Overview
Peugeot is part of the Netherlands based Stellantis N.V., which was formed by the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (Italian/ American) and Groupe PSA (French). You may not be familiar with these names, but the automotive brands in the portfolio would be well known to most consumers. These include: Maserati, Opel, Vauxhall, Jeep, FIAT, Alfa Romeo etc.
Peugeot was founded in 1810 in Eastern France (Sochaux), and has a rich heritage in motor racing and the broader automotive sector. Peugeot has won many awards for its passenger cars, to include, six European Car of the Year awards. As part of the broader Groupe PSA, Peugeot is very committed to the electric vehicle (EV) sector.
Peugeot has committed to offering a fully electric (BEV) or a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHEV) for every model in its portfolio by 2023. The company’s portfolio of electric vehicles (EVs) include:
- The all-electric Peugeot e-2008
- The all-electric Peugeot e-208
- Peugeot 308 PHEV
- Peugeot 308 SW PHEV
- Peugeot 3008 PHEV
- Peugeot 408 PHEV
- Peugeot 508 PHEV
- Peugeot 508 SW PHEV
- The all-electric Peugeot e-Rifter
- Peugeot e-Traveller PHEV

The Peugeot 3008 SUV PHEV
The Peugeot 3008 compact SUV was unveiled in 2008 in Croatia, and launched in 2009. Peugeot launched a diesel hybrid variant of this SUV in 2012, making it the first mass- production diesel electric hybrid in the world. In 2020, the vehicle received a significant facelift.
The latest Peugeot 3008 plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) variant, is available as a front-wheel drive (FWD) and an all-wheel drive (AWD). The Peugeot 3008 family SUV has firmly established its reputation for its head-turning exterior styling.
However, with the addition of a hybrid drivetrain, the mid-sized crossover has further enhanced its appeal, given the improved environment credentials.
The electric vehicle (EV) has far lower tailpipe emissions (41g CO2/km), compared to the conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) variant (166g CO2/km). Company-car drivers can take advantage of the lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK-12%) tax rate to lower monthly bills.
The Peugeot plug-in electric SUV has a 13.2 kWh onboard EV battery, with a claimed zero-tailpipe emission electric range up to 39 miles (WLTP certified). Of course, the real-world pure electric range will be lower, and possibly closer to 32 miles. The real-world EV range is impacted by a number of factors, to include: driving profile, speed, passenger load, weather, road condition, wheel size etc.
A range of 32 miles may not seem much, but given that the majority of motorists in the UK drive a mere 30 miles per day, the electric range is sufficient to help lower driving costs per mile. Depending on where and when the EV is charged, the driving costs per mile will average between 5 pence and 10 pence per mile, far cheaper than calling on the internal combustion engine (ICE).
The use of the electric mode also helps improve the overall efficiency of the electric vehicle. Peugeot claims a fuel economy up to 235.4 mpg. Of course, real-world fuel economy will be lower than the claimed figures, but the fuel economy of the PHEV will be far better, compared to the conventional combustion engine variant (39.7 mpg).
To leverage the benefits of electric driving, having a fully charged EV battery is imperative. The PHEV is not compatible with DC charging (not all plug-in electric cars are capable of DC rapid charging). In all probability, on most occasions, the EV will be charged overnight at home.
We at e-zoomed recommend the use of a dedicated EV charger for home charging. The single-phase easee EV charger is a good example. The PHEV can be charged up to 100% in 1 hour and 45 minutes. Charging at 3.7 kW will take 3 hours and 4 minutes to fully charge the EV.
We recommend a ‘topping up’ approach to EV charging. This way, the e-mode can be used more often and regular charging is also better for the long-term maintenance of the EV battery. Peugeot offers a warranty up to 8 years or 100,000 miles for the battery (70% of original capacity). We at e-zoomed discourage the use of a domestic 3-PIN plug for charging an electric car.
The Peugeot 3008 HYBRID 225 e-EAT8 pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with an electric motor (80kW), delivering a maximum combined 225 HP and 266 Nm torque. The electric car can achieve 0-62 mph in 8.9 seconds. The top speed of the EV is 140 mph (84 mph on electric mode).
Also on offer is a four-wheel drive variant. The 3008 HYBRID 300 e-EAT8 pairs a 1.6-litre petrol engine with two electric motor (80kW each), placed in the front and rear of the electric vehicle, delivering a maximum combined 300 HP and 383 Nm torque. The electric SUV can achieve 0-62 mph in 6.1 seconds.
The top speed of the EV is 149 mph (84 mph on all-electric mode). The EV benefits from instant torque, as is the case with electric cars.
In terms of practicality, the 3008 PHEV does not offer class-leading interior space. Having said that, the EV still offers ample legroom and headroom for rear seat passengers. The 3008 also benefits from a good driver position and visibility.
The boot space has been impacted by the addition of the electric drivetrain, with the four-wheel drive variant, further impacted due to the placement of the second electric motor in the rear. The EV offers boot space up to 395 L.
However, the PHEV more than makes up for the compromise on practicality, by offering a high-quality interior cabin with a good level of standard technology and safety features.
These include: premium i-cockpit with 8″ touchscreen and 12.3″ digital display, Apple Car Play, Android Auto, ambient lighting, extended traffic sign recognition, driving timer alert system, dynamic stability control, lane keeping assist, front collision warning, 180 reversing camera and more. The PHEV has been awarded a Five-Star NCAP safety rating.
The plug-in hybrid electric vehicle does not qualify for the UK government plug-in car grant (PiCG). Bottom-line, electric driving is good for the environment and the wallet. You can lease electric vehicles (EVs) via e-zoomed at very competitive prices!
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| Fantastic looking exterior | 7 kW onboard charger not included as standard |
| Good level of standard equipment | Interior space and cargo volume is not class-leading |
