Peugeot is readying the next-generation 3008. The refreshed model will spawn the all-electric E-3008, which the automaker is previewing ahead of the crossover\u2019s full debut on September 12.<\/p>\n
This is our first complete look at the redesigned model from the outside, and it looks like a modern Peugeot without its camouflage. The E-3008 has super-slim headlights sitting high on the vehicle\u2019s face, with the daytime running lights slicing through the bodywork underneath.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
These DRLs flank the crossover\u2019s unique grille design, which features the brand\u2019s badge and sits below the model word mark. The E-3008 looks angular from the rear, with a chunky bumper below a thin, full-width taillight element. It has some unique creases in the sheet metal that extend from the outer corners of the bumper to the liftgate glass.<\/p>\n
Peugeot showed off the 3008\u2019s new interior in early June. The crossover will have the brand\u2019s new Panoramic i-Cockpit, a 21-inch curved display that floats above the fabric-like dashboard. Expect to see it in other future models. The gear selector sits on the instrument panel, sandwiched between the start-stop button and a slim row of i-Toggles \u2013 10 configurable, touch-sensitive buttons.<\/p>\n
Between the seats is a stylized center console with a unique motif of buttons connecting the console to the dashboard. There are two cup holders and what appears to be a wireless charging pad on the passenger\u2019s side. The squished steering wheel features various buttons for vehicle controls and a GT badge along the bottom.<\/p>\n
We don\u2019t have specific powertrain details for the all-electric E-3008, but it should be similar to the electric version of the 308. It\u2019ll be available with three all-electric powertrain options, with the EV likely featuring more power and larger batteries. It will have a dual-motor option that gives it all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n
Peugeot will also offer the crossover with a mild-hybrid powertrain. The company pairs a 1.2-liter gasoline engine with some electric assist for a combined output of 134 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque. The new six-speed dual-clutch automatic houses the electric motor and inverter, adding 28 hp and 41 lb-ft of twist to the system. The company could offer a plug-in hybrid version, too.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ll see the new Peugeot E-3008 break cover in France next Tuesday at 12:30 pm CET (6:30 am ET).<\/p>\n
