Peugeot e-2008 Has Been Upgraded For 2024 Model Year
After 3 years of having the B-segment SUV market pretty much to itself, the much-liked Peugeot e-2008 gets a well-deserved update – meet the new Peugeot e-2008 2024. The competition is growing stronger and EV technology is improving at an unstoppable pace – 3 years in the life of an electric car feels like a generation.
So, what’s new? Starting with the most obvious – gone is the sabertooth light signature replaced with the new Peugeot-wide “claw” design – three vertical LEDs on each side of the front bumper. The grille is larger as well and although headlights have the same shape, now they come with a triple LED assembly. Rear vertical lights are now replaced with the horizontal arrangement – still tiny in its size but surprisingly bright.
The powertrain and battery get a decent update as well – the battery grows to 54 kWh (4 kWh more) and the electric motor gets a 15% power boost to 156 hp (115 kW) – that’s 20 hp more. The range is extended from the current 331 km all the way to 406 km on the WLTP mixed cycle – that’s a decent step-up achieved not only by having a bigger battery but thanks by the improved powertrain efficiency.
The DC fast-charging times remain unchanged – the e-2008 supports up to 100 kW charging speed and can top up its battery in about 30 minutes from 10 to 80% SoC. Charging at home from a 7.4 kW Wall Box takes 4 hours and 40 minutes which is nearly 3 hours quicker than before – that’s a huge improvement.
Since this is a refresh, there are new wheel designs and new body colors, the interior benefits from new fabrics which include Alcantara as an option – e-2008 is moving upmarket. The interior benefits from a new digital instrument cluster on Allure and GT versions and the 7-inch screen from the current model is replaced with a much more convenient 10-inch unit.
The all-new freshly refreshed e-2008 goes into production at the Spanish Vigo factory as you read this and will go on sale this summer.
