Responsive and refined drivetrain PEUGEOT e-2008

The PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV features an impressive drivetrain that combines power and efficiency. This all-electric SUV is equipped with a state-of-the-art electric motor and battery system, providing a thrilling and efficient driving experience.

At the heart of the e-2008 SUV’s drivetrain is a S0kWh lithium-ion battery pack strategically placed low in the floor of the vehicle to optimise weight distribution and stability. This battery pack powers an electric motor that delivers a maximum output of 100kW and 260Nm providing instant torque and a smooth and quiet ride.

Charging the e-2008 SUV is convenient and fast, supporting both AC and DC charging. With a DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 0% to 80% capacity in as little as approximately 30 minutes3. The Australian specification PEUGEOT e-2008 comes as standard with a three-phase 11kW charger.

Indicative charging times

Indicative charging times for the e-2008 via the S0kWh battery capacity include:

  • Approximately thirty minutes rapid charge from 0-80% capacity via a DC Current (100kW)3
  • Approximately five hours from 0-100% capacity via a three Phase 16A Wallbox (11kW)3
  • Approximately seven hours and thirty minutes from 0-100% capacity via a single Phase 32A Wallbox (7.4kW)3

The e-2008 SUV offers multiple driving modes to suit different preferences and driving conditions. In Normal mode, the vehicle delivers a balanced and efficient performance. In Eco mode, the power output is optimised for maximum range, perfect for longer journeys or when conserving energy is a priority. For those seeking a more dynamic driving experience, the Sport mode provides enhanced responsiveness and acceleration.

Furthermore, two modes of energy recovery when braking are available and accessible directly from the gear selector:

  • Drive (” D”), recovery is standard, for driving similar to an internal combustion vehicle; and
  • Brake (“B”), recovery allows deceleration directly from the accelerator pedal.

The batteries are optimally installed low in the floor, ensuring that choosing an electric version won’t affect the performance or stowage capabilities of the new e-2008.

For peace of mind, all e-2008 models are supported by an eight-year, 160,000km battery warranty7.

e-2008 Active safety

The PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV prioritises safety and convenience with its comprehensive range of advanced driver-assistance systems. It’s suite of driver assistance systems include:

Adaptive cruise control with stop and go function: This system uses radar and cameras to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting the speed to match the traffic flow. It can even bring the vehicle to a complete stop and resume driving when the traffic starts moving again.

Autonomous emergency braking: Which uses sensors to help detect potential collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. If a collision is imminent, the system alerts the driver and applies the brakes automatically to help mitigate or avoid the impact.

Blind Spot Detection (BSD): BSD uses lateral ultrasound sensors which work in conjunction with the windscreen-mounted camera to cover areas outside a driver’s field of vision. Used when the PEUGEOT e-2008 SUV is overtaking – or being overtaken by – another vehicle, it illuminates an LED light in either door mirror to alert drivers to the presence of a range of vehicles including bicycles, motorcycles, cars or trucks.

Lane Departure Warning with unmarked edge protection: The lane departure system uses its camera to detect road edge surface difference to help keep the car on-tract.

Acoustic Vehicle Alert System (AVAS): Which generates sound when travelling at low speed, audible outside the vehicle to support pedestrian safety.

Traffic Safety Suite: This includes features such as vehicle distance alert, driver attention alert monitor and traffic sign recognition.

Additionally, the e-2008 SUV incorporates other safety systems such as blind-spot monitoring, anti-lock brakes, electronic brake-force distribution, electronic stability control, rear cross-traffic alert, and a 360-degree camera. These systems help to provide additional awareness and assistance to the driver during lane changes, parking, and other manoeuvres.
