Kia EV6 vs Peugeot e-3008

The Kia EV6 costs £8,570 more than the Peugeot e-3008. For that premium it adds 35 miles more WLTP range, 98 kW faster peak rapid charging and a 1.1s quicker 0-62mph time. The Peugeot e-3008 is not just cheaper - it also offers 98 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-3008 comes out ahead overall.

The Peugeot e-3008 is £8,570 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-3008 comes out roughly £8,610 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 301 miles for the Kia EV6 and 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Kia EV6 goes roughly 29 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 18 minutes in the Kia EV6 and 30 in the Peugeot e-3008, so the Kia EV6 loses less time at each stop. That makes the Kia EV6 the stronger long-distance car.

The two are within 5 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 510 mm of total clearance for the Kia EV6 and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-3008. The Peugeot e-3008 also turns in a 1.0 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 89% battery health for the Kia EV6 and 84% for the Peugeot e-3008. That gives the Kia EV6 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.
