French automaker Peugeot formally introduced the new e-3008 fastback SUV on Tuesday. According to parent company Stellantis’ press release, the new model is part of the brand’s efforts to deliver the “widest range of electric cars of any generalist brand in Europe.”
The new Peugeot e-3008 will succeed the brand’s top-selling model, the Peugeot 3008.
“The launch of the Next-Level E-3008 is a major step in PEUGEOT’s radical transformation into an alluring 100% electric brand that sets new benchmarks for design, driving pleasure and efficiency. With its exterior design, spectacular PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit®, driving pleasure and unprecedented electric performance, the Next-Level E-3008 ushers PEUGEOT into a new era as the French brand offering the widest range of mainstream electric vehicles on the market.”

Peugeot e-3008 key details
Peugeot boasts that it based the development of the new e-3008 on three key elements, including the following:
- ALLURE of an all-electric fastback SUV that features a revamped and efficient layout
- EMOTION through the newest PEUGEOT Panoramic i-Cockpit®
- EXCELLENCE with the STLA platform that supports a maximum driving range of 700km
Technical specs
The e-3008 will be the first Peugeot model to ride on the new STLA Medium platform from Stellantis. It will also use NCM batteries co-developed by its parent company and SAFT.
According to Electrive.com, the model will feature three electric powertrain configurations, including the following:
| Trim | Front-Wheel Drive | Long-Range Front-Wheel Drive | All-Wheel Drive |
| Power | 157 kW | 170 kW | 240 kW |
| Torque | 343 Nm | 343 Nm | 343 Nm (front) and 166 Nm (rear) |
| Battery Pack | 73 kWh | 98 kWh | 73 kWh |
| WLTP Range | up to 525 kilometres | up to 700 kilometres | 525 kilometres |
It has a three-phase 11 kW onboard charger. However, it also supports fast charging up to 160 kW with DC fast chargers.
Peugeot claims that the Standard Range can replenish from 20% to 80% in just 30 minutes, while the Long Range can do so under half an hour.
It also has V1G and V2L technology that enables the car to transmit energy to external electrical devices with 3kW and 16kW power, according to the company.
Exterior
The all-new electric fastback SUV is 4.54 meters long, 1.89 meters wide, 1.64 tall with a 2.73 meter wheelbase.
The e-3008 appears to have a similar shape to the popular 3008 model. However, its rear windscreen flows to an upturned lip from its spoiler.
Its headlights are also narrower than the existing 3008. It features three-claw lights on the grille’s sides. Meanwhile, the grille bends inwards at each end instead of upwards.
Interior
The interior of the e-3008 boasts the bent 21″ Panoramic i-Cockpit screen throughout the dashboard’s top. It functions as the vehicle’s infotainment screen and driver display.
The screen is also responsible for all functions, such as air-conditioning and other adjustments. However, the car also offers another touchscreen below the larger screen for more convenient control through i-Toggles.
Its interior lighting also offers eight color options to make the driving experience more enjoyable. It also has aluminum trim and wireless mobile phone charging on the center console., as noted by What Car.
Apart from that, it has cooled storage below the central armrest at the front.
