It's worth noting that the final units of the Peugeot e-2008 went on a runout sale of just $39,990. However, this was after I filmed this review. For that price, you have a very competitive and upmarket electric SUV that I'd pick out of most EVs at that price point. BUT at it's orginal sale price of $59,990, I felt it was not providing the value that other EVs offered at that price range. Additionally, I wouldn't want to be an owner who bought one at the original price as their car just depreciated like a stone after that offer was announced. - Cameron
The cruise control stalk being hidden is surely troublesome, but if you own a peugeot it will take you about 3 minutes to learn, and after 2 or 3 rides its definitely not a problem since you'll have it instinctively memorized. I would say this is mostly a reviewers problem, not a problem for anyone meaning to actually drive this car. Same thing with the small steering wheel and position of the gauge above it. thanks for a very good review!
Fair enough, different for everyone - just sharing my opinion of course. Spent a bit of seat time in some Peugeots, and found these ergonomic issues to carry over tbh. But thank you for watching!
I really get the shits up when an EV is front wheel drive, smacks of cheap internal combustion packaging, everyone knows RWD is superior in conditions outside of snow, even then, the instant torque control makes RWD fine in the snow. Suede seats are the best. This is in the end a $40k car. How they think anyone would pick this over the Model 3 for the same price is insane.
FWD setups can work for some EVs, but I agree that for the most part, it's been proven that a RWD setup works best if the platform allows. Will be interesting to see what the next generation e-2008 will bring in terms of driving dynamics and price.
Olá Cameron !! . . . Gostei muito da sua apresentação. . . Vc sabe informar a data em que ocorreu o lançamento do e-2008 na Austrália ?? . . . Vc sabe informar, também, em que mês e ano ele foi oferecido por US$ 39.990 ?? . . . Desde já lhe agradeço pela atenção. . .
Thank you! Looks like it was during the months of May and June where it was advertised for $39,990 here in Australia. But looks like all stock at that price has dried up as the updated e-2008 makes its way here soon.
@@ProductReviewCars . . . Olá Cameron !! . . . Obrigado pela resposta. . . mas, vc sabe informar a data (mês e ano) em que o e-2008 foi lançado na Austrália ?? . . . (aqui no Brasil ele foi lançado em novembro de 2022)
Maybe a disclaimer should've been added to this story guys, Peugeot Australia (Inchcape) actually discounted the price of this vehicle on Monday 6th May 2024 by $25,000AUD, making it $40,000AUD Drive Away and in 4 days they sold their entire 2024 stock! They now have no stock until the facelifted E-2008 arrives at the beginning of 2025! This should be a massive wake up call for Peugeot Australia in the way they price their vehicles! If they want to move metal, then they need to price their vehicles accordingly. This was a great example for them!
I was about to include this in the video, but by the time I had this scheduled to publish, the stock was all gone. And, I wanted to report on this car at the price it was originally selling for. It'll be very interesting to see how they price the new e-2008 as a result.
I don't agree with your view on Peugeot motors/engines. They are pretty reliable!!! the worst part of PSA brands reliability ( at least in Europe) concerns doors hinge quality; specially in cars until 2015; after 8 years usage they will give you trouble 😅. The price tag in your market is bunkers
Oh that's not my opinion. It's based off data from owners from our site, ProductReview.com.au. Who review cars they've bought and lived with. Not to say, you can't get a reliable motor, but there seems to be a general sentiment they can have some issues.

I totally appreciate your honesty and great reviews

Another excellent review from the best reviewer.
Very kind words, appreciate the support!

But most importend thing buying an ev is,inever a Tesla,no matter what!
Because they don't care about you and the rest of the world gets a better version 😂

It’s $40k now and we still chose a MG4 as it drove way better.

absolutely, after a few visits i think they view themselves as a luxury brand

USB-A ports on a 2024 car is criminal
my antique charging cable begs to differ, however choice would be nice :)
It's about to be updated, so this was just a carry-over from older 2008 models
Olá amigo Cameron !!
