NEW PEUGEOT E-308 OPENS FOR ORDERS

Peugeot has announced that the new Peugeot E-308, the latest addition to its all-electric model range, is now available for orders starting from £40,050 OTR MRRP.

The new E-308 is Peugeot’s first all-electric C-segment vehicle. It is powered by a new electric powertrain with a 115kW (156hp) electric motor and a 54kWh battery, offering a range of up to 257 miles (WLTP). The inclusion of a heat pump as standard enhances efficiency and comfort while driving.

Drivers can choose from three driving modes – Eco, Normal, and Sport. Additionally, a “Brake” mode allows drivers to maximize energy recovery by regenerating power when they release the accelerator pedal. With a three-phase 11 kW charger on board, a full charge can be completed in 07h 20min from a 7.4kW home wallbox or 05h 46min from a 22kW accelerated public charger. Rapid charging at 100kW can achieve a 20-80% charge in just 28 minutes.

The new E-308 boasts a distinctive Peugeot design. The front features the brand emblem positioned in the center of a large vertical grille, accompanied by fang-shaped daytime running lights framing the LED headlights. The car’s rear showcases Peugeot’s signature three-claw light design, with the ‘E’ badge denoting its all-electric status. The E-308 also comes with a newly developed 18-inch ‘Ottawa’ diamond cut alloy wheel for improved aerodynamics.

Inside the car, the new E-308 benefits from the latest generation Peugeot i-Cockpit®. It includes a compact steering wheel, a fully customizable digital instrument panel (with a 3D Quartz display on GT variants), and a 10-inch central touchscreen with i-Connect Advanced infotainment and customizable i-Toggles. The Peugeot i-Cockpit® is renowned for its superior interior ergonomics, design, and technology.

The interior design of the new E-308 prioritizes driver controls for improved ergonomics. It also offers optimized space and comfort, with 34 liters of storage capacity and two smartphone slots. Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel are standard, while massaging front seats are available as an option. Rear passengers benefit from two USB-C sockets, phone storage, and cupholders (depending on the trim level).

The new E-308 is available in three trim levels: Allure, GT, and First Edition (limited-time availability).

Allure variants feature tinted rear windows, 18-inch ‘Ottawa’ alloy wheels, and a chrome grille with a high-gloss black rear panel and chrome trim. Inside, Allure models come with heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a reversing camera, 3D Connected Navigation, and natural voice recognition. The new E-308 also comes equipped with the latest safety and driver assistance technology, including autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.

Building on the Allure specification, GT models boast Full Matrix LED Technology headlights with 3D LED taillights, a GT-specific grille pattern, widened side sills, and a PEUGEOT shield on the front wings. Inside, GT models feature Alcantara® seats with adamite colored stitching, embossed aluminium trim on the dashboard and door panels, eight-color ambient lighting, and aluminum door sills and pedals. GT models also include front parking sensors and a 3D digital instrument cluster.

The limited-run First Edition models offer an exclusive interior design with a ‘Belomka Evo’ Tri-Material Blue woven cloth, ‘Isabella’ leather effect, and Mistral Alcantara®. The front headrests are embossed with the Peugeot logo. First Edition models are available in three colors: Okenite White, Olivine Green, and Selenium Grey.

The new E-308 hatchback can be ordered from Peugeot Retailers or through Peugeot’s Buy Online platform. Buy Online allows customers to configure, finance, and order their vehicle entirely from the comfort of their home, including obtaining a part-exchange valuation for their current vehicle. Order books for the new Peugeot E-308 SW will open later in 2023.

Peugeot Reveals Next-Level All-Electric E-3008 Fastback SUV

 

Peugeot has unveiled the new all-electric E-3008, featuring a sleek fastback SUV design, an advanced electric powertrain with a range of up to 435 miles, and Peugeot’s latest Panoramic i-Cockpit®.

 

The E-3008 will replace the popular Peugeot 3008, which has garnered praise from over 1.3 million customers across 130 countries over the past seven years. By 2025, Peugeot aims to offer a complete lineup of battery electric vehicles, with 100% of its sales in Europe being electric by 2030.

