The electric SUV Peugeot E-3008 is available in an all-wheel drive version with 325 horsepower, but it is more expensive than the Tesla Model Y All-Wheel Drive.
After two years of waiting… it is necessary to wait a bit longer. Indeed, Peugeot has just opened orders for its new all-wheel drive configuration of the E-3008, but deliveries will not occur before December 2025.
What is this new Dual Motor version with 325 horsepower (240 kW)? It is quite an astonishing combination of generous power, two electric motors (213 hp or 157 kW at the front / 112 hp or 83 kW at the rear)… paired with the small 73 kWh battery. Wouldn’t choosing the larger 97 kWh battery have been wiser? Surprising.

Who is the E-3008 Dual Motor aimed at?
In this configuration, the Dual Motor only offers 489 kilometers and the 0 to 100 km/h takes 6.0 seconds. The main reason for these disappointing values is an astonishing weight of 2337 kg in running order and a certified consumption of 17.8 kWh/100 km. It should be noted that at this level, the heat pump remains optional at 800 euros, whereas it could have helped provide a bit more range. Perhaps by opting for the 97 kWh battery, this Peugeot E-3008 Dual Motor would have exceeded 2.5 tons, with the technical issues that entails.
In reality, you should plan for about 400 km of actual range. As for charging power, nothing groundbreaking either, with a maximum of 160 kW on fast charging, and up to 22 kW in alternating current.
For this launch, Peugeot offers a unique First Edition trim starting at 53,990 euros in the catalog. However, if you give in through the French manufacturer’s website, you will immediately benefit from a discount of 2000 euros. But this will not be enough to be eligible for the CEE Grant of at least 3100 euros. For that, dealers would need to apply XXL discounts to drop below the 47,000 euros mark… which will inevitably happen, given how the commercial success of this version seems far from certain.
One can also think that a non-First Edition version, a little less well-equipped, will be introduced later.
What is the point compared to a Tesla Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive?
But the real problem with this Peugeot E-3008 Dual Motor is not really its price, but the competition. And specifically, the market reference in the all-wheel drive version, the Tesla Model Y Long Range All-Wheel Drive.
Cheaper by 1000 euros, it offers much better range (586 km), better performance (0 to 100 km/h in 4.8 seconds), a gigantic trunk, amazing equipment, and finally a charging power of 250 kW in a unique Supercharger network worldwide.
Bluntly, the Peugeot E-3008 Dual Motor competes in the wrong category against much more relevant rivals. When you aspire to be an outsider, you break prices and codes. Here…
