Peugeot 2008 Price in Nepal 2026

The 2026 Peugeot 2008 utilizes a dual-energy strategy. The fully electric e-2008 is equipped with a new 115 kW motor delivering 154 bhp, powered by a 54 kWh battery (51 kWh usable). The Hybrid variant features the 1.2L PureTech 3-cylinder engine paired with a 48V system, producing a combined 134 bhp. This setup prioritizes efficiency in urban environments, where the hybrid can operate in zero-emission mode for up to 50% of city driving.

Instantaneous torque is the hallmark of the e-2008, providing 260 Nm from 0 RPM, which ensures brisk overtaking. The Hybrid version offers a respectable 230 Nm, aided by the small integrated electric motor in the gearbox that fills torque gaps during gear shifts, providing a smoother acceleration curve compared to traditional ICE counterparts.

In real-world performance testing, the e-2008 reaches triple digits in approximately 8.8 seconds. The Top Speed is electronically governed at 150 km/h for the EV to preserve battery range, while the Hybrid variant can reach a higher terminal velocity of 200 km/h.

The Hybrid 136 model introduces the e-DCS6, a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission specifically designed for electrification. It houses the 21 kW electric motor inside the casing. The e-2008 uses a single-speed reduction gear optimized for high-efficiency energy recuperation through its "B-Mode" regenerative braking system.

All 2008 models remain strictly Front Wheel Drive. To compensate for the lack of AWD, Peugeot offers "Advanced Grip Control," a proprietary traction management system with specific modes for Snow, Mud, and Sand, optimizing the ESP for various terrains.

The 2008 maintains its "compact-plus" footprint. With a length of 4304 mm and a wheelbase of 2605 mm, it maximizes interior volume while remaining agile for city parking. The ground clearance is set at 165-170 mm depending on the trim, giving it a commanding SUV stance without compromising aerodynamics.

The battery pack in the e-2008 adds significant mass, bringing the kerb weight to roughly 1,550 kg. However, because the battery is mounted low in the chassis (e-CMP platform), the center of gravity is lower than the petrol version, improving cornering stability.

Peugeot’s engineering team managed to maintain a consistent boot volume of 434 litres across all powertrains. This is achieved by placing the hybrid components and EV batteries under the floor and rear seats, ensuring that choosing an electric model doesn't penalize your luggage capacity.

The European spec 2008 holds a 4-star rating (5-star with the optional Safety Plus Pack). It comes standard with 6 airbags, ESC, and Hill Start Assist. Advanced Safety features include the "Active Safety Brake," which uses camera and radar technology to detect pedestrians and cyclists even at night.

The chassis uses a McPherson Strut setup at the front and a semi-independent torsion beam at the rear. The damping has been specifically retuned for 2026 to handle the extra weight of the electric battery while maintaining the characteristic French "supple" ride quality.

The cabin is dominated by the latest 3D i-Cockpit. It features a reconfigurable 10-inch 3D digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch HD central touchscreen. The system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with "Over-the-Air" (OTA) software updates.

Peugeot offers a competitive 5-year/150,000 km warranty. For the e-2008, the traction battery is specifically guaranteed for 8 years or 160,000 km for 70% of its charging capacity. Service intervals are typically set at 12 months or 20,000 km.
