When the current 308 launched, I immediately wondered, how are they going to beat this innovative and stunning design in the next generation? Well, with the evolutionary design of the new model they proved that they can be revolutionary every time. They have outdone themselves. Well done Peugeot!
The car looks absolutely fantastic. Stunningly beautiful. Great, futuristic interiors too. Peugeot have levelled up big time. That should be applauded.
Really liked our 3008 2019 model. We are definitely interested in the electric version for our next car after our Ioniq. Going to depend highly on price... Especially when a Tesla is competitive at those price points if correct.
There's a reason they are cheap. New model 3 doesn't even have indicator stalks, try indicating on a roundabout using steering wheel buttons! If the price was the same I'd go Peugeot all day long.
The other question is, do you want to finance musk's political agenda ? What do you think of him partially deactivating starlink to avoid upsetting putin ? What about his support of all the neo nazis, conspirationnists, homophobes, and all via twitter...X ? All good ?
My last fuel based car was a 2017 P3008, which I liked most of all 15 earlier cars I drove. Beautiful car, elegant inside, nice driving. I actually liked the iCockpit. After that I wanted to ‘go electric’ and ended up with the great Kia eNiro. A very good and efficient car, I will not return to fuel now, and intend to use most of the 7y guarentee period. But it stirs less emotion than the Peugeot. I fear for the price of this new 3008, but it definitively deserves another look if I would be in the market again ….
For the rest of the world that speaks metric, this comes up to these numbers: 700 km range Consumption needs to be 140Wh/km (14.0kWh/100km)to get such a range. (4.4 miles / kWh)
Looks like a genuinely interesting car, especially as my lease Mustang Mach-E finishes in 2024! That leads me to one point in the review! When you mentioned the competition on range, you didn't mention the Mustang Mach-E RWD which is rated at 380 miles, and delivers well in the real world. But the Peugeot does look very interesting. Thanks for the review.
Don’t care about what the wheels look like in motion. Omg drama!! Peugeot engineers all over this channel. Next someone will call it an astonishing design.
At last, some common sense i.e. thinking about range. With newer, sportier electric cars recently announced, what is the point of being able to go from 0-60 in less than 4 seconds when the car only has a range of about 200 miles, when the UK charging system is still pretty hopeless. Probably all advocates of those cars live in London and their longest journey is only 30 miles (and not sure where you can show off the 0-60 speed - probably on the M4 on the way to Heathrow to get their flight to Dubai, certainly not thinking about a holiday driving down to Cornwall). When charging an electric car takes the same time as filling up a car with petrol then range will not be an issue, but that won't be for many, many years.
One I've been watching for some time as I have a 2017 3008 and love it. Looks great, awesome range, lets see if they price themselves out of consideration or not.
There's nothing game changing about a nearly 100kwh battery coupled with an under powered piddly motor that only drives two wheels so it can't drain that battery too fast being able to go a reasonably long distance. Props to them for the design efforts, hopefully they can make it semi adorable, but they haven't changed the game.....at all.
Indeed! Takes longer to charge, costs more to charge. The only reason why ICE cars carry so much fuel that gives them range (historically) is because refuelling is inconvenient. You actually have to go somewhere to do it.
@@shroomyesc you're wrong. The long range model they're referring to as "game changing" has a massive battery and accelerates from 0-100 in about 9 seconds. Listen to it again.
@@lukeryan559 Okay, and? Your average ICE crossover takes like 10 seconds. 9 seconds is pretty normal and being a modern EV the pickup is probably better.
I'm really pleasantly surprised by this. My only issue with all of these cars becoming electric is their availability on the Motorbility scheme. The 3008 is a staple car on the scheme and has a decent enough deposit. This electric version is so expensive in comparison to buy that it either won't be available or it will have a deposit of thousands of pounds. We need more sensibly priced electric cars that every day people can afford and Motability will be able to stock.
If it looks like a brick, it won’t. There must be a peugeot engineer commenting on this channel. Called it astonishing lol. Astonishing in that peugeot engineers have no concept of aerodynamics.
