Peugeot E-2008 Now One of the Cheapest EVs in Runout Deal

The battle for the cheapest electric vehicle in Australia has a new contender, or at least temporarily thanks to a runout deal just launched by Peugeot Cars Australia. Until June 30th or until stocks last, the Peugeot E-2008 electric SUV is priced at $39,990 drive away or at a massive $22,632 discount on its retail price in a runout deal before the facelifted version is launched later in the year. It’s unclear how many E-2008s are in stock, but we expect them to be sold quickly at this price.

At this discount, the E-2008 is priced towards the bottom end of the local EV market and equal to the new pricing for the entry-level MG 4 51kWh Excite and $1,200 less than the BYD Dolphin, though still $4,000 more than the GWM Ora‘s also-temporary EOFY price. But all of these temporary pricepoint rivals are all hatchbacks, whereas the Peugeot is a small SUV, increasing its new value equation further.

Under the bonnet of the Peugeot E-2008 is a 100kW/260Nm electric motor that drives the front wheels. That is fed by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery that can be charged from 0 to 80 per cent in as little as 30 minutes (using a 100kW fast charger) or around five hours with an 11kW AC charger. The claimed range for the e-2008 is 328km on the WLTP cycle – just 22km less than the MG 4 51.
