The Peugeot brand is making a bold statement in the electric SUV market with the launch of the all-new Peugeot e-5008. Unveiled recently, this innovative vehicle caters to families and adventure enthusiasts seeking a spacious, comfortable, and sustainable way to explore. Here's a closer look at what the e-5008 brings to the table, including its pricing:
Striking Design Meets Functional Interior
The e-5008 isn't just about electric power; it boasts a head-turning design. Aerodynamic lines and a sleek silhouette characterize its exterior, while the refined interior prioritizes both style and functionality. The signature Peugeot grille, accented by a thin black trim, seamlessly integrates the ultra-compact LED headlights, creating a modern and sophisticated look.
Peugeot embraces minimalism with flowing lines and concealed side window seals, further emphasizing the e-5008's elegance. Borrowing from the acclaimed Peugeot e-3008, the e-5008 features the new Peugeot i-Cockpit, boasting a stunning 21-inch curved panoramic display that houses both the digital instrument cluster and the central touchscreen. Passengers can personalize the cabin ambience with eight different LED lighting colors, creating a truly unique driving experience.
Uncompromising Performance and Efficiency with Electric Power
Designed specifically for electric mobility, the e-5008 offers a range of powerful motors, catering to diverse driving needs. The range of permanent magnet synchronous motors delivers an impressive electric range (between 500 and 660 km, WLTP), with options for both two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The two-wheel drive versions deliver a punchy 157 kW or 170 kW, while the all-wheel-drive Dual Motor version boasts a combined output of 237 kW. This translates to effortless acceleration and a truly exhilarating driving experience.
Beyond Electric: The 48V Hybrid Option
For those seeking a balance between electric power and traditional internal combustion engines, Peugeot offers the e-5008 with a new 48V hybrid system. This system combines a 1.2L PureTech gasoline engine with a 48-volt battery and an electrified six-speed dual-clutch transmission. This option provides a practical solution for those who require a versatile SUV for various driving scenarios.
Safety, Comfort, and Technology: A Winning Combination
Safety and comfort are paramount in the e-5008. The base trim comes standard with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems, while higher trims offer additional features like heated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and sun blinds for the second row. Passengers can also enjoy a three-zone automatic climate control system, ensuring a comfortable journey for everyone on board.
The e-5008 is built on the innovative STLA Medium platform from Stellantis. This platform offers several advantages, including an impressive electric range, a fast charging capability, and exceptional driving dynamics. Connectivity is also a key focus, with features like trip planning, smart charging, and over-the-air updates ensuring the e-5008 stays at the forefront of technological innovation.
