The 20th century notion of what passenger cars should be able to do by 2024 might have been closer to a flying saucer than an actual four-wheeler, but the reality doesn’t look too bad either. Long-range electric cars that turn even the longest of days spent in the driver’s seat into comfortable joyrides? Leave it to Peugeot and its newest SUV model the E-3008 to make a convincing case for what pleasurable driving should look (and feel) like in 2024.
Even if you aren’t driving yourself but are being driven (one can dream), the benefits of the advanced ‘Made in France’ battery technology, which promises a 435 miles range, are felt with every minute on the road. This made it the perfect companion for London Fashion Week, as Grazia’s fashion team put its comfort, functionality and endurance to the test on long days. The verdict? Tens across the board: its electric line-up guaranteed fully-charged phones for every urgent work call, and the smooth driving experience delivered on comfort without any inkling of motion sickness.
Planning a long journey outside the city? The Peugeot E-3008 is still your go-to. With its new battery pre-conditioning system, optimised charging times won’t unnecessarily add to your duration of travel, whilst still getting you there in the most eco-conscious way. And lest we forget the Panoramic i-Cockpit®, which will up the driving experience even more, with its compact steering wheel. The present might be based more in reality rather than fiction, and while we aren’t getting from A to B by way of flying cars, this is as good as the future gets. So, hop in.
