Peugeot e-5008

Peugeot's introduction to the seven-seat electric car market is this 311-mile, sensibly sized SUV Seven-seat electric cars have been in short supply for some time. Other than a handful of fairly short-range, van-based options, the Mercedes-Benz EQB had the market to itself for some time, with the bigger Kia EV9 arriving only very recently. And now the new Peugeot e-5008 has joined the fray.Based on Peugeot parent company Stellantis's new STLA Medium platform, the e-5008 comes with a nickel-manganese-cobalt battery of either 73kWh or 96kWh in capacity.You can also have a 1.6 petrol plug-in hybrid (with an electric-only range of 48 miles), or a 1.2-litre petrol full-hybrid which we've tested separately.The single-motor 73kWh model is set to become the biggest seller, and has an official range of 310 miles. If range is your priority, then the big-battery version will also be available with a WLTP range of up to 410 miles. There's also the 325 Dual Motor, a performance-oriented 73kWh model which makes 321bhp from a twin-motor, four-wheel drive powertrain. It will only do up to 289 miles on a charge, however. Charging speeds max out at 160kW, which is claimed to be good enough for 62 miles of range in 10 minutes or 20-80% in 30 minutes. Not bad, but also nothing that’s going to worry Tesla, Kia or Hyundai.
