Performance & Driving Experience

The e-5008 73 kWh FWD isn't a rocket ship, but it's certainly no slouch. It'll do the 0-100 km/h dash in a respectable 9 seconds. Power comes from a single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) driving the front wheels, delivering 157 kW (that's about 210hp in old money) and a healthy 345 Nm of torque. Expect a smooth, refined, and quiet driving experience, perfect for family duties. It should cruise effortlessly on the motorway and be easy to pilot around town, with selectable regenerative braking modes to help claw back some energy.

Range, Battery & Charging

Energy efficiency is rated at a decent 5.85 km/kWh. For top-ups, it features a CCS Type 2 port. AC charging is handled by an 11 kW on-board charger, meaning a full charge takes roughly 7 hours overnight.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Peugeot offers its impressive "Allure Care" program for the e-5008, potentially covering key components like the electric motor and powertrain for up to 8 years or 160,000 km, provided you stick to their servicing schedule. The crucial battery pack itself comes with a standard warranty, typically 8 years or 160,000 km, guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. As an EV, routine maintenance costs should be lower than a petrol or diesel equivalent, with fewer moving parts to worry about, making it a sensible long-term proposition.
