Peugeot’s First Electric Spark in Singapore: The e‑2008
Picture a sleek crossover that’s as green as it is grand. That’s the Peugeot e‑2008, making its grand debut right here in Singapore. It’s built in Europe and qualifies for Cat A, meaning it’s ready for the COE jungle right out of the box.
Price Game Plan
- MSRP (no COE): $78,888
- + Cat A COE (the $80,000 auction stake): +$80,000
- – A1 VES rebate (the $25,000 cash back perk): -$25,000
- Final number at the lot: $158,888
So, for roughly $159k—after the COE punch and the generous rebate— you’re looking at a clean‑energy SUV that’s neck‑and‑shoulder with MG’s ZS electric cousin but still gives rivals like the Hyundai Kona Electric a run for their money.
The Takeaway
Peugeot has tossed its first electric curveball into the Singapore market, and it’s coming with a pricing strategy that feels like a smart bargain rather than a steep climb. If you’re dreaming about swapping gas for electricity without blowing a hole in your wallet, the e‑2008 might just be the right script.
Meet the E‑2008: Power, Range, and a Dash of Lightning
Think of the E‑2008 as that friendly neighbor who’s always ready to power you up: it packs a whopping 130 horsepower and a torque of 260 newton‑meters. That’s enough to make day‑to‑day commutes feel like a superhero ride.
Battery‑Powered‑Goodness
- All-new 50‑kWh battery that cooks up a claimed 345‑kilometer range on a full charge.
- Energy consumption sits at a 14.5 kWh per 100 km – less “gas pedal burn” than you’d expect.
- Speed? 0–100 km/h in just 10.1 seconds. Not quite a Formula 1 car, but hey, you won’t be tempted to slam the gas for at least a week.
- Top speed sits comfortably at 150 km/h, so you can cruise without an over‑the‑edge feeling.
Why It’s Worth a Second Look
The E‑2008 is for those who want eco‑friendly performance without cutting corners. Its quasi‑electric fame means you can enjoy a smooth drive, a generous range, and the rugged feel of a classic car—only it’s been given a modern, clean twist.
Bottom Line
Whether you’re a daily commuter or weekend adventurer, the E‑2008 has the power, endurance, and a touch of charm that keeps drivers coming back. Give it a test drive and experience a car that marries efficiency with a spark of excitement.

Peugeot 2008: Electric or Petrol? Let’s Get the Numbers Straight
Ready to decide between a slick electric ride and a classic combustion engine? The Peugeot 2008 GT is the breakout star, but you’ve got to know the price game it’s playing.
Safety First – That’s How the “e‑2008” Grows Up
- Lane-Departure Warning – Your car nudges you back on track before you think you’re about to veer into oncoming traffic.
- Blind‑Spot Monitoring – A friendly alert that says, “Hey, there’s a car on your side!”
- Emergency Brake Assist – Gives your engine a gentle push in case you pull the brakes too hard.
- Smart Speed Limit Info – It not only shows you the posted limit but also adapts your speed to stay within that rhythm.
Bottom line? All those goodies come right out of the box on the 2008 e‑GT. No tweaking needed – the car’s basically a safety‑heavyweight champion.
Price Play: Electric vs. Petrol
Electric 2008 GT – Our “green champ” sets the baseline.
Petrol 2008 GT – The traditional engine? It’s $5,000 pricier than its electric counterpart. Think of it as the “V‑premium” version, a bit more luxurious for the diesel‑haul fans.
But wait, there’s a twist: The regular petrol 2008 comes in an Allure Premium trim that’s $5,000 cheaper than the electric GT. So, if you’re hunting for a cheaper electric option, the Allure might blur the lines for you.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn’t Relate)*
• e‑2008 GT = base price, full safety suite.
• Petrol GT = +$5,000 font to electric version.
• Allure Premium petrol = –$5,000 compared to e‑2008.
• Pick based on bundle or budget? Your call.
What’s Next?
Have you seen the Peugeot 408 Fastback yet? It’s fresh on the block and might rewrite what you expect from the next generation of small cars.
So, whether you’re chasing zero emission or just love the petrol sound, the 2008 family has got you covered—and with the right price tag. Happy test‑driving!
