- Peugeot launched new versions of the E-3008 and E-5008, offering up to 435 miles of range.
- The company also offers a PHEV powertrain option with a 52-mile EV-only range.
- The new models join the already available mild-hybrid and short-range BEV powertrain options.
Peugeot has expanded the lineup of the 3008 and 5008 SUVs in Europe, with the addition of PHEV and longer-range EV powertrain options, next to the mild-hybrid and standard EV models. The news come one year after the debut of the Peugeot 3008, and six months after the debut of the 5008.
The plug-in hybrid setup comprises an updated version of the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder PureTech engine, and a 123 hp (92 kW / 125 PS) electric motor, housed within a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The combined output is 192 hp (143 kW / 195 PS) and 350 Nm (258 lb-ft) of torque, transmitted to the front axle.

The new PHEV might be less powerful compared to its AWD-capable predecessor but offers a longer zero-emission range. More specifically, the 21 kWh battery pack allows an EV-only WLTP range of up to 52 miles (84 km), with charging taking place in 2 hours and 45 minutes. The driver has access to three driving modes – Hybrid, Electric, and Sport – prioritizing performance or efficiency.
The same powertrain is also available for the larger Peugeot 5008, with an incrementally shorter EV-only range of 51 miles (82 km). Thanks to the packaging of the STLA Medium architecture, the new PHEVs have identical boot space to their BEV and mild-hybrid counterparts.

Peugeot has also announced the forthcoming launch of “Long-Range 230 Electric” versions of the E-3008 and E-5008, crowning the respective lineups. The flagship BEVs benefit from a 96.9 kWh battery pack, up from the standard 73 kWh unit.
As a result, they strike an impressive WLTP range of 435 miles (700 km) for the E-3008, and 415 miles (668 km) for the bulkier and heavier E-5008. Both Long-Range 230 Electric models are fitted with a single electric motor producing 227 hp (170 kW / 230 PS) and are compatible with 160 kW DC charging.
The company proudly states that the Peugeot E-3008 compact electric SUV can complete a trip from Paris to Nice with two stops, compared to “at least three stops from all its competitors”.
The PHEVs are already available to order in most European markets, while the long-range EVs are set to arrive shortly after their debut at the Paris Motor Show. In the table below, you can see the current starting prices of all different powertrain types in France (the BEV figures are for the entry-level models with the smaller battery).
