What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
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.
Tesla Model Y
RWD
Owners love
- Spacious interior with generous cargo capacity makes it practical for families, easily accommodating five passengers plus luggage
- Low running costs versus petrol and diesel, especially with home charging
- Outstanding Supercharger network makes long-distance travel effortless and enables trip planning comparable to petrol cars
Watch out for
- Depreciation concerns affect both purchase values and PCP lease terms as rapid model iterations reduce resale viability
- Autopilot struggles reliably with small roads, parked cars, junctions, and speed limit changes despite heavy marketing
- Harsh suspension ride remains problematic for some owners, though newer generation improvements are noticeable
Owner tips
- Consider a nearly new or pre-facelift car over new to limit depreciation
- Choose LFP battery models if available to avoid strict battery charging discipline and benefit from greater longevity
