poor suspension setup, as I said above, driving dynamics in general make it a very boring car. If they want to put a German price tag on it, they better up their game. Also the seat ventilation is way too loud. The OS is already dated and limited. The very grey interior also makes it boring for me , design looked great at first but too old fashioned material wise and color wise, not very lively. Great car if you're +65 maybe... The dynamic itoggles are great and inventive but in general other cars have a way more complete package for the value.

[@allanbriggs9007]

@@wimd4964 I bought a Peugeot 3008 last year. A 2022 GT model with the 2.0L diesel engine (ex demo). I must admit I am not a fan of EV's at the moment - too heavy and batteries haven't been perfected. I admit I haven't driven the EV model. The diesel engine has plenty of power and at least 1000km fuel range. Mine has the normal 18" wheels rather than the 19" low profiles. They are not suitable on some of our roads (Australia). I must admit I like the design of my model and the interior (with full leather seats) is excellent. I do like the single instrument panel in the new model (mine has an instrument panel and a separate touchscreen)
The 2.0L diesel handles very well for a mid size SUV. I am a very hard driver so good handling is something I need. I did drive the VW and Kia before buying the Peugeot.