 

With the new E-3008, Peugeot has taken the design, driving pleasure, and electric performance to the next level:

  • Allure: The E-3008 showcases the elegance and efficiency of a fastback SUV with a reinvented design.
  • Emotion: The next-generation Peugeot Panoramic i-Cockpit® enhances the driving pleasure with its innovative features.
  • Excellence: The E-3008 offers exceptional electric range (up to 435 miles) and performance, thanks to the new STLA Medium platform and powertrains from Stellantis.

 

Linda Jackson, CEO of Peugeot, said: “The launch of the next-level E-3008 is a significant milestone in Peugeot’s transformation into an appealing 100% electric brand that sets new standards for design, driving pleasure, and efficiency. With its stunning exterior design, impressive Peugeot Panoramic i-Cockpit®, exceptional driving pleasure, and unprecedented electric performance, the Next-Level E-3008 ushers Peugeot into a new era as the French brand offering the widest range of mainstream electric vehicles in the market.”

 

STLA Medium electric platform

 

The Peugeot E-3008 will be the first model to utilize Stellantis’ brand-new STLA Medium electric powertrain. It is designed to deliver top-notch performance, including an impressive range of up to 435 miles, quick recharge time (20-80% in 30 minutes from a 160kW charger), and advanced connected services and functions. The STLA Medium incorporates a powerful electric motor and a 400V lithium-ion battery for enhanced power, efficiency, and torque.

 

The new E-3008 offers both AC and DC charging options. For AC charging, it comes with an 11kW three-phase charger as standard and a 22kW three-phase charger as an option. The Mode 4 socket supports DC rapid recharging up to 160kW, enabling fast recharging times. Additionally, the E-3008 features a Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function, allowing users to power external devices with the car’s high-voltage battery.

 

Fastback SUV design

 

The E-3008 stands out with its distinctive fastback SUV design. Its sleek and aerodynamic shape combines elegance, efficiency, and spaciousness. Despite its compact size, it offers a generous 520 liters of boot space, on par with the previous 3008 model.

 

The front end of the E-3008 features ultra-compact LED headlamps and a grille, accentuating its modernity. The wheels of the vehicle contribute to both style and aerodynamic performance, with technical and geometric designs that showcase the Peugeot emblem.

 

At the rear, the E-3008 incorporates a “floating” spoiler inspired by the Quartz Concept, enhancing its aerodynamics and complementing the distinctive three-claw rear light signature.

 

The E-3008 is available in an array of six colors, including an innovative Obsession Blue that changes from blue to green depending on the lighting conditions.

 

Panoramic i-Cockpit®

 

The interior of the E-3008 boasts the striking Peugeot Panoramic i-Cockpit®. It features a curved 21” HD panoramic screen that combines the head-up display with the central touchscreen. The instrument cluster and the touchscreen are positioned for optimal ergonomics, providing essential driving information and controls.

 

The E-3008 introduces the i-Toggles, customizable touch-sensitive buttons that can be programmed for quick access to frequently used functions. The cabin also offers ambient LED lighting in various colors, a compact and ergonomic steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls, and Peugeot’s Air Quality System for a refreshing and calm environment.

 

The Peugeot Panoramic i-Cockpit® includes two paddles behind the steering wheel that enable the driver to select from three levels of regenerative braking for a customized driving experience.

  • Low: Similar to conventional brakes
  • Medium: Increased deceleration
  • High: Maximum deceleration and regeneration

The medium and high regenerative braking levels activate the rear brake lights automatically.

 

Instinctive driving pleasure

 

The new STLA Medium platform ensures dynamic road-holding with its redesigned front and rear axles. The platform’s architecture contributes to the vehicle’s agility by positioning the battery low between the wheels, lowering the center of gravity.

 

The E-3008 offers a suite of driver aids for a smooth driving experience, including adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, speed limit sign detection, and various safety technologies such as automatic emergency braking and blind spot monitoring.

 

The new E-3008 will be available in two trim levels, Allure and GT, with three all-electric powertrain options:

  • 210bhp/157kW Standard Range
  • 230bhp/170kW Long Range
  • 320bhp/240kW Dual Motor for all-wheel drive

Self-charging hybrid and plug-in hybrid variants will also be offered. The E-3008 will be manufactured at the Sochaux plant in France and will be available for sale from February 2024.

