All-New Peugeot E-3008 Adopts STLA Medium Platform, Can Cover 435 Miles on a Single Charge

Just recently, we read about the 2024 Jeep Wrangler that just crossed the big pond (aka the Atlantic Ocean) and landed on the Old Continent boasting four important novelties – a new seven-slot grille, additional safety features, more airbags, and a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment display. That's not all, but we are here to talk about another brand from the Stellantis portfolio, actually.

Suppose the Jeep Wrangler, with its new full-floating Dana rear axle, is obviously an off-road-focused SUV destined to embark on many wild adventures in the wilderness. In that case, the all-new Peugeot E-3008 is precisely its opposite – a flamboyant and cool-town-lifestyle-seeking coupe SUV of the crossover variety. However, it too boasts a major novelty – this is the first model in Stellantis' portfolio equipped with the all-new STLA Medium architecture.

It's also a "next-level fastback SUV," as Peugeot likes to call it – one that was presented from outside a few days before its world premiere on September 12 at the Sochaux plant in France, where it will be exclusively produced and shipped to dealers from February next year. After two generations under its belt, over 1.32 million units sold in 130 countries over the past seven years alone, the new Peugeot E-3008 – in Allure or GT form – switches to full electric power.

The range will comprise three option packs plus three zero-emission powertrains, with 210 horsepower, 230 hp for the Long Range variant, and a four-wheel drive Dual Motor with 320 ponies. "The launch of the Next-Level E-3008 is a major step in PEUGEOT's radical transformation into an alluring 100% electric brand that sets new benchmarks for design, driving pleasure and efficiency," explained Linda Jackson, CEO of Peugeot, during the launch event.

Next year, more details about the larger Peugeot SUV to be offered above the E-3008 (most likely the new E-5008) will be offered, but before that, let us take a quick look at what the 'fastback SUV' has to offer. In both Allure and GT format, the exterior design is pretty much what you expect from Peugeot if you have seen its most recent style. On the inside, however, there are a few significant novelties. And no, the little steering wheel hasn't gone away – it is still here to stay.

Instead, Peugeot's latest Panoramic i-Cockpit is towering above it, fitted with a curved 21-inch screen, customizable i-Toggles, and the company's i-Connect Advanced (connected) infotainment system. However, the Allure model doesn't have all that – replaced instead with a couple of 10-inch digital panels. More importantly, let us talk about the zippy electrons.

For example, on the Long Range model, fast charging is on board at up to 160 kW for 20 to 80% SoC (state-of-charge) in less than 30 minutes. If you're stuck with a regular outlet, then AC charging happens at 11 kW or optionally at 22 kW. The battery packs are still based on 400V technology, and there are two options – 73 kWh for the standard and Dual Motor options, plus 98 kWh for the Long Range model – meaning you can choose between a WLTP range of 525 or 700 km (326 to 435 miles). It looks sporty, feels high-tech inside, and goes for long trips – that's excellent, right?
