On the inside, Apple Carplay and Android Auto are also available on the infotainment screen.
It has 11 kW of AC charging but can also be DC fast-charged up to 80% in 30 minutes at a 100 kW charger.
“The e-2008 is going to be an important and eagerly anticipated addition to the local range as we continue on our electrification journey,” said Kate Gillis, the head of Peugeot Australia.
“The impending arrival will signify our first fully electric passenger vehicle on sale in Australia and provides us with the opportunity to further expand on the success of the premium 2008 SUV range.
“We are confident the e-2008 will provide discerning customers with a design-focused electric SUV and it is with great excitement that pre-orders are opening today.”
On the warranty front, the e-2008 will come with a five-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty which also includes five years of roadside assistance.
