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 infotainment & software, real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
Peugeot e-3008
Allure
Owners love
- Owners praise the comfortable ride, high driving position and roomy, family-sized interior.
- Even the entry Allure is considered well equipped.
- Adaptive cruise control and lane assistance are described as easy to live with.
Watch out for
- The MyPeugeot app is the most common complaint: slow to connect, stale data and unreliable remote pre-conditioning.
- Owners note a heat pump was an option rather than standard on some versions, and winter efficiency drops noticeably.
- Some owners see public rapid charging well below the quoted 160 kW peak.
Owner tips
- Check whether the car has the optional heat pump if you drive a lot in winter.
- Test the MyPeugeot app with the seller before buying if remote charging and pre-conditioning matter to you.
VW ID.5
Pro 77kWh 174PS
Owners love
- Owners like the looks, the comfortable ride and the roomy cabin, which feels more spacious than the ID.3.
- In mild weather owners report around 250-280 miles, and efficiency of about 3.6-3.8 miles per kWh.
- Cars with the optional heat pump lose noticeably less range in winter.
Watch out for
- The software is the most common complaint: slow start-up, settings that reset, unreliable CarPlay and voice control, and updates that needed dealer visits.
- Winter range falls to around 190-215 miles for some owners, well below the figures dealers quoted.
- Several owners report DAB radio stuttering and poor reception.
Owner tips
- Check the car is on current software and ask which updates and recalls the dealer has done.
- Look for a car with the heat pump if you do a lot of winter driving.

Frequently asked questions
Is the VW ID.5 worth the extra £12,670 over the Peugeot e-3008?
The VW ID.5 costs £12,670 more than the Peugeot e-3008. For that premium it adds a 2.1s quicker 0-62mph time. The Peugeot e-3008 is not just cheaper - it also offers 25 kW faster peak rapid charging. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Peugeot e-3008 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Peugeot e-3008 or the VW ID.5?
The Peugeot e-3008 is £12,670 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 £12,750 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Peugeot e-3008 and VW ID.5 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 272 miles for the Peugeot e-3008 and 263 miles for the VW ID.5 - 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 Peugeot e-3008 or the VW ID.5?
The VW ID.5 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 43 mm narrower than the Peugeot e-3008. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.5 and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-3008. The VW ID.5 also turns in a 0.4 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Peugeot e-3008 or the VW ID.5?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-3008 and 84% for the VW ID.5. 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.
