The new E-3008, the Next-Level Electric Fastback SUV, has been reinvented thanks to Stellantis’ brand new STLA-Medium platform which debuts with the E-3008. This innovative platform has been designed to be the best-in-class for the criteria most important to customers: range (up to 435 miles), recharge time (10 minutes for 60 miles), driving pleasure, performance, design efficiency (around 4,5 miles per kWh) and connected services (Trip Planner, Smart charging, remote functions and “Over-The-Air” updates).

The new Panoramic i-Cockpit enhances driving pleasure with a spectacular 21” curved floating HD screen that brings together the head-up display and the central touchscreen, which comes as standard across the range in the UK.
The new E-3008 will be produced exclusively at the Sochaux plant in France. It is already available to order in many European countries and will go on sale in early 2024.
By 2025, Peugeot has the ambition to become the EV leader in Europe. The E-3008 is at the heart of the brand’s EV strategy, which consists of nine passenger cars and three LCVs, and makes it the widest and the most efficient line-up of any mainstream brand.
