The Peugeot e-2008 holds a significant place in the Australian market as the brand’s first-ever fully electric passenger vehicle. While it shared its platform with the combustion-powered 2008, it offered a stylish, zero-emissions option in the popular compact SUV segment.

For a time, the e-2008 was available in a single, well-equipped GT variant. This model featured a 50 kWh battery pack and a single electric motor, providing a WLTP driving range of up to 328 km. It was praised for its distinctive “lion claw” styling, premium interior with Peugeot’s i-Cockpit, and a decent list of standard features.

However, the e-2008’s availability has recently shifted. Peugeot Australia heavily discounted the remaining stock of the e-2008 during 2024, selling them for an impressive nationwide drive-away price of $39,990 to clear the way for newer models. As a result, the e-2008 is currently no longer available to order new.

For those interested in a new e-2008, the wait is now on for a facelifted model, which has already been unveiled in Europe. This updated version is expected to feature a larger battery with a longer driving range, refreshed styling, and new technology. While Peugeot Australia had previously indicated the new model would arrive in 2024, there has been a delay and its future in the Australian market is now uncertain, as the company has shifted its focus towards a hybrid lineup for the 2008. Customers will need to stay tuned for an official announcement from Peugeot Australia regarding if or when this new electric model will arrive.
