Peugeot targets Chinese EVs with $25,000 discount on electric SUV
The MG ZS EV is now one of two cars to hold the title of Australia’s cheapest electric SUV, thanks to a hefty limited-time drive-away offer from Peugeot.
Peugeot targets Chinese EVs with $25,000 discount on electric SUV
The high-spec electric Peugeot E-2008 GT is now advertised for $39,990 drive-away, with the offer applying to new and demo MY23 models purchased and delivered before June 30.
In Victoria, the E-2008 GT is usually priced from $65,455 drive-away, meaning a discount of over $25,000 depending on your location. Peugeot’s offer matches the typical drive-away price of the base MG ZS Excite at $39,990.
Under the bonnet of the Peugeot E-2008 you get a single, front-mounted electric motor producing 100kW of power and 260Nm of torque.
That’s fed by a 50kWh lithium-ion battery pack, with the E-2008 posting a claimed range of up to 328km on the European WLTP testing cycle.
By comparison, the ZS EV boasts a 130kW motor with 280Nm of torque, and quotes a driving range of 320km on the WLTP cycle.
Peugeot backs the E-2008 with a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, along with an eight-year, 160,000km battery warranty.
The offer excludes fleet, government and rental buyers, while metallic and premium paint options are not included and are at an additional cost.