UK CLEAN AIR AND LOW EMISSIONS ZONES HAVE GENERATED MORE THAN £418 MILLION SINCE MARCH 2021

UK clean air and low emissions zones have generated over £418 million in fees and penalty charges since March 2021, according to new research by PEUGEOT UK. The London Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) contributed the most to this income, accounting for £319,822,943 between October 2021 and April 2023. All net revenue generated by the ULEZ is required by law to be reinvested back into London’s transport network. With the expansion of the ULEZ to all London boroughs on August 29, eligible vehicle owners in these areas can apply for up to £2,000 for scrapping their car as part of a £110 million scrappage scheme. PEUGEOT is offering a new e-Grant that allows customers to save £3,000 on electric models, providing potential savings of up to £5,000 on a new electric vehicle.

The UK currently has 13 low emissions zones, clean air zones, and zero emissions zones. Nine of these zones charge non-compliant vehicles an entry fee, with penalty charge notices issued to drivers who fail to pay the daily charge. PEUGEOT’s research, based on Freedom of Information requests, revealed that eight zones have generated a total of £418,501,974 in income from motorists since March 2021 (data from Bristol Clean Air Zone was not provided). Each zone has different charging criteria, such as specific emissions standards for diesel and petrol vehicles. Some zones, like the Low Emissions Zones in Scotland, have a ban on vehicles that do not meet the emissions requirements, with no option to pay a fee to enter the zone.

In addition to generating income, revenue from clean air zones in the UK must be reinvested into local transport policies. For example, Birmingham City Council has invested over £52 million of net surplus revenues from its Clean Air Zone to fund a hydrogen bus trial, upgrade train stations, and improve cycling infrastructure. Bristol’s Clean Air Zone uses the surplus revenue to provide grants and loans to individuals and businesses for replacing vehicles that do not meet the zone’s emission standards.

PEUGEOT is already ahead in meeting the latest Euro 6 emissions standards for both petrol and diesel models, and the company offers electrified versions of all its models. By 2030, PEUGEOT plans to sell only fully electric vehicles in the UK to comply with future emissions standards. Adam Wood, Managing Director of PEUGEOT UK, emphasizes the importance of improving urban air quality and the company’s commitment to helping drivers avoid charges and reduce emissions by offering incentives like the e-Grant.

The tables provided in the article showcase the income generated by various clean air initiatives in different local authorities and the estimated annual costs for motorists entering non-compliant vehicles into the zones on a daily basis. It is important to note that the time periods for enforcement and fee structures vary among different zones.

Peugeot Launches New Hybrid Powertrain for 3008 and 5008 Models

Peugeot has introduced its new self-charging hybrid powertrain for the 3008 and 5008 models, with plans to expand it to other models in the Peugeot range.

 

The HYBRID 136 e-DSC6 powertrain combines 48V technology with an updated version of the 1.2-liter PureTech petrol engine, a new six-speed electrified dual-clutch transmission, and an 898Wh battery.

 

This powertrain offers a 15% improvement in WLTP fuel economy and reduced CO2 emissions. The PureTech petrol engine features a new turbo and operation cycle for better performance at low and high revs, producing a maximum power output of 136hp and a maximum torque of 230Nm.

 

The HYBRID 136 e-DSC6 also includes a compact electric dual-clutch transmission with six forward gears. The electric motor provides 16kW peak power and 51Nm of torque. The engine acts as a generator during deceleration to recharge the 48V battery and assist in starting the combustion engine.

 

The 48V battery, located under the front left seat, has a gross capacity of 898Wh and an available capacity of 432Wh. It utilizes lithium-ion technology and liquid cooling for maximum efficiency and minimal heat loss, without compromising cabin space and luggage capacity.

 

Peugeot vehicles with the HYBRID 136 e-DSC6 powertrain will come equipped with an updated digital instrument panel that displays color-changing accents to indicate the vehicle’s running mode, battery charge level, and energy flow.

 

The Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models feature the award-winning Peugeot i-Cockpit®, offering the latest connectivity and safety technologies such as Night Vision, Autonomous Emergency Braking, and Blind Spot Detection.

 

Customers can order and purchase the Peugeot 3008 and 5008 models from Peugeot Retailers or via Peugeot Buy Online. The Buy Online platform allows customers to configure their vehicle, get a part exchange valuation, personalize their finance options, and complete their purchase, including home delivery.

 

Prices for the 3008 HYBRID start at £34,130, and for the 5008 HYBRID, prices start at £38,095.

