What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
Hyundai IONIQ 5
Standard Range RWD
Owners love
- Exceptional driving dynamics with outstanding handling, steering precision, and engaging performance that feels like a proper driver's car despite its 2.2-ton weight
- Cutting-edge 800-volt charging architecture enables industry-leading 350kW fast charging speeds, significantly faster than most competitors
- Impressive range with larger battery options (315+ miles WLTP) and strong real-world performance in various conditions
Watch out for
- Poor efficiency for its class, achieving only 2.5-2.7 mi/kWh in real-world driving, resulting in disappointing real-world range despite manufacturer claims
- Premium £65,000 pricing lacks competitive justification given interior quality comparable to standard Ioniq 5 and efficiency below competitor standards
- Known vulnerability to theft via programmable key exploits, particularly concerning in high-risk areas, with ongoing unfixed security issues
Owner tips
- Test drive extensively and set up suspension and drive modes (Normal suspension recommended for UK roads, Sport steering, Sport+ motor settings) to match your preferences before committing
- Budget for security upgrades like Ghost immobilizer in high-theft areas; check insurance quotes early due to known theft vulnerabilities
Peugeot e-2008
Allure 54kWh 156
Owners love
- Owners describe it as comfortable, quiet and easy to drive, with relaxing adaptive cruise on the motorway.
- The mix of physical buttons and touchscreen, the 3D dials and the reversing camera get praise.
- Several owners report no faults and no battery degradation over several years.
Watch out for
- Real-world range is well below WLTP, especially in winter without a heat pump; around 130 to 180 miles is commonly reported.
- The MyPeugeot app is widely criticised as unreliable.
- The range estimate on the dash is inconsistent.
Owner tips
- Plan on about 170 to 180 miles in mild weather and much less in winter.
- Use phone mirroring for navigation and voice commands.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Hyundai IONIQ 5 worth the extra £11,130 over the Peugeot e-2008?
The Hyundai IONIQ 5 costs £11,130 more than the Peugeot e-2008. For that premium it adds 27 miles more WLTP range, 160 kW faster peak rapid charging and 86 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is £11,130 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Peugeot e-2008 comes out roughly £11,170 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and Peugeot e-2008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 228 miles for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 205 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Hyundai IONIQ 5 goes roughly 23 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 120 mm narrower than the Hyundai IONIQ 5. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 510 mm of total clearance for the Hyundai IONIQ 5. The Peugeot e-2008 also turns in a 1.6 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Hyundai IONIQ 5 or the Peugeot e-2008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 89% battery health for the Hyundai IONIQ 5 and 84% for the Peugeot e-2008. That gives the Hyundai IONIQ 5 a modest edge in retained real-world range. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation.
