EV Deal of the Day: stylish Peugeot E-2008 for only £211 per month

• Good build quality
• Decent boot space
• Low running costs

The Peugeot 2008 is a small SUV that stands out from its rivals with its eye-catching looks and good build quality, while offering a practical boot and useful onboard technology. When you swap its petrol engine for an all-electric powertrain, you get the E-2008, which is also able to provide emissions-free motoring and lower daily running costs – a consideration which will be high on the agenda of most family buyers.

True, we’ve often said that the e-2008 is hamstrung by its relatively high list price – which brings it into more premium territory – but this four-year PCH (Personal Contract Hire) deal from VIP Gateway, through our parent site Carwow, looks to have solved that particular problem. You’ll need to provide an initial payment of £2,719.77, followed by monthly instalments of £210.56, while there’s a 5,000-mile annual limit.

This Active model comes with LED headlights, rear parking sensors, automatic air-conditioning, and Peugeot’s i-Cockpit set-up, which brings a 10-inch colour infotainment touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s a host of active safety systems, too, including Lane Keep Assist, speed-limit recognition and a driver-attention warning.

Admittedly, the cabin is a bit of a mixed bag; that solid build quality and a large practical boot are certainly positives, but although there’s decent enough room up front, the rear passengers will be more cramped. Small doors can also make getting into the back a little awkward, so we probably wouldn’t recommend the E-2008 if, for instance, you regularly have to transport younger kids in child seats. This issue, along with making sure that you’re fine with the ergonomics of the i-Cockpit design, would be points we’d highlight to check before any potential purchase. 

With its 50kWh battery and single electric motor, this 134bhp e-2008 model manages a respectable 0-62mph time of 9.8 seconds, while Peugeot claims it should be good for around 201 to 232 miles from a full charge across a mixture of roads.
