Peugeot 2008 - MPG, CO2 and running costs

The regular Peugeot 2008 is frugal, but insurance costs are higher than rivals, and the electric version depreciates heavily

The most efficient Peugeot 2008 is the Hybrid 136 version, which returns up to 62.1mpg and emissions as low as 102g/km. That’s followed by the 129bhp petrol model, which in six-speed manual form achieves 52.7mpg and 125g/km, while pairing that engine with the automatic transmission drops the figures to up to 48.9mpg and 133g/km.

The regular PureTech petrol engines compare well with rivals, while the mild-hybrid adds a small electric motor that provides some low-speed electric driving potential, or a short burst of electrical assistance when accelerating to reduce the load on the engine, helping to save fuel and reduce emissions.

Electric range, battery and charging

E-2008 50kWh 136

E-2008 54kWh 156

50.8kWh (useable)

250 miles

26E

The standard E-2008 uses a 50kWh battery (47.7kWh useable), which provides up to 214 miles of electric range, plus there’s a larger capacity 54kWh (50.8kWh useable) alternative with an increased maximum range to 250 miles – around 16 miles further than the base Hyundai Kona Electric can cover on a charge. Fully recharging both battery sizes using a standard 7kW home wallbox takes just over 7.5 hours, while a 10 to 80 per cent takes around 30 minutes from a 100kW rapid charger.

Tax

Rivals with hybrid power, like the Toyota Yaris Cross and Renault Captur E-Tech, offer higher fuel efficiency and produce less CO2, which means they also have the added benefit of lower Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) company car tax rates. Of course, if you’re interested in a 2008 to run as a company car, the all-electric Peugeot E-2008 may be the one to go for because, like all EVs, it currently attracts a mere two per cent BiK rate.

Insurance groups

The 2008 has slightly higher-than-average insurance group ratings compared with rivals. The least expensive 128bhp Allure petrol sits in group 16 – five groups higher than the base Yaris Cross and six groups higher than the entry-level SEAT Arona.

The hybrid 2008 lands in group 23, while the entry-level E-2008 sits in group 26. In contrast, a 1.0-litre 155 Ford Puma Titanium with 153bhp receives a much lower group 14 rating.

Depreciation

Residual values for the petrol and hybrid versions of the second-generation Peugeot 2008 are running behind its closest rival the Ford Puma, according to our expert data. After three years and 36,000 miles of ownership, the 2008 is expected to maintain between 46 to 47 per cent of its original value, while the Puma should hold on to between 51 to 53 per cent over the same time period.

The all-electric E-2008 is only predicted to be worth 37-38 per cent of its original value after three years, however. This is very disappointing compared to the Kia EV3, which should be worth between 50 to 53 per cent of its original value over the same time frame.