PEUGEOT #CAMOCATCH OPERATION: THE CHALLENGE IS ON

PEUGEOT’s #CamoCatch operation, which involves the general public in the launch of the new E-3008, is now in its final phase: The #CamoCatch Challenge. This summer, PEUGEOT challenges everyone to take photos of the camouflaged E-3008 during its final testing on the open road. Lucky winners will have the opportunity to test drive the new E-3008 themselves.

 

With the new E-3008, PEUGEOT is innovating more than ever. Usually, prototypes are kept confidential and away from the public. However, the new E-3008 is being displayed in full view and involving the general public in its launch.

 

In May, during the initial phase of the operation, PEUGEOT used its social networks to run a vote on the new camouflages intended for the prototypes of the new E-3008.

 

Thousands of votes were received on the brand’s various social networks in June, and three camouflage themes were chosen:

 

  • “Street Art” theme
  • “Optical Art” theme
  • “Prototype” theme

 

These camouflages, selected by the public, were produced in June and applied to the new PEUGEOT E-3008s that will undergo final development tests on European roads this summer.

 

From July 15th to August 15th, the #CamoCatch Challenge invites anyone who comes across one of the camouflaged PEUGEOT E-3008s to take a photo of it, if it’s safe to do so, and share the pictures on their social networks (Facebook and Instagram) with the hashtags #CamoCatch and @PEUGEOT.

 

All camouflaged E-3008s have a QR Code that can be scanned to access the #CamoCatch operation web page. A prize draw will determine the 6 winners who will have an exclusive opportunity to test drive the new E-3008 next year during the press test drives.

 

PEUGEOT has been actively collaborating with young designers and artists since the beginning of 2023. This collaboration, initiated by the brand, has now been extended to an international audience through social media to promote PEUGEOT’s design expertise to as many people as possible.

 

The new PEUGEOT E-3008 will make its public debut in September this year.

 

Peugeot Updates 208 and e-208 with New Design, Powertrains, and Technologies

Peugeot has given a makeover to the 208 and e-208 models, introducing a fresh design, new powertrains, and advanced technologies for both the fully electric and petrol versions. The 208 has been the best-selling car in Europe in 2022, and these updates aim to keep it a popular choice among buyers. Orders for the new 208 and e-208 will open in October 2023.

 

When it arrives later this year, the new Peugeot 208 will bring the following enhancements:
 

  • More Allure: with a captivating sporty look featuring a modern Peugeot light signature.
  • More Emotion: with an enhanced digital Peugeot i-Cockpit® that enhances the driving experience.
  • More Excellence: with electrification at its core, including the new e-208 with a range of 248 miles (pending approval), new hybrid powertrains (HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136), and the latest generation of Peugeot infotainment systems.

 

Since its launch at the end of 2019, over a million 208 models have been sold, with the 208 being the top-selling car in Europe in both 2021 and 2022. A significant part of this success can be attributed to the fully electric e-208, which became the best-selling electric car in the B segment in Europe in 2022.

 

Jérôme Micheron, Peugeot Product Director: “Working on an iconic and successful model like the 208 is always a challenge. Our goal was to take the design and performance of the 208 to a higher level while preserving the essence of this model to remain a leader in the B-segment sales in Europe. The new 208 is more 208 than ever: more stylish, more fun to drive, more technologically advanced, and ultimately, more irresistible.”

 

Allure: Eye-catching, Athletic Design

 

The designers at Peugeot faced the task of delivering a new level of modernity and freshness to the 208 while preserving the distinctive and alluring characteristics that have made it a success. They achieved this through the following new features:

 

  • New Peugeot Front Light Signature: Previously introduced on the 9X8 Hypercar, the new 508 and 508 SW, and most recently on the new 2008, the new Peugeot light signature now adorns the new 208 and e-208. The signature features three long vertical light claws integrated into the gloss black inserts on the bumper, adding to the car’s broader appearance.

    All new 208 models come with this new front light signature. On GT versions, this feature is even more striking, as the three light claws are integrated into the full LED headlamps using three independent optical modules.
     