@@MagicBox-k3dI have an IONIQ 5, average 4.1 miles/kWh - mostly slow city and B roads, much less on the motorway. Even at 4.1 with a 100kwh battery, you’re not going to hit the 435. And let’s face it, the time you really need the long range is road trips using motorways. I’m guessing closer to 350 in those conditions
@@MandyFlameI went to Wales and back on holiday in my MG4 a fortnight ago, all motorway, just drove normal speeds, even faster at some points, climate on auto to not get too warm. 500 miles round trip, 4.1 KWH.
Great review, as usual Ginny. Not sure it's a game changer in the wider EV community, maybe for Peugeot themselves, but a welcome addition to the ever growing range of mid-size EVs. One things for sure you somehow definitely managed to p**s off that woman waiting behind you to clean the car for the next journalist..😂
Aerodynamics more affected by rear styling as well hence fastback design so air leaves car cleanly without turbulence creating a backwards drag on the car. Hence Teardrop designs. Trouble is Peugeot have forgotten an SUV was originally chosen as a large load carrier. Fastback styling ruins this practicality.
@@yitzele that’s because they are now including the space below the boot floor as she said boot space would be less in dual motor model. It is just PR spin to con you into thinking it is as good as before. It can’t have the full height over most of the boot floor like before due to sloping roof. It is design over function.
A big battery means longer charging times, not so much range, things don’t always scale in that dimension. What you want is a small battery with a very efficient electric motor. Given their 0-100 figures I can already guess this isn’t a very efficient car, given the size of that battery for the long range vehicle.
Kindly asking: if you post a video on a global platform and mention range, would you mind showing or mentioning it in metric too? The whole world is not only UK and USA.
Not sure what the rest of the country is like but around Yorkshire most of the dealerships have disappeared. I have a 5008 and it's a right pain servicing it etc
Just beautiful and outstanding design both interior and exterior .... Nothing comes close to such a beautiful Peugeot 3008 E. Just subscribed to your channel .... I will buy the Peugeot 3008 E in a heartbeat xoxoxo
Peugeot are starting to make good looking cars and if those range figures are accurate, wow, it is a game changer. As an aside, walking around the rear of the car looked like it was either the camera lens / angle or has Ginny shrunk, or..... is the E Peugeot 3008 HUGE!! 🤣
"starting to make good looking cars"....Excuse me, have you been sleeping for 10 years ? Peugeot has been making GREAT looking cars since 2014. The 508, the 2008, 3008, etc... They have levelled up big time since 2012-2014. Time to wake up and smell the coffee.
@@anonymouspdg6121 No, it's not. Peugeot have won countless awards in multiple countries since 2012, "car of the year", etc... "Most beautiful design", etc... their cars sell very well in all Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, Austria. Do some research before posting comments online, thank you very much.
You are right, Peugeot have won many awards but then so have many other manufacturers, Audi, BMW, Nissan, Toyota, Volvo, VW etc.etc. Who is to say which of these is the 'best car'? That's what makes this all so interesting and fun, they all have their own style, strengths and weaknesses. We all have our own opinions, feelings and needs about what is the best car. The variety of manufacturers exist because they meet these differences of opinions. There is no right or wrong, and this is how it should be. 🙂
I don't believe the official range for a second but 98 kWh should be enough to do acceptable distances between stops on a long holiday drive, which would be quite relevant to a lot of prospective clients in mainland Europe. A cabin where young kids can comfortably stay for 2-3 hour stints, without dipping too far below 20% range and thus have more options of when and where to stop to charge.
I had an ICE 3008 before my E C4 and a very good car it was too. However I really don't like those screens stuck on top of the dash. Also WHY has it suddenly become a thing to have black headlining? So depressing and claustrophobic. Renault started this in the Megane E Tech, the new Kona has it for the UK market (not apparently in Ireland and certainly not in Korea) and now this and the new Scenic. I don't want to drive around in the dark!
Great review, thanks Ginny. I noticed you looked totally dwarfed by the front seats when you were sitting in the back. Might not be the greatest car if your rear occupants are prone to car sickness.
We will have our current Citroën ë-c4 for another 2 years but I do like to keep an eye on potential replacements when the time comes. The current favourite would probably be the Skoda Enyaq but this one might replace it. Looking forward to seeing the full reviews
how are you satisfied with C4? cause, I believe that it is unfairly overlooked and unappreciated car by the general public.... I like its a bit "left field" design and a comfort oriented philosophy, and I might change my slightly aging DS3 for it...
