Electric driving comes with new driving sensations. Both models’ 100kW engine (136hp) provides instant acceleration with immediate engine torque of 260Nm, as well as the pleasure of flexible, dynamic, and silent driving. The e-208 and e-2008 deliver three driving modes: The ‘Sport’ mode which prioritises performance and driving sensations (0-100km/h in 8.5s), ‘Normal’ for everyday use and ‘Eco’ to optimise battery life and range.
To enjoy the full driving capability of Peugeot’s latest EV’s a number of charging options are available, at home or using public EV charging stations.
Both models are set to land in New Zealand for spring and qualify for the maximum rebate under the Clean Car Discount.
In 2022 the e-208 and e-2008 will be accompanied by an expanded range of Peugeot Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that are eligible for a $5750 rebate.
Capping the PHEV range will be two high-performance Peugeot Sport versions of the 508 sedan and 508 estate/wagon pumping out 265kW and 520Nm.
In the second half of 2022, Peugeot will really take things up a notch on the battery-powered light commercial vehicle front with the debut of the mid-sized e-Expert and smaller e-Partner vans.
Both will have payloads (e-E: 1226kg; e-P: 800kg) and daily operating ranges (e-E: 330km; e-P: 245km) that will make them workable vehicles for businesses keen to be seen being clean.
