The E Option

P

eugeot has released details and pictures of the e-2008 – prior to its 2020 launch.

The e-2008 comes with a 50kWh battery and an official range of 193 miles. It will have a 134bhp electric motor and be capable of using 100kW rapid chargers, with an 80-per-cent top-up taking just 30 minutes.

The model will offer three powertrain options; diesel and petrol variants will also feature in the range. There’ll be 1.2-litre petrols with 99, 128 and 153bhp outputs, as well as a 99bhp 1.5-litre diesel.

Following the popularity of the larger 3008 SUV (soon to be made available with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain), Peugeot has stuck to a similar design philosophy.

There is more interior space with a longer wheel base and the boot space has been increased to accommodate underfloor storage for charging cables.

And, of course, the vehicle will boast the latest in technological refinements.
