2021 Peugeot 2008 & electric e-2008 review - is this the best electric small SUV? | What Car?

This e-2008 is gonna be an big hit in Norway! For sure. We do love our crossovers and EV’s.

indeed.. reminds me of the good ol days where I owned and drove 206 - it was in our family amost 18 years / 370.000 kms.. love the design of the 206.. interior wise PSA group cars have improved big time since then..

They don't actually bring them to the dealerships, it is just for show.

Philip Manolas oh really? How can 50% of the new car sales in Norway be fully electric if they don’t bring the cars in to the dealerships? Maybe in some other countries but it’s not for the whole of Europe

Brilliant honest review ... I absolutely love the new Peugeot 2008 GT

[@bonzobanana1]

Stunning styling, absolutely gorgeous. I look for great value in cars and this doesn't seem the best option in that regard but have to give great credit to the designer a pleasure to look at. I'll enjoy looking at other people's from my cheaper car. Cars depreciate so fast that you are throwing away thousands so quickly. How long before its lost 40-60% of its value, 3 years or something. This probably makes a lot more sense as a secondhand purchase.

[@ursus262]

Well, you'd be surprised. EVs are holding their second hand values very well at the moment as the auto manufacturers can't make them fast enough.

[@erastusforbes731]

Please does anyone know? How many e2008 versions are there? I'm not even sure even though I've looked for answers. I one year has a joystick kind of gearshift, and another version has a a short handle kind of gear shift. Is it a 2021, 2022, 2023 model kind of thing or what? Thanks

[@paname514]

Definitely on the top of my shopping list. Super stylish and practical.

[@dado380]

And first in reliability in UK for 2019,source JD power.Thats insane for a brand who was laughing stock few years earlier in terms of design and reliability.Gilles Vidal is freaking genius.

[@jamiep61]

Great Video Review. I particularly like the styling

[@flaxvert]

It will NOT do 200 miles on a charge, you will get 125 at 70mph in the winter and 160 in the summer.

[@AlexCortes10]

Looks amazing, waiting to come to Mexico. Nice review, Saludos.

[@allan.n.7227]

Beautifully shot review.. Keep up the good work! Lovely scenery at 5:14

[@GrrMeister]

*To me even if filmed in "The Hanging Gardens of Babylon" or the Serengeti Desert with herds of wildebeests roaming in the background would I ever consider this an option.*

[@AWhileHanlin]

Peugeot are great with style and the front grill! Other car companies are making their grills look cheap and put people of buying.

[@spaarbeleg]

I wonder how many suitcase fits in the back

[@markfire9595]

At first thought it was ugly but then we saw the blue and white colours and wow what a difference.

[@zukiesmith7593]

I Love 💔 it. I Want (1) can’t afford the I-PACE. SO THIS 20008 is it. And I Like the in terriers. But my favourites Colour are Dark Blue. Great 👍 previews

[@arbimd2]

I love mine it’s the 2020 model. It’s quite punchy fast for a small engine.

[@djdegan]

Colour coding front grill is such a win👍👍👍👍

[@martinottosson6583]

The real crucial thing with electric cars is NOT the range on a full charge, but how, where and how fast you can charge it. If Peugeot had 20 dedicated super fast chargers on every single gas station and the car could charge from 10% to 80% in ten minutes no one would need more range than around 150 miles. A fast charging car with shorter range is much better than a slow charging car with longer range, as long as we are talking about atleast 150 miles as a starting point.

[@chaardy88]

Looks incredible. Hopefully the use of space in this model is better than the first gen.

[@MrVroom1]

If you watched the review, he answers your question

[@marklola12]

I just ordered the model used the 1.2 GT line on lease factory order, will get it in march when my ds3 crossback goes back..for £180 a month

[@marklola12]

can not believe you did not even mention the ambient lighting strips lol

[@JanWyFoo]

The interior is astonishing.

[@soloist777]

Currently looking at an 2021 E 2008. It's size, looks and interior are very appealing! Can anyone with one provide feedback, please?

[@LucasPasa]

same! Have you buyed? I'm looking for honest reviews

[@lisahoss5520]

Why is this not in Canada?

[@maxdepasquale2351]

This style might not be for everyone, a tad flashy. At least I am happy that the grip control option is still available. It is not so effective as a 4x4 traction, but it can help on slippery terrains. Thanks Doug for the review.

[@jonasweber9408]

That car really shows that people buy cars primarily for the look of it IMO…

[@AnthonyWoodruffe]

Nice review but I find it odd you compared the e2008 to the Zoe and mii? Yes they are cheaper but they are if anything alternatives to the e208. Hyundai's Kona or the e-Nero from Kia would make better comparisons. Even the ID4 or possibly the BMW i3 could be considered as all of these cars have a higher ride height and only have 2WD. I don't understand this SUV nomenclature when all these vehicles are actually Cross-overs or CUV. Time to drop this SUV hype on any vehicle with slightly more ride height.

