The verdict

What's good

Fastback EV occupies a unique niche — almost no direct competitors at this price
Cabin NVH drops noticeably over the petrol 408 on the same chassis
Long range driving position is well-supported with adjustable lumbar standard
285-mile range satisfies most weekly use without mid-week charging

What's not

FWD only — no AWD option available
Charging speed is limited and lags Model 3 and Ioniq 6 significantly
Higher price versus competitors with better range and faster charging
Peugeot EV after-sales experience is less mature than established EV brands

The engine

Electric

Single-Motor Electric

The e-208 and e-2008 deliver brisk, quiet around-town pace from a single front motor, with the relaxed low-speed torque that makes small EVs feel livelier than their numbers suggest.

They ride on the e-CMP electric version of the Common Modular Platform, jointly developed by PSA (now Stellantis) and China's Dongfeng for compact cars across multiple Stellantis brands.

The very same electric drive unit is shared across Peugeot, Citroën, Opel/Vauxhall and DS small cars, a hallmark of Stellantis' modular strategy.
Peugeot traces its electric-car lineage back to the wartime VLV, a tiny battery-powered city car the brand built in the early 1940s.
The shared platform was designed from the outset to take either combustion or electric power on the same production line.
