    Verdict<\/h2>\n

    Peugeot has given its popular 2008 range a nip and tuck that goes more than skin deep. While ICE and electric versions benefit from improved safety and infotainment, it\u2019s the E-2008\u2019s increased range that represents the largest, most impressive change. It\u2019s more expensive than some rivals, but it feels it. The so-so chassis and rear-seat space are the main things that keep it from challenging the class leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The 2008 has become one of Peugeot\u2019s greatest success stories of recent years. Since it was released in 2019, over 700,000 have been produced, and in 2021 it was the best-selling small SUV in Europe.<\/p>\n

    Peugeot isn\u2019t simply settling on a job well done, however, because four years into its life, the 2008 has received an update \u2013 and the most significant changes come to the all-electric E-2008 we\u2019re driving here.<\/p>\n

    The full line-up has been given a new look, with the biggest overhaul at the front. There\u2019s a new grille design that gets vertical inserts, while extra trim on its outer edges increases the impression of width and blends more neatly with the lights. These also feature a new \u2018triple claw\u2019 signature, which is repeated in the tail-lights.<\/p>\n

    One of our biggest criticisms of the E-2008 has been its in-car tech, but the revised model gets an all-new infotainment system. The 10-inch screen features a new, cleaner menu structure with customisable widgets to prioritise shortcuts for frequently used features. It looks even sharper than before, but more importantly, it\u2019s more responsive and easier to figure out. It still lacks physical climate controls, though, and the temperature settings aren\u2019t a permanent fixture on the screen either. Apart from some new trim, the rest of the cabin is largely unchanged, as is the roomy 434-litre boot.<\/p>\n

    The largest changes can be found within the updated E-2008\u2019s powertrain. As before, a single motor sits up front, but with 154bhp, it makes 20bhp more than its predecessor. Battery size is up from 50kWh to 54kWh, and in conjunction with other software tweaks, this increases the car\u2019s claimed range from 214 to 250 miles. Despite its extra energy, the battery weighs 5kg less than the old pack, too.<\/p>\n
