2025 Peugeot E-5008 Allure Ingaro Blue EV
Discussion
Thought I'd start this thread as I have recently taken delivery of an E-5008 Allure on a 12 month lease deal that was too cheap to pass up on.
Here is my car history - this is car number 26! https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&...
First things first. Out with the old:
It was a great car (2020 520d) and I was a little sad to see it go. You may be thinking why...equity - buying a house and it was a great way to increase my deposit. The lease deal had just 1 month up front payment.
I'm dipping my toes into EV ownership and leasing for the first time. I have no children and no charger until I move, a 7 seat Electric SUV fit the bill nicely.... (purely chose as it seemed so nice for the money!)
This is how mine is specced - Allure has matte black plastics rather than Gloss in the GT, and 19" wheels rather than 20".
The reviews were very positive - I have got the Allure base spec, although it seems very well equipped at this level anyway. Ingaro Blue metallic.
I'm now over 1,000 miles in and I am very pleased with the completely blind lease. I had seen two on the road before I got mine so had to rely on youtube videos, but I'd already committed anyway! I haven't given it a wash yet, so photos are limited, but here are a couple:
Charge test at my parents aka Fuel Station for the next few months:
And after the first local drive:
At which point I decided to create a user profile for the infotainment. I had not yet familiarised myself with the hardly intuitive interface, so it picked a great time to change to French language and Kilometres per hour. It even thought I was in France until I drove it a bit. I tried to use the voice commands to access the language menu, "Je suis desole"... Did make me chuckle.
It has no front parking sensors or heated seats which I'd have liked, but the reverse camera records footage as you reverse and creates a 360 view which is cool:
First public top up at a superhub in Winchester, peaked at 114kw delivery (car cites 160kw max) so you can add miles very quickly indeed. Added about 60 miles in 11 minutes in Cobham services, which was the time it took to walk to the toilet, order a McDonalds and walk back to the car!
Also had an evening trip to Caffeine and Machine to meet PHer Funk for a burger. I had an S5 before my BMW, quite the size difference:
I've been absolutely blitzing it as it s so cheap to run and lease for this year (£259x12 for 10,000 miles if you're wondering!!!) that I am going to do as many road trips as I can in it. Seems to average 3.5-4.0 mi/kwh, the battery has 73kwh of usable charge, around 250 miles in the current climate.
Airport run to Gatwick from Bournemouth averaged 3.5 mi/kwh, would have made it back without charging but I needed it a bit in the evening so topped it up. Swallowed 3XL suitcases and a cabin bag with ease in 5 seat configuration:
I'll take some better photos in the coming days once it s washed, but it s incredibly spacious. The middle row seats recline and slide forward and back.
Things I don't like, it's all touch screen save for some useful toggles to turn climate on and off etc. it's quite fiddly to use on the move, my BMW had a touch screen but also had a scroll wheel which I used 99% of the time.
The speakers are pretty good, but bass at lower volumes shows some buzzing in the driver s door card so I'm going to pop that off and pad it out a bit at some point. Other than that though, It's a great everyday car. Despite its size, it's a fraction narrower and shorter than my 5 series, way taller though and much more interior space.
Performance wise it's not quick 0-60, but it seems to really taper the power until around 10-15mph. After that though it feels on par with the 5 series given the instant power and lack of gearbox. 211bhp but weighs 2.2tonnes!
I'll definitely extend the lease if I can at the end, otherwise will see what comes next!

Stumbled into an issue today where the sat nav was out of sync with location so the speed limit warning was going mental.
Thats resolved but new issue parked it st 40% now it says 90%! Tried to charge to re calibrate but charger said the same % so charged slowly. Hoping it resolves itself and had a funny day.
Edit - Rechecked it and it has adjusted - so odd!

£259 a month with £259 deposit for 10k miles is crazy!
Another great deal i've missed!
I know it was a complete pricing error by Stellantis the leasing guy said. Was pulled right away. The leasing thread on here is great. Another great deal i've missed!
The GT has been around 380pm no deposit for 5k, which i still think is a good price (18-24 months).
I've already done 1700 miles in it due to some airport runs and have 900 more pencilled in for this month above the norm, so i'll have a nice bill at the end but its only 10ppm anwyay so even if i do 20k in it, its cost about £4k for a year in a new decent car and 20k of warranted low cost miles, zero tax, etc!