  • A New Look for the Front End: All new 208 models come with a redesigned front end, showcasing Peugeot’s new logo at the center. The grille features an evolving body-colored pattern that extends into the bumper, creating a seamless look.
  • A Redesigned Rear Light Signature: The new 208 features a reinvented rear light signature with three individual red claws arranged horizontally. These elegant lines of LEDs extend across the black strip around the boot lid, giving the car a more commanding rear view and a sense of greater width. GT variants also come with LED reversing lights and indicators.
  • New Striking Colors: The new 208 and e-208 are available in seven body colors, including two new additions: Agueda Yellow (new for 208) and Selenium Grey. The other colors available are Cumulus Grey, Nera Black, Bianca White, Elixir Red, and Vertigo Blue. Additionally, all new 208 models feature gloss black door mirrors, regardless of the chosen color, while GT variants come with gloss black wheel arches as standard.
  • New Wheel Designs: The new 208 features new alloy wheel designs inspired by the new 408. The designs include 16-inch ‘NOMA’ diamond-cut two-tone wheels for ALLURE trim and 17-inch ‘YANAKA’ diamond-cut two-tone wheels with inserts for GT. All alloy wheels come with a new four-spoke center cap that prominently displays the Peugeot shield, discreetly concealing the wheel bolts.
  • New Peugeot Brand Identity: The new 208 showcases Peugeot’s updated brand identity with new lettering finished in a Basalt Grey color on the front, side, and rear nameplates. At the rear, the Peugeot lettering spans the entire width of the black panel connecting the rear LED lights. The e-208 comes with a new ‘E’ badge featuring a two-tone Dichroic and White finish.
  • Elegant New Fabrics: All trims of the 208 feature refreshed interior ambience with new fabrics and stitchings. GT models also introduce a new optional seat fabric with Black Alcantara® and Adamite Green stitching, complementing the Adamite Green stitching on the dashboard.

 

Emotion: Enhanced Peugeot i-Cockpit® for an Improved Driving Experience

 

The first-generation 208 introduced Peugeot’s iconic i-Cockpit®, which has now advanced to become more connected, ergonomic, and technologically advanced. It remains a central element of the driving pleasure offered by the new Peugeot 208 and e-208. Here are the enhancements:

 

  • New Design for the Digital Instrument Panel: The digital instrument panel is conveniently located at the driver’s eye level and features a digital display on ALLURE and GT versions. The generous 10-inch digital screen has a redesigned look and comes with a 3D display as standard on GT versions. Drivers can customize the color, layout, and presentation of the display. On ACTIVE variants, the new 208 retains an analog instrument cluster with a 3.5-inch color screen.
  • i-Connect: The 208 ALLURE and GT models now come standard with Peugeot i-Connect, which can be upgraded to i-Connect Advanced for live TomTom navigation and natural voice recognition.
  • 10-Inch Touchscreen Across All Models: A large 10-inch touchscreen is now standard on all 208 models, a significant improvement over the previous 7-inch screen. On ALLURE and GT models, the 10-inch touchscreen is upgraded to high-definition and is paired with Peugeot’s next-generation i-Connect infotainment system. The quick access toggles for features such as climate control and ADAS remain beneath the central screen for easy access.
  • Compact Steering Wheel: The compact steering wheel at the heart of the Peugeot i-Cockpit® offers agility and precision. It now features the new Peugeot shield at its center and, if applicable, the GT logo on the lower part of its rim. The controls for the multimedia system, audio, telephone, volume, and voice control are conveniently housed on the steering wheel for optimum ergonomics.
  • Dynamic Ambient Lighting on GT Versions: Drivers can choose from eight colors to set the interior ambience to suit their preferences.
  • Revised Gear Shifter Design: New 208 models equipped with PEUGEOT’s five and six-speed manual transmissions come with a redesigned gear shifter for improved ergonomics. E-208 and 208 automatic versions retain the elegant ‘e-Toggle’ design introduced last year.

 

Excellence: Taking Electrification to the Next Level

 

For the first time, Peugeot 208 customers have the choice between all-electric, hybrid, and petrol variants.

  • Improved Electric Range: The new e-208 models are equipped with Peugeot’s new 115kW (156bhp) electric motor and a 51kWh battery, offering a range of up to 248 miles between charges (WLTP certification pending approval). All e-208 models come with a standard 7.4kW single-phase charger, with an optional three-phase 11kW charger available. Rapid charging with a 100kW charger can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in less than 25 minutes, while a 7.4kW charger takes approximately 4 hours and 40 minutes.
  • New Hybrid Powertrains: The PEUGEOT 208 is now available with two new 48V Hybrid powertrains. These include the latest-generation PureTech 100bhp and 136bhp petrol engines combined with the e-DSC6 dual-clutch electrified six-speed automatic gearbox, which includes an electric motor. This technology provides extra torque at low revs and reduces fuel consumption by up to 15%. In urban driving, the new 208 HYBRID 100 and HYBRID 136 can operate in 100% zero-emission electric mode for more than 50% of the time.
  • Efficient Petrol Engines: The PEUGEOT 208 continues to offer efficient petrol engines with two options: the PureTech 75 with a five-speed manual gearbox and the PureTech 100 with a six-speed manual gearbox.

