The next generation i-Cockpit
In September, the all-new Peugeot e-3008 will be presented. The only electrically available ‘fastback SUV’, as Peugeot describes it, now offers its own interior. The e-3008 gets a new generation of the popular i-Cockpit.
Peugeot will push the pedal further in the coming years and will introduce five new electric cars in the next two years. One of them is the new e-3008, which no longer has a fuel equivalent alongside it, but has a somewhat more spacious brother called the e-5008. The new e-3008 not only distances itself from the current (e)-3008 by doing so with an electric motor, but also with its sloping roofline. Peugeot calls it a ‘fastback SUV’, making it a brother to the Peugeot 408. Peugeot’s latest design sauce is naturally poured on it and that also applies to the interior, as we can see now.
Those who take a seat in the new Peugeot e-3008 look at the “i-Cockpit” somewhat differently than we are used to today. The displays are located in the dashboard and on the dashboard in a slightly different way. The digital instruments and infotainment screen are now combined into a single, wide 21-inch screen. They are in a panel that protrudes from the top layer of the dashboard and thus appears to float above the dashboard. A setup we’ve known for a while from other brands and it’s also more reminiscent of what sister brand Opel is already doing.

The driver’s grilles are located in another element under the dash, and there’s also a center touchpad with “i-Toggles,” as Peugeot calls them. User-assignable hotkeys that, for example, invoke climate control or initiate navigation to a frequent destination. To the left of this touchpad, you will find the selection slider for the direction of travel. Is this all the news that catches your eye? No, absolutely not. The new Peugeot e-3008 also got a new steering wheel. A version with somewhat flat top and bottom keys and other touch-sensitive keys with tactile feedback on them.
You can count on us to see such an i-Cockpit in more future Peugeots. Logically, the e-5008 gets exactly the same workplace as the e-3008. Are you more interested in what the e-3008 has to offer technically? Fortunately, we already got a taste of it in January. Peugeot then indicated that the new e-3008 will have a range of up to 700 km, which is a significant improvement over the current range. The fact that Peugeot is already showing off the interior of the new e-3008 probably means we’ll be hearing and seeing more soon in the run-up to the September reveal.
