Cycle through the upgraded Peugeot i-Connect advanced infotainment menus while driving. | Note: Ensure the system is responsive and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connects seamlessly without lagging or screen freezing, as specific firmware versions may still require OTA updates.
Drive over local speed bumps and listen carefully for any structural suspension knocking or creaking. | Note: The upgraded 54kWh battery pack maintains a heavy kerb weight, placing continuous high demand on front suspension rubber bushings and dampers over time.
Inspect the under-body aero shields and the battery pack protective casing for any signs of scraping or loose fasteners. | Note: Crucial if the car has been driven on uneven NZ rural roads or gravel, as damaged aero shields can catch wind or trap moisture beneath the chassis.
Test the regenerative braking intensity settings and evaluate the transition to physical braking. | Note: The facelift model features updated software calibration for the 115kW motor; ensure the deceleration feels linear and does not produce irregular grinding feedback through the pedal.
Initial cabin pollen filter check, brake fluid condition inspection, and tyre rotation to manage the increased 270Nm torque delivery.
Comprehensive traction battery State of Health (SoH) report, full diagnostic scan of the upgraded EV drivetrain, and inspection of the cooling circuit hoses.
Full diagnostic scan, cabin air filter renewal, and specialized inspection of the drive unit mounts under higher torque load.
Consider a proactive check and replacement of the drivetrain reduction gear oil and a comprehensive test of the 12V auxiliary system health.
Monitor tyre pressures closely; the e-2008 Facelift's mass and instant torque can accelerate wear on standard compound rubber.
Regularly clean the charging port area and inspect the locking latch mechanism to ensure no outdoor NZ grime affects cable connectivity.
Schedule an annual software check with a specialist or dealer to benefit from the latest battery management system (BMS) performance or range efficiency updates.
Ensure the 12V auxiliary AGM battery is electronically tested during your annual service, as it remains critical for the vehicle's electrical 'wake-up' sequence.
Check the brake discs for surface rust if the vehicle has seen light use due to heavy reliance on regenerative braking, and perform occasional hard braking to clear them.
Estimated repair costs if issues arise
Requires load-rated, low-rolling-resistance tyres (e.g., Michelin e-Primacy) to handle the heavy kerb weight, manage the 115kW torque efficiently, and maintain the advertised 406km WLTP range.
While regenerative braking saves pad life, low-use vehicles in damp NZ coastal climates suffer from rusted discs. Budget for a full brake system service or disc skimming if corrosion is detected.
The E-2008 uses a complex heat pump system for winter efficiency. If efficiency drops or sensors miscalibrate, budget for a specialized re-gas or leak check to maintain winter range.
