Description
The 2024 Peugeot E-2008 50kWh Allure is a stylish, tech-laden compact SUV that proves going electric doesn?t mean sacrificing personality. With its sharp, feline-inspired design, signature three-claw LED lights, and sleek, coupe-like profile, this isn?t just another forgettable EV crossover, it?s one that stands out. The Allure trim strikes a sweet spot in the range, offering a premium feel with its 10-inch infotainment touchscreen, digital i-Cockpit, and a generous suite of driver aids, all without pushing the price into premium territory.
Underneath, the updated 50kWh battery pack feeds a front-mounted electric motor producing 156 bhp and 260 Nm of instant torque. The result? A smooth, quiet, and surprisingly punchy drive, with 0-62 mph in around 9.1 seconds, more than enough for urban zipping and effortless motorway cruising. Peugeot claims up to 248 miles (WLTP) on a charge, and while real-world figures will sit closer to 200 miles, the efficiency remains competitive. When it?s time to plug in, 100kW rapid charging means a 10-80% top-up takes just 30 minutes, making long journeys perfectly viable.
On the road, the E-2008 delivers a refined, comfortable experience, with light but precise steering and a well-judged ride. Thanks to the low-mounted battery, it feels stable and composed, even when hustled through corners. Regenerative braking is present, but Peugeot keeps things natural, without the aggressive one-pedal feel of some rivals. It?s an EV designed to make the switch feel seamless, rather than radical.
For those seeking a stylish, practical, and user-friendly electric SUV, the E-2008 Allure is an attractive proposition. It blends Peugeot?s trademark design flair with solid range, fast charging, and a genuinely enjoyable driving experience. If this is the future of electric crossovers, it?s looking bright.
