Peugeot Begins Orders For E-3008 And E-5008 Long-Range EVs With Up To 700 KM Of Range

Peugeot has officially opened orders for the long-range versions of its electric vehicles (EVs), the E-3008 and E-5008, featuring what the company claims are the best electric ranges in the SUV market. 

Exceptional Range and Performance

According to Stellantis, the new long-range models come equipped with a 97-kWh battery, significantly larger than the 73-kWh battery in standard versions. The E-3008 Long Range achieves an exceptional 700 km (435 miles) of range on the WLTP cycle, while the larger E-5008 Long Range delivers 668 km (415 miles). 

Both models feature a 170 kW (230 hp) electric motor, earning them the ‘230’ designation in their model names. As a result, the the new variants showcase French technological excellence with batteries produced at the ACC gigafactory in Douvrin. 

Pricing and Availability

In France, the E-3008 230 Long Range starts at €46,990 (around $51,587) for the Allure trim, with the GT trim priced at €51,490 (around $56,528). The larger E-5008 230 Long Range is positioned at €51,490 for the Allure trim and €55,990 (around $61,451) for the GT variant. The E-3008 Long Range qualifies for a €4,000 ($4,390) eco-bonus in France, making it more accessible to potential buyers. Pricing for other European markets will be announced in the coming weeks.

Charging Capabilities

Despite using a 400-volt architecture, both models offer competitive charging capabilities. They can accept up to 160 kW at DC fast-charging stations, enabling a 20% to 80% charge in 27 minutes. The EVs can recover 150 km (93 miles) of range in just 10 minutes of charging. A new battery pre-conditioning system optimizes charging times during long trips and in low temperatures.

Moreover, the long-range variants utilize Stellantis’ STLA Medium “BEV-by-design” platform, accommodating a battery that’s 15mm thicker than the standard version while maintaining identical interior space and boot volume. This engineering feat demonstrates the platform’s flexibility and efficient design.

Market Success and Future Plans

The E-3008 has already garnered over 67,000 orders across its various powertrains in Europe, with 60% of buyers opting for the high-end GT trim. Peugeot plans to further expand its electric lineup with a third powertrain option: a 320 Dual Motor AWD version offering all-wheel drive and enhanced performance capabilities.

To boost buyer confidence, both models come with Peugeot’s ALLURE CARE warranty, providing comprehensive coverage for 8 years or 160,000 km. This warranty covers the electric motor, charger, transmission, and major electrical and mechanical components.

Public Debut

The E-3008 Long Range will make its public debut at the Paris Motor Show, running from October 14 to October 20, 2024, where potential buyers can get their first look at this groundbreaking electric SUV.
