Summary
The Peugeot e-3008 is an all-electric, mid-sized family SUV/crossover vehicle. It arrived in the UK in early 2024, with a longer-range version joining the line-up later in the year.
There is a petrol/electric hybrid version called the 3008, which isn’t included here. We are building a separate Expert Rating page for that car, so check back soon.
Reviewers have liked the e-3008’s design, both inside and out, but have been critical of its price and general lack of performance or value for money compared to other cars in its segment. Alan Taylor-Jones of Parkers sums it up as a “striking SUV” that “offers more style than substance”. Matt Saunders at Autocar likes its “comfort and understated luxury appeal” but laments that “we had hoped for greater dynamic flair”, while most other reviews followed in a similar vein.
As of November 2024, the Peugeot e-3008 holds a New Car Expert Rating of B, with a score of 66%. It scores top marks for its low running costs and zero tailpipe emissions, but media review scores to date have been poor. We don’t yet have a Euro NCAP test score for the e-3008, which could push the overall rating up or down once it is published and added to our scoring system.

“With its alternative premium-brand style, on-board tech, comfort and understated luxury appeal, the Peugeot e-3008 scores in the areas intended. But we had hoped for greater dynamic flair from it, as well as a more powerful statement of prowess from a global industry power that ought to be pushing technological boundaries harder.”

“The new Peugeot e-3008 looks great inside and out but is expensive. After the international launch drive, it impressed more on UK roads. We wondered if Peugeot had changed the performance and handling settings following launch feedback – although we were told not.”

“On a purely aesthetic level, the Peugeot e-3008 ticks every box. It looks stunning, and genuinely stands out in a market that tend to all look very same-y. But aside from this, it doesn’t represent a significant leap in Peugeot’s electric journey. It’s a bit disappointing that the e-3008 is off the mark when it comes to the way it drives and its rear-seat space, and doesn’t even have attractive pricing on its side. There are better electric SUVs on the market.”

“What the Peugeot E-3008 lacks dynamically, it makes up for in being hushed and quiet to drive – characteristics that will be appreciated more by families, no doubt. It’s a smartly designed electric SUV that feels very plush and upmarket inside, it’s just a shame that it’s slightly dull to drive and isn’t a cheap proposition.”

“The outgoing Peugeot 3008 is a hard act to follow, so the brand’s taken a slightly different approach with its replacement. It’s now an electric SUV, with a coupe-like “fastback” design and an upmarket interior. It has a long range, too, but that comes with a premium price tag that pitches it against some fierce competition.”

“The third generation Peugeot E-3008 is pleasant enough to drive, but the use of the same platform that underpins the larger 5008 means that it’s heavy. While fleet buyers and those who run their cars through the books will find the tax advantages of the electric battery well-nigh irresistible, private buyers might be tempted to save a lot of money and opt for the much cheaper hybrid version. I, for one, wouldn’t blame them.”

“The Peugeot e-3008 has a smart interior, competitive charging speeds and a good range by class standards. However, it doesn’t perform as well as some rivals in areas such as comfort, space and practicality. If you do buy one, we recommend sticking with the entry-level Allure trim because it has plenty of standard equipment and keeps the costs down.”

The Peugeot e-3008 is a very affordable car to own and run, according to whole-life cost numbers provided exclusively to The Car Expert by our data partner, Clear Vehicle Data.
Electrical efficiency (the EV equivalent of miles per gallon for a petrol or diesel car) is good, which helps to give the e-3008 a strong battery range. Servicing costs should also be very competitive, while insurance is about average for the new car market.
