On sale now, it’s the third powertrain option for the models and delivers all-wheel drive along with peak performance.

The new addition joins the Electric 210 and the Long Range Electric 230 models; the latter launched late 2024 and boast some of the best range figures in the SUV market.

The E-3008 and E-5008 Dual Motors combine the standard 213hp front-wheel-drive electric motor with an additional 112hp electric motor for the rear wheels. Together, they offer all-wheel drive functionality with a total power output of 325hp and a maximum torque of 509Nm.

The E-3008 Dual Motor accelerates from 0-62mph in 6 seconds, with a figure of 6.5 seconds for the E-5008.

Both are fitted with a 73kWh (usable) lithium-ion NMC battery, offering a range of up to 303 miles and 289 miles respectively (WLTP combined cycle in Normal mode).

Charging time from 20% to 80% on DC rapid chargers is approximately 30 minutes. An 11kW three-phase onboard charger is fitted as standard to both models.

The all-wheel drive has four driving modes available: Normal, where the front motor and wheels are prioritised; 4WD; Sport and Eco. Hill Assist Descent Control is standard on Dual Motor versions.

The new Dual Motor versions are on sale now in an exclusive Launch Edition trim. “This includes all the standard equipment of the top GT trim, such as a Black Diamond roof and rear spoiler, Pixel LED matrix headlights, motorised tailgate and the Peugeot i-Connect Advanced infotainment system with connected navigation and wireless smartphone mirroring and charging, heated front seats and adaptive cruise control.

The Dual Motor Launch Edition versions also gain 20-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and a standard heat pump, black Alcantara upholstery and an embossed Peugeot shield emblem in the front headrests. The front seats feature 10-way electric adjustment, a massage function with a choice of five patterns and three intensities, adaptive bolsters and a memory function for the driver’s seat. Both the front and rear seats are also heated. A panoramic opening sunroof and eight-colour ambient lighting add to the premium feel, while the Clean Cabin system optimises interior air quality.

The E-3008 Dual Motor Launch Edition also comes with a Focal 10-speaker Hi-Fi system, consisting of four tweeters, four speakers, a central speaker and a subwoofer.

Both Launch Edition models come as standard with the 360° Vision & Drive Assist Pack, featuring four HD cameras for improved visibility when manoeuvring, rear cross traffic alert, long-range blind spot monitoring and flank guard protection.
