There’s no doubt the Peugeot i-Cockpit set-up looks enticing on first acquaintance. It comprises a pair of digital displays that sweep across the top of the dashboard, with a wide driver information screen butting up to a similarly sized central infotainment touchscreen.
In the Peugeot E-3008, there’s an extra smaller touchscreen below the central touchscreen, split into six areas. Peugeot calls this the i-Toggle panel, because you can programme the areas with individual functions, and after a fashion they mimic the toggle switches you might find on a more ‘analogue’ set-up. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connect easily – and wirelessly – and you can select profiles for different drivers, saving your infotainment preferences.
The driver info panel shows all the operational and eco information you’d expect from a high-spec electric car, and using a button on the end of the right-hand stalk, you can scroll through a variety of preset configurations that give certain functions less or greater prominence. The central touchscreen has a left/right swipe function that allows you to swap between pages showing climate, media or navigation, and there’s a comprehensive widget menu to launch each function’s application page.
Some key functions can be accessed straight from the homescreen, and there’s a home button to return you there. The i-Toggles provide a wide range of easily programmable one-touch functions, including phoning a favourite contact or selecting a radio station. You can even choose a one-touch massage, although our car massaged the passenger when the i-Toggle was set to massage the driver.
