Dynamic e-2008 launches in Australia PEUGEOT’s first fully electric SUV to land locally
The PEUGEOT e-2008 Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) debuts in Australia’s burgeoning electric vehicle segment offering power, efficiency, and style in one impressive package. With its advanced electric drivetrain, spacious interior, and cutting-edge technology, the e-2008 SUV also represents PEUGEOT Australia’s first-ever battery electric passenger vehicle.
At the heart of the e-2008 SUV is its state-of-the-art electric motor and 50 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, delivering a maximum power output of 100 kilowatts and 260 newton-metres of torque. The benefits of its electric driveline include instant acceleration and a smooth, quiet ride. Multiple driving modes, including Normal, Eco, and Sport, allow drivers to tailor their experience to take maximum advantage of the e-2008’s potent drivetrain.
The e-2008 SUV excels not only in performance but also in practicality, offering a generous 434 litres of boot space, expanding to 1,467 litres with the rear seats folded down. The interior is thoughtfully designed with numerous storage compartments and comfort features.
The e-2008 comes with a WLTP test range of 328 kilometres2. Charging the e-2008 SUV is easy with both AC and DC charging capability. Charging from zero-to-80 per cent via a 100kW DC fast charger takes approximately 30 minutes, whereas charging via a three-phase wall-box from zero-to-100 per cent takes approximately five hours3.
The exterior styling of the PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV is a harmonious blend of modernity, elegance, and sportiness. With sleek lines, bold features, and uncompromised attention to detail, this electric SUV stands out from the crowd.
The interior styling of the e-2008 SUV reflects PEUGEOT’s commitment to creating a comfortable and modern driving environment. With its sophisticated design, premium materials, advanced technology, and attention to detail, the e-2008 SUV’s interior sets it apart in the compact SUV segment.
The e-2008 SUV is equipped with PEUGEOT’s innovative i-Cockpit™, which includes a compact steering wheel, a customisable 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and a heads-up display. This driver-focused cockpit enhances visibility and ergonomics, providing a more engaging and enjoyable driving experience.
A favourite of PEUGEOT customers worldwide, the e-2008 features the exceptional interior design concept, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit™. Updated for the 2008, the fifth generation, i-Cockpit™ features a 3D display that projects information in hologram form. This prioritises information closer to the driver’s eyeline, improving reaction time.
The PEUGEOT e-CMP platform has brought about a significant transformation in the compact SUV segment with the introduction of the PEUGEOT e-2008. This platform, specifically designed for electric vehicles, offers exceptional performance, advanced technology, and a sleek design, providing an unparalleled driving experience.
The e-2008 SUV offers multiple driving modes to suit different preferences and driving conditions. In Normal mode, the vehicle delivers a balanced and efficient performance. In Eco mode, the power output is optimised for maximum range, perfect for longer journeys or when conserving energy is a priority. For those seeking a more dynamic driving experience, the Sport mode provides enhanced responsiveness and acceleration.
Furthermore, two modes of energy recovery when braking are available and accessible directly from the gear selector:
- Drive (“D”), recovery is standard, for driving similar to an internal combustion vehicle; and
- Brake (“B”), recovery allows deceleration directly from the accelerator pedal.
The e-2008 SUV is PEUGEOT’s first 100% electric passenger vehicle to launch in Australia, joining the recently launched e-Partner light-commercial vehicle (LCV).

2 Figure based on WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) static laboratory combined average city and highway cycle test, which measure, energy consumption, range and emissions in passenger vehicles, figures stated for the purposes of comparison amongst vehicles tested to the same technical procedures only. Actual real world range results will vary depending on a combination of factors including but not limited to load, driving style, type of journey, vehicle configuration, battery age and condition, use of vehicle features (such as heating and air conditioning), as well as operating, environmental and climate conditions.
3 Charging times will vary depending on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, the output of the charger being used, starting battery charge, charging equipment, ambient temperature, battery state as well as the age of the battery at point of use. As a result of these factors, charging times may therefore vary significantly.