[@keranbreeden8470]

You are very good at what you do! Have you ever done comparison s ? I would really like to see a high roof van comparison. Im trying to get one and I don't know enough about them to make up my mind. Especially when It comes to price because I'm looking for the cheapest best choice.

[@fastlane2914]

Peugeot have stepped up their game

[@pelegrino791]

I like the look of this car but electric cars are so expensive ...

[@markoei5433]

battery does the car use? LG Chem or Panasonic?

[@helloreviews]

mark oei duracell

[@paname514]

CATL

[@maurimasondo]

Another great review, however, why would you compare the e2008 to a 15k cheaper car that is not even on the same category.. would you do that with the petrol version? You should compare it with similar cars like the MG EV or the upcoming XC40 electric.. etc. If I'm on the market for a compact SUV that's what I want to hear about.. not some random comparison only because of the range.

[@xchopp]

9:30 -- the EV version will likely handle better as it has a lower centre of gravity.

I've never understood how "glossy black plastic" can be said in the same sentence as "nice interior".

[@rnichol22]

The rear lights are not shared with the 208 they are completely different

[@truekiba]

They are just bigger but absolutey the same.

[@BobMartinsback]

Looks like Peugeot has got its styling mojo back, what a shame that the significant price hike will take it off the table for a great many people.

[@jeremylister89]

The push for EVs is so tiresome. In our age of abject poverty why are some people thinking every family has £20k-£30k spare cash doing nothing? Or maybe the politicians supported by the media only want rich people on the road in the future...?

[@didierlemoine6771]

Renault Zoé 179 €/month batterie included so ????????

[@jeremylister89]

@@didierlemoine6771 is that secondhand price? Typical offer in the UK is £1550 deposit, £269 a month for 4 years, battery cost £69 to £100 a month and after 4 years you don't even own it, you have to pay £5500 as a final payment. This not something a poor family can afford.

[@TheDigitalDadUK]

I'm confused. The rear lights are exactly the same as the 208? They are a completely different size and shape and are split in two.

[@q3b26]

I thought exactly the same thing

Don't like the Mazda like raised window arch in the back as it restricts the view for passengers. Otherwise a nice looking car.

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

I drive the first 2008 and it was a good honest car, but a bit small for the exterior size... Hope this one is more balanced in this sense... Still not a fan of the two-level dash... BY the way, I really like the slight humor touches along the review. Makes it more appealing...

[@richardfreeman972]

Hi dude, what version is that GT or GT Line?

[@MegaDK1979]

Peugeot offers three different gear packages..Active, Allure & GT Line..so the GT Line is the full package of gear on every Peugeot model..

[@PoggiiBonsii]

the e version is not awful to drive around a corner....is it horrible then?

[@tonyb1223]

Sooooo, first car that was the walk around car was a GT EAT8 auto, then the test drive car was a manual, then the e 2008, but no price on the GT? Just the GT Line? Also what about the equipment levels v its rivals? Usually Peugeot are better equipped as standard so where as its more expensive its got more goodies on it.

[@didierlemoine6771]

True, almost full options by Peugeot PSA :)

[@surreyshooter]

Small request, when doing reviews can you state the height of the reviewer. As a 6'6" tall male I need to figure out the space for me, not whether it is spacious for a 5'10" reviewer.

[@toyotaprius79]

Who wouldn't want the electric 2008 when the second largest and fastest growing source of CO2 emissions in Europe is caused by SUVS?

No by big engines as Peugeot stays the best in low emission :))

[@IacovosFlorides]

Considering their record on electrical issues, you will be driving with constant issues with an EV.

[@Matty4321]

Well I won't. I want the Kona 64kwh, some owners in the USA are finding it to be actually around 69kwh battery.

@@AN-qi2sm well the e208 starts at £28k, so the e2008 would be AT LEAST £33k, but probably more like £35-36k. Add in options and you're starting to hit Tesla money. It will be a hard sell for many

[@JohnDoe-vx3z]

1:43 these panel gaps .. mon dieu

[@jakechamberlain3703]

The car is still in the process of being developed, the vehicle used would just be a prototype. Peugeot’s are extremely well made, very reliable, you don’t top the JD power survey for reliability for nothing....

[@philipmanolas2270]

Nice catch

[@rnichol22]

It's just the angle of the shot the door runs down the side if the wheel arches so the gap gets a little bigger half way. I have checked it on a real one at the dealers and it's spot on

[@JMB1891]

Sorry, did this guy seriously compare a Mii electric and a Renault Zoe with a much bigger, more practical and better equipped SUV when it comes to price...