 

Technology: Added Features and Value

 

As part of the updates, Peugeot has introduced new technologies and features in the 208 and e-208 models.

 

  • More USB Sockets: The ALLURE and GT versions now come with three USB-C sockets as standard (two in the front and one in the rear) and one USB-A socket in the rear.
  • More Powerful Wireless Charging for Smartphones: GT models are equipped with a new 15W induction wireless charger for smartphones as standard, an upgrade from the previous 5W system. It is available as an option on ALLURE models.
  • High-Definition Parking Cameras: The new front and rear parking cameras on the 208 offer high-definition image quality. The 360° camera technology is also available, depending on the trim level.

Driving Aids: Comprehensive Range of Driving Assistance Technologies

 

The new 208 and e-208 are equipped with various driving assistance and safety technologies, including:

 

  • Adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function and adjustable vehicle distance settings.
  • Automatic emergency braking with collision warning: capable of detecting pedestrians and cyclists day or night, at speeds from 4mph up to 87mph (where allowed).
  • Extended road sign recognition and display on the digital instrument cluster, capable of detecting stop signs, one-way streets, and other road signs in addition to speed limit signs.

Peugeot Opens Orders for New 508 and New 508 SW

Peugeot has started accepting orders for the new 508, 508 SW, and 508 Peugeot Sport Engineered models. These models come with updated exterior and interior designs, new technologies, and simplified trim options. The prices for the new 508 range start at £34,020 OTR MRRP, while the Peugeot Sport Engineered variants start at £53,825. Deliveries are expected to begin in September.

The new Peugeot 508 range features various updates in exterior and interior styling that incorporate the latest Peugeot design developments. The front now boasts an extended grille with the Peugeot shield, body-colored accents on Allure and GT variants, and a black grille for a more aggressive look in the Peugeot Sport Engineered models.

Peugeot has also upgraded the front and rear lighting for all new 508 variants. Matrix LED headlights with the iconic 3-claw signature are now standard across all models, and the rear lights feature new Full 3D lights with the same signature and scrolling direction indicators.

The design update includes the introduction of two new wheel designs. Allure models offer 17-inch ‘MERION’ wheels with a new finish, and GT models come with 18-inch ‘EPHERRA’ wheels. Additionally, GT models offer 19-inch ‘AUGUSTA’ wheels as an option. The color options have expanded with the addition of three new metallic paints: Eclipse Blue, Titane Grey, and Okenite White. Selenium Grey, previously exclusive to the Peugeot Sport Engineered versions, is now available throughout the range.

Interior styling updates

Several changes have been made to the interior design of the new 508. Allure models now include a new half-leather trim with ‘Falgo’ cloth and ‘Quartz’ stitch detail. GT models feature a half-leather trim with Alcantara® and ‘Aikinite’ stitching. The optional ‘Mistral Black Nappa Leather’ seats now have the new Peugeot shield embossed on the front seat headrests. The steering wheel in all new 508 variants now also showcases the new Peugeot shield, and GT variants have PEUGEOT lettering on the front door sills.

Technology

One major update across the new 508 range is that every variant now comes standard with the Peugeot i-Connect® Advanced infotainment and 3D Connected Navigation. The 10-inch HD touchscreen can be fully customized, like a tablet, with eight individual driver and passenger profiles. The voice recognition command, “OK Peugeot,” enhances safety and convenience. The driver instrument cluster features a new design inspired by the new 308 and 408 range, and a new e-Toggle replaces the previous gear selector. PLUG-IN HYBRID variants offer an additional control to adjust the level of regenerative braking. The new 508 models also include upgrades in cameras, connectivity, and charging options.

Simplified trim line-up

Along with the model updates, Peugeot has simplified the trim line-up for both the new 508 and 508 SW. The models are now available in Allure, GT, and Peugeot Sport Engineered variants, making it easier for customers to choose the right model for their needs.