@@mirkozlikovski9553 it's been great. It wasn't on our list at first because I was wanting a "ground up" EV. But I then started watching some reviews and thought it would work for us. It was a very quiet and comfortable drive. The Citroën app is not great but we live with that
Just some anicdotal evidence, but the neighbour has a Enyaq as a company car and has nothing but trouble with it. it's been replaced 3 times already, won't charge, they take it away update the software, works for a few weeks then breaks again. Replace and repeat.
@@asambi69 My Enyaq hasn't been that bad, but the heat pump compressor died after 3 days & took over a month to fix (after an 11month delivery!) the software and app are garbage and they want me to pay £270 to switch on auto dipping headlights! A shame because it's a lovely car to drive, better quality than the ID.4 and more interesting than the Q4. If I bought it now it would be the same price as a Model Y so just no contest. The future looks cloudy for VAG.
I’ve just ordered one on Motability and cannot wait for it to arrive. Motability are even installing a charging unit at our home for no extra cost. I strongly advise if you are in the scheme to move to electric as your next lease due to the combustion engine being phased out in the next 6-8 yrs. so new cars will be electric.
IMO range is not the most important. And it is not acceleration either. It is the infrastructure. The infrastructure is crucial for comfortable journeys across Europe. Currently, there is only one brand that really cares about this aspect of the customer experience. I have been driving across Europe in 3 different EV, now I have fourth one (TMY) and I finally can travel stress-free. 👍
Well, I own a 2018 BMW i3 94 Ah with (only) 245 km range) and I have travelled stress free from Holland to the north of Italy and back. In fact it was a more zen experience then all the time I made this trip in an ICE care.
thats just brilliantly designed car, inside and out, definitely on my wishlist for my next electric car (hopefully by then it will be bit cheaper than that possible starting price of mid 40k)
Did i miss the stated size of battery to achieve 435 miles?? I mean a vehicle that size/weight/front end is lucky to get 3.5 miles per KW at best in the summer at a reasonable speed. 435/3.5= 124KW pack?? if it's just a 100KW pack it'll only be getting 350 miles at best.
I'm from California, but I imagine we will get these re-branded. Stellantis has a big HeadStart over GM/Ford. Nice videos with proper English lass in a dress, very nice.
It looks great. Isn’t it funny that digital displays/screens (and TVs) are still measured in inches (not metric). Two important questions: towing limit? And how dog-friendly is the boot? There aren’t many EVs with decent room for my golden retriever!
Good review of an interesting car. The key test will be how the long range version drives with all that extra weight.. Also the Stellantis group has grouped together a lot of car manufacturers that have a history of poor reliability so hope that is now sorted. Design wise it looks good
A 98 kWh battery and a range of 435 miles/700 km means a consumption of 225 Wh per mile or 140 Wh per km. That means it needs a 140 kWh battery to reach the magical 1 000 km range that a lot of diesel cars have. Maybe once we get solid state batteries that can be achieved on such a small car.
Peugeot are experts at interiors, I am always impressed but I am often disappointed in the electrics. We will see what its real world numbers are like and how much they have improved. I they pull it off then it is actually looking pretty good for the French car industry.
I’d be absolutely shocked if this vehicle ever reached that claimed mileage. Tesla model S long range is looking at around 400 miles with a similar size battery, & that is one of the most efficient EV’s out there with battery tech & crazy efficient motors. It’s also way more aerodynamic than this Peugeot. Batteries are the most expensive part of an EV too, so I can’t see this priced in the £40 k’s with that size battery - more likely in the £60 k’s. Who’d buy this over a Model Y? With way more functionality, reliability, performance in any spec, charging network & reliability, & a company likely to be in existence for decades to come, unlike Stelantis who appear doomed in their current form.
It’s possible because it is a lot slower , because just like the EQXX Mercedes claimed they could achieve the crazy 747miles because it sacrifices acceleration and power output for efficiency and range. The Tesla variants are very efficient but also are x2 faster or more than this e3008 on standard acceleration settings.
