Video Summary
Okay, here is the summary of the Peugeot e-2008 YouTube review:- The e-2008 has undergone a facelift.
- Styling tweaks include a larger grille, a Peugeot badge, and a body-colored grill finish, plus a new three-claw Peugeot light signature.
- The bumper is slightly different to incorporate the three-claw Peugeot light signature.
- There is a gloss black grill finish for the entry-level “Active” trim.
- Rear lights have been redesigned, and the Peugeot name is written across the length of the bootlid. The reversing camera is more integrated.
- Badge at the front, side, and rear of the car is now in a new type face and grey color.
- Two new paint finishes are offered, a new gray and a new white.
- The alloys are also new, but the entry level has steel wheels with trim stuck over them, but other trims get new alloys. GT also has a 18 inch 'Evissa' diamond cut alloy black mist wheels as an option.
- The infotainment system is now a ten-inch touchscreen as standard across the lineup, and the software is updated. The menu layouts have a better level of customization. Depending on the trim level, the screen has standard or high definition graphics.
- There are now new fabric and trim on the seats, Alcantara upholstery and heated front seats on higher trims.
- The driver display has two analog dials with a digital screen in the middle on the Active trim, but the Allure trim gets a 10-inch full digital display, and the GT trim has a 3D display.
- The rear seats are spacious with good headroom, but there is a big lump in the floor, which is disappointing. The car is however more practical than rivals the DS3 E-tense, and Vauxhall Mokka Electric.
- There has been no change to dimensions, or the boot space. At 434 liters, there is room for 5 carry on sized suitcases. There is an underfloor storage compartment.
- The electrical motor is now producing 154BHP.
- The usable battery capacity has increased.
- The WLTP range has increased from 214 miles in the old car, now to 250 miles, though the Niro EV and Smart #1 do get more range.
- The maximum charging rate has not changed at 100kW, and you can now have an 11 kW three-phase on board charger.
- There have been no mechanical changes, and it gives a comfortable ride. It does feel a little "wallowy" when going around corners.
- The trim lineup has been simplified.
- The entry level price has increased with the facelifted model, but isn’t the most expensive competitor, putting it in line with other rivals.