The prices for the new 508 start at £34,020 OTR MRRP, while the new 508 SW models start at £35,220 OTR MRRP. The high-performance Peugeot Sport Engineered models start at £53,825 OTR MRRP for the Fastback and £55,025 OTR MRRP for the SW.

NEW PEUGEOT 2008 OPEN FOR ORDERS

PEUGEOT order books for the new 2008 will open Monday 12 June, with first deliveries due later this summer. Available in three trim levels – Active, Allure and GT – and with a choice of electric and petrol powertrains, prices for the new 2008 start from £24,020 OTR.

 

A more assertive design

 

With an updated, more assertive design, the new 2008 benefits from a wider front end incorporating the PEUGEOT shield. The extended grille is finished in gloss black on Active models, while Allure and GT trims feature a body-coloured grille design.

 

The front of the new 2008 also adopts the latest PEUGEOT light signature, first seen on the new 508 and 508 SW, with new ‘three-claw’ LED daytime running lights and new LED rear lights on all versions. Full LED headlights are available on GT models.

 

At the rear, PEUGEOT lettering runs across the entire width of the boot lid. Active models feature 16-inch wheels with a new stylish ‘Silom’ trim, while Allure and GT trims are fitted with new 17-inch ‘Karakoy’ diamond-cut alloys. GT models are further distinguished by a black diamond roof.

 

Electric and petrol powertrains

 

The new 2008 will be available from launch with a new, fully electric powertrain. Available across all trim levels, the e-2008’s new 54kWh battery brings an increased range of up to 251 miles (WLTP), while a new electric motor increases power to 156hp – an increase of 15%.

 

Customers can also opt for a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine. The PureTech 100, available exclusively in Active trim, is paired with a six-speed manual gearbox, while the PureTech 130 (available in Allure and GT trims) can be combined with either an EAT8 eight-speed automatic gearbox or a six-speed manual gearbox.

 

From 2024, a new 136hp HYBRID powertrain will join the 2008 line-up, combining a 1.2-litre PureTech petrol engine with a new six-speed dual-clutch electrified gearbox incorporating an electric motor – offering up to a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions over petrol models.

 

Specification

 

PEUGEOT has simplified the trim line-up on the new 2008, bringing it into line with the rest of the PEUGEOT range. Customers can choose from Active, Allure and GT, while a First Edition model is available exclusively on the fully electric e-2008.

 

Inside, all new 2008 models now come with a 10-inch central touchscreen as standard as part of PEUGEOT’s innovative i-Cockpit®, as well as a row of toggle switches for quick access to key functions. The upgraded i-Cockpit® also includes a new compact steering wheel featuring the PEUGEOT shield.

 

Active models feature a new ‘Calcite’ interior stitching and ‘Mistral’ roof lining as well as a suite of safety and convenience features, such as rear parking sensors, cruise control with speed limiter and automatic emergency braking. A new 10-inch Touchscreen and Wireless MirrorScreen for Apple Carplay™ and Android Auto™ complete the Active trim.

 

Meanwhile, Allure trim brings an enhanced technology offering including PEUGEOT’s i-Connect infotainment system with natural voice recognition, as well as a new 10-inch digital instrument cluster. Front parking sensors, an electronic handbrake and a drive mode selector are also standard on Allure models.

 

Completing the standard line-up, GT trim adds a 3D Quartz digital instrument cluster, an HD reversing camera and full LED headlights with Smartbeam Assist and automatic height adjustment. A leather steering wheel with GT lettering, keyless entry and wireless smartphone charging enhance comfort and connectivity. Drivers can also choose from eight colours of ambient lighting linked to the drive modes.

 

To celebrate the launch of the new e-2008, PEUGOT is offering a First Edition model with an enhanced specification based on GT trim. Additional features include heated Alcantara® seats with ‘Adamite’ stitching. The driver’s seat is also electrically adjustable and comes with a massage function. A tri-phase 11kW onboard charger is fitted as standard (available as an option on other trims), while upgraded infotainment is provided with the PEUGEOT i-Connect® Advanced with Connected Navigation.

 

The First Edition will be available exclusively in two new body colours for the new 2008 – Selenium Grey and Okenite White.

 

The new 2008 is available to order now, with prices starting from £24,020 OTR.
