2025 Peugeot E-3008 electric SUV: Australian launch timing confirmed for Tesla Model Y, Toyota bZ4X rival

Australian launch timing for the 2025 Peugeot E-3008 electric midsize SUV has been confirmed.

Peugeot Australia has announced the E-3008 will arrive here in the second half of 2024, with expressions of interest for the Tesla Model Y and Toyota bZ4X rival now open.

It will join the all-electric Peugeot E-208, E-308 and E-Expert models also due in Australia this year, along with the E-2008 and E-Partner already on sale.

“Further information on the next-level E-3008, including Australian specification and pricing, will be confirmed at a later date,” said Peugeot’s local arm.

The new E-3008 is the first model from Peugeot’s parent company Stellantis to use the group’s ‘STLA Medium’ dedicated electric vehicle platform.

In Europe, the French-built E-3008 will be offered in three powertrain configurations with two battery sizes.

The smaller 73kWh battery can be paired with single or twin motors, both with a targeted driving range of 525km in the more-stringent WLTP combined cycle.

The Long Range steps up to a 98kWh pack which allows for a 700-kilometre maximum driving range, making the E-3008 the longest-range EV on sale if it is offered in Australia.

For comparison, the longest-range Tesla Model Y is capable of 533km from a single charge in WLTP testing, while the Toyota bZ4X offers just 436km in its longest-range form.

While the new 3008 will be electric-only at launch, Peugeot has confirmed hybrid versions of the car will also be launched in select markets – potentially including Australia.

Inside, it is available with a single 21-inch widescreen for the infotainment and instrument displays, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a touch-controlled climate control panel, and a toggle gear shifter.

The E-3008 measures 4.54m long, 1.89m wide, and 1.64m tall, which is about 100mm longer, 50mm wider and 20mm taller than the existing 3008. While it has a more rakish roofline, there is no reduction in rear headroom.

The 2025 Peugeot E-3008 is due in Australia in the second half of this year. Local details – including pricing and features – will be announced closer to its local launch.
