Electric performance for an eco-friendly drive

The new PEUGEOT E-2008 features a new 100% electric powertrain with a range of up to 406 km (WLTP combined cycle). The electric motor produces 115 kW (156 bhp) of power and 260 Nm of torque, enabling the new PEUGEOT E-2008 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. The battery has a capacity of 52.5 kWh and can be charged to 80% in just 30 minutes using a fast charger. A full charge takes 7.5 hours using a 7 kW wallbox charger.

In addition to the electric powertrain, the new PEUGEOT 2008 also features a choice of advanced 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engines. The PureTech 100 is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the PureTech 130 can be combined with either the EAT8 eight-speed automatic gearbox or a six-speed manual gearbox.

A Hybrid option will follow in 2024 with the new 48V HYBRID powertrain, which consists of a new-generation 136 bhp 1.2 litre PureTech petrol engine, coupled with a new 6-speed dual-clutch electrified gearbox that includes an electric motor.
