Peugeot e-2008: What online owner reviews say

Before scheduling a test drive, it’s useful to know what those who already use it daily think. We analyzed 13 owner reviews of the Peugeot e-2008, ranging from the first buyer in 2020 to a driver of the updated 54 kWh version purchased in 2026. The average rating obtained was 3.97/5. Here are the most common comments.

Design and driving pleasure: the points on which everyone agrees

On this topic, opinions are consistent, even among the most critical owners. One driver describes it as “a beautiful vehicle with its massive grille,” while another speaks of a car that is “luxurious in appearance, highly desirable, with a very distinctive and strong style.” Even the most negative review, filled with frustration over the vehicle’s reliability, readily acknowledges “the pleasure of driving a Peugeot, its aesthetic beauty.” Its road behavior is also praised several times: “very good” handling, and a vehicle that is “easy to maneuver and pleasant thanks to its low weight.” It’s worth noting that the Peugeot e-2008 shares this styling philosophy with its sibling, the Peugeot 308.

Range: a discrepancy from the advertised figures that appears in most reviews

This is by far the most discussed topic, and the findings are remarkably consistent across different opinions, whether generally positive or negative. Several owners mention a real range of around 290 to 350 kilometers in urban or moderate driving conditions, but it drops significantly on the highway: “At 110 km/h, you have to halve the range,” notes one of them, while another confirms that the range doesn’t exceed 200 to 250 kilometers at 130 km/h. However, a recent driver with the 54 kWh version provides a more reassuring update: he reports an WLTP range achievable at 100 km/h, and up to 220 kilometers when driving at 110 km/h with 80 to 20% battery charge — a sign that the latest version of this model has made progress in this regard.

Another recurring issue is that the range indicator sometimes lacks precision, with variations that can reach 10% of the indicated range according to one review, which may cause concern during a tight journey.

Economical home charging, with public charging networks showing greater inequality over the years

Here too, a clear trend emerges: home charging is universally favored. One owner estimates savings of around 17,000 euros over 200,000 kilometers compared to an equivalent diesel version, while another mentions a full charge for “4 euros per night.” The newer 54 kWh version also benefits from fast charging times: 20 to 25 minutes to go from 20% to 80%, without a significant drop in power as it approaches 80%.

MyPeugeot, the weakest point mentioned most frequently

If there is one critical aspect to be aware of before purchasing, it’s the MyPeugeot app. One owner described it bluntly as the vehicle’s “biggest flaw.” Several reviews mention the inability to monitor battery level remotely as advertised, or a startup process for preheating that seems too slow. It’s not a defect of the vehicle itself, but it’s something to test during a trial drive if remote control is important to you.

Key Takeaways

Peugeot’s driving style and pleasure are universally praised, home charging is a real economic advantage, and the latest version seems to have improved in terms of range and charging speed. What you need to check for yourself is the actual range on your usual routes, especially if you drive frequently on highways. This is precisely what a test drive allows you to determine, along your own route and at your own pace.

I’m saving my test drive of the Peugeot e-2008 for later.
