I ordered through Robins and Day – they provided me with build dates for the various 3008 engine options before I placed the order. It seemed that the powertrain influenced the build date, suggesting that Peugeot allocate build slots based on the engines.
Hybrid 225 were scheduled to be made in November, the Hybrid 300 was December – these dates actually came forward based on my collection date.
When I had an ECO wobble (long story) mid-way through November, I enquired about the e-2008 and was given an indicated build date for that model of January or February, the dealer was confident that this date would be met without an issue.
I’m puzzled as to why the 5008 build info is so difficult to obtain from some dealers. Robins and Day had the info on a screen which they shared without any hesitation when asked.
