Frequently asked questions
Is the Peugeot e-5008 worth the extra £3,600 over the BMW iX1?
The Peugeot e-5008 costs £3,600 more than the BMW iX1. For that premium it adds 30 kW faster peak rapid charging and 2 more seats (7 versus 5). The BMW iX1 is not just cheaper - it also offers 142 litres more boot space and a 1.1s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the BMW iX1 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the BMW iX1 or the Peugeot e-5008?
The BMW iX1 is £3,600 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £136 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the BMW iX1 comes out roughly £3,720 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the BMW iX1 and Peugeot e-5008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 267 miles for the BMW iX1 and 257 miles for the Peugeot e-5008 - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 29-30 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the BMW iX1 or the Peugeot e-5008?
The BMW iX1 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 50 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-5008. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 555 mm of total clearance for the BMW iX1 and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-5008. The Peugeot e-5008 also turns in a 0.7 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the BMW iX1 or the Peugeot e-5008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the BMW iX1 and 84% for the Peugeot e-5008. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