I will have to keep my eyes peeled on the thread. I'm after a new EV on lease for as cheap as possible! I stupidly hesitated on the recent Puma deals and missed them (although it looks like it's becoming a bit of a farce to some of those who are 'in the system' now.
But yeah. 5008, great. I prefer the look and size of the 3008 but with that deal....it would be rude not to take it!

Amazing! You must have been quick to get it? Did any others on here get it?

Yeah the 3008 would be great also - This is a big unit, i don't need it, at all, but it seems pretty efficient for 2200KG and its size!I will have to keep my eyes peeled on the thread.

Someone posted it, i enquired 30 mins after, deal was pulled same evening i think! I tried to upgrade to a GT, as that deal was only 20 more per month with another broker, but that was a pricing error too and was lucky to get what I did. same price for all mileage, 10k was the max, and could choose any colour - definitely broken! Ironically, Ingaro is the base colour and it was the one I wanted. I'd love obsession blue as it looks great, but figured the darker colour might show swirls/scratches more.
I think the trick with those deals is put the enquiry in immediately - you're not committed, but think they are first come first served.
Got a trip from Bournemouth to Snowdonia (staying in Bangor) coming up shortly - Looks like i'll recharge from about 25-80% in Birmingham and then charge in Bangor to give me enough mileage for the few days im there, and enough to get back to Birmingham, 3 partial charges should swing it, will be a proper test!
Nice review and congrats on the new car!
I am one of the lucky ones waiting for a GT that is being delivered at the end of this month on the same terms (+£20)
Coming from a Mercedes EQC Amg line (lease) which is sadly being returned, I was not sure about the Peugeot. But the price was too good to avoid!

Great pics!
The Allure has come down to about £361 on some sites for a 1 + 23 10k miles, pretty good. Thinking about it but still waiting for some crazy deal to arrive again.
I'd lease it again for that price personally! Still very impressed with mine. The Allure has come down to about £361 on some sites for a 1 + 23 10k miles, pretty good. Thinking about it but still waiting for some crazy deal to arrive again.
Vs my brother and dad's ENY1s they have i like that regen strength is remembered and isn't linked to drive modes. In theirs it is default off and can only stay on temporarily unless in sport mode.
Had a wave from a couple in theirs earlier in the same colour which I found amusing haven't had that before except in my MX5 back in the day!
3,100 miles in on the E-5008 and I'm still very pleased with it.
I just completed an almost 800 mile round trip in it to Snowdonia from Bournemouth over 4 days which was a little daunting , but it wasn't that bad at all. Electric stuff aside the platform is really comfortable for long journeys and the most practical car I've ever had. The boot is huge, visibility great, its very compliant only really suffering suspension jolts on rough tarmac.
The first charge stop was a large posh garden centre with a decent charging set up and restaurant so milked it there for a bit, interim charges whilst I was there done at a Shell recharge station and the journey home at a Village hotel and Winchester Super Hub. The big ones were tied in with lunches etc so it wasn't much of a chore just required a bit more planning.
My only gripe with route planners is they don't take into consideration things to do locally. I'd rather pay a few quid more or take a little longer somewhere with some shops or food etc than be sat in a petrol station forecourt. I've just route planned on google maps then used the electroverse maps to look at options along the way. Saved them down on Google maps. Bit more planning up front but worked well for me.
There aren't many chargers around Snowdon so I was a bit over paranoid about having enough whilst we were there.
I really pushed to the final charge stop at one point with an hour to go, only a few miles buffer. Dropped the pace a little and arrived with 14 miles spare.
Overall cost, about 50% more than it would have cost in my previous diesel but this is probably the only long road trip I will do in it in my lease. It averaged 3.5 mi/kwh.
Impressive peak charge rate:
And some pictures of the car with stunning backdrops!
