2025 Peugeot E-5008

After last year’s introduction of the E-3008 model, Peugeot has expanded its range of electric cars with a new electric SUV, the Peugeot E-5008. It will officially hit the market in Q3 2024.

The car is 4.79 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 1.69 meters high, with a wheelbase of 2.9 meters. At first glance, it is identical to the smaller E-3008 model, and customers will be able to choose six body colors: Obsession Blue, Ingaro Blue, Okenite White, Pearl Black, Artense Gray and Titanium Grey.

This SUV, with three rows of seats, is extremely spacious and can accommodate up to seven passengers, and provides 259 liters of luggage space, which can be increased to 748 liters by folding the seats. It is equipped with a luxurious GT equipment kit that brings a two-tone body, LED headlights, heated electrically adjustable seats trimmed in Alcantara, an ambient lighting system and a space for wireless charging of mobile phones, while a 21-inch curved i-Cockpit panel is standard.

When it comes to the powertrain, the E-5008 is powered by a single electric motor with 214 hp (159 kW) and 254 lb-ft (345 Nm) of torque. This version is equipped with a 73 kWh battery that provides a range of 500 km. Customers can also choose a more powerful Long Range version with 231 hp (172 kW) with a larger 98 kWh battery that provides a range of 660 km. If you want more power, there is an option with two electric motors and 320 hp (239 kW), 98 kWh battery and a range of 500 km.

Peugeot also offers the E-5008 as a hybrid. Under the bonnet is a 1.2 liter petrol engine with 136 hp (101 kW) combined with a mild 48V hybrid drive. The company points out that this option reduces fuel consumption by about 15 percent, compared to the ICE version.

Peugeot E-3008 coming soon

The official premiere of the new Peugeot E-3008 is approaching, and the French manufacturer has published several teasers of this fully electric car.

The first all-electric Peugeot, developed on the STLA Medium platform, and the first photos of the SUV show that the car will have narrow headlights, triple daytime running lights, a partially covered front fascia, futuristic wheels and a black roof. Inside, a new version of the Panoramic i-Cockpit, a curved 21-inch screen, a Head-up display and a central screen of the multimedia system are some of the components that come with this SUV. Of course, there is also the recognizable small steering wheel, while the central console contains a smaller screen with shortcuts for various functions of the multimedia system and secondary controls.

Although Peugeot successfully hides information about this car, at least until the premiere, some information says that the E-3008 will be equipped with 400-volt technology, without super-fast chargers. It will be offered with two battery types, 86 and 98 kWh from Chinese manufacturer BYD, with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells that can be recharged frequently and also last longer than the ternary lithium batteries used in most electric vehicles (Tesla ).

When it comes to the powertrain, the E-3008 will be offered in versions with one or two electric motors. The base model will be powered by a single electric motor with 217 hp (160 kW) and front-wheel drive. A more powerful version of the E-3008 will be powered by two electric motors, one on each axle, with a total power of 387 hp (285 kW). The company promises a range of 500 kilometers with a smaller battery and 700 kilometers with a 98 kWh battery.

2023 Peugeot Inception Concept

At this year’s CES, many car makers took the opportunity to present their new concepts and cars, such as the French manufacturer Peugeot, which premiered the Inception Concept. It is an electric car that will be the basis for future models whose arrival is expected at the beginning of 2025.

The car is based on Stellantis’ STLA Large platform, with a length of 5 meters and a height of 1.34 meters. One of the biggest features of Inception’s design is the glass, which has an area of as much as 7.25 square meters. Peugeot uses Narima glass, which has undergone a metal oxide treatment that was originally designed to coat the helmet visors for NASA astronauts. It gives the windows a yellow tint while maintaining their thermal qualities. This advanced technology will be used in cars from 2025 and it is part of the company’s long-term plan to become the leading electric brand by the end of the decade.

Inception features a next-generation i-Cockpit with a new Hypersquare control system that replaces mechanical controls with a drive-by-wire control system. The centerpiece of the technology is the rectangular steering wheel that we see in video games. Various vehicle controls such as climate and radio volume are accessible just by moving your thumb and keeping your hand on the steering wheel. Thanks to this, the cockpit is transformed from a space intended for the driver to a space oriented to comfort. So in the Inception Hypersquare, the steering wheel can be retracted, while the control panel can be hidden to create a more comfortable cabin. The car also has level 4 autonomous driving thanks to STLA AutoDrive technology.

It is powered by two electric motors with almost 680 hp, and has AWD. That’s enough power to reach 62 mph (100 km/h) in less than three seconds. It uses 800 Volt technology, has a large 100 kWh battery and offers a range of up to 800 kilometers with a single charge. Thanks to its induction charging system, the battery can be recharged to offer a new 150 km of range in just five minutes.
