    The E-2008 also gets a fresh grille with vertically-running elements, and of course, a new nose in the form of Peugeot's updated shield-based emblem.

    Overtakes are easy to execute, while dashes from traffic light to traffic light are breezy and smooth thanks to the car's electric drivetrain.
