• Decent electric range with larger battery model planned for the future
• Comes with eight-warranty if serviced at a main dealer
• Unknowns around its reliability

What are the running costs?

At launch, the e-3008 is available exclusively with a 73kWh battery. It’s the largest battery yet to be fitted to an electric Peugeot and gives it an above-average claimed range of 326 miles – again, the most of any Peugeot to date.

Though currently not the longest range of an electric SUV in this class – a Skoda Enyaq and new Renault Scenic E-Tech can both travel further – this will change later in 2025 when Peugeot introduces a larger 98kWh battery that the firm promises will deliver a claimed 435 miles of range.

This promises to be particularly impressive for a car of this type, though we do have doubts about how this electric SUV will drive with an even larger and heavier battery fitted.

In testing on a mix of UK A- and B-roads, we averaged 3.6 miles per kilowatt hour (kWh) from the standard-battery version. This is middling for a vehicle of this size, but should mean the e-3008 is good for 260 miles, giving greater scope for long distances journeys than some rivals.

Peugeot also claims the e-3008 can charge at up to 160kW on the public network, enabling a 20-80% recharge in half an hour in ideal conditions with a fast enough charger. When replenishing the e-3008’s battery at home, a 7.4kW wallbox charge will take six hours to take the battery from 20 to 80%.

Servicing and warranty

The e-3008 was the first Peugeot available with what the firm calls ‘Allure Care’. This means all of the car’s key components are covered by a warranty lasting eight years and 100,000 miles, which could prove very useful for those keeping their vehicle a long time. Just note that Hyundai’s warranty might only be five years but there’s no mileage cap on it.

The stipulation here is that the e-3008 must be serviced by a Peugeot main dealer, and after every service, the customer gets a warranty extension for two years and 16,000 miles.

It’s a similar to the scheme that Toyota has offered for some time, and that recently introduced by Dacia; customers are happy as it gives them a long warranty and dealers are happy as it means more customers choose them over independent retailers.

Reliability

At the time of writing, the Peugeot e-3008 had only recently been introduced. Given it’s the first car to be based on Stellantis’ new platform, there are plenty of unknowns around its reliability, and it’s too early to make any predictions either way.
