Stellantis Korea is accelerating its journey towards carbon neutrality by introducing special financial programs targeting three electric vehicle models from the Peugeot and DS Automobiles brands to alleviate customer burden in this era of high-interest rates.
For customers looking to purchase electric vehicles, which are relatively higher in price compared to internal combustion engine vehicles, the company is unveiling various products such as a 60-month interest-free installment plan and operational leasing programs to ease the financial strain of rising interest rates.
For the Peugeot e-208, under the 60-month interest-free installment program, customers can acquire the Allure trim at around 290,000 KRW per month and the GT trim at around 300,000 KRW with an advance payment of 45%.
Similarly, through the same conditions, the Peugeot e-2008 SUV can be owned at a monthly payment of around 300,000 KRW for both the Allure and GT trims. For the 60-month operational leasing program, both the e-208 and e-2008 can be leased starting from around 100,000 KRW per month with a 45% down payment, providing high satisfaction.
The DS 3 Crossback E-Tense offers a choice between an advance payment of 30% and 45% under the 60-month interest-free installment program. The lower initial burden option with a 30% down payment is available for around 540,000 KRW monthly, while the 45% option reduces the monthly payment to about 390,000 KRW; the 60-month operational leasing program allows for payments of 240,000 KRW or 390,000 KRW, depending on the advance payment.
The Peugeot e-208 and e-2008 SUV are recognized as best-selling electric vehicles in the European market for their compact size, reasonable pricing, and excellent product quality. In Korea, equipped with a 50 kWh battery, the e-208 can travel up to 280 km on a single charge (based on Ministry of Environment standards), while the e-2008 SUV can cover 260 km (combined) and can be charged to about 80% in just 30 minutes using a 100 kW fast charger.
The DS 3 E-Tense combines the technology and know-how of Formula E champions with a delicate design inspired by French haute couture, along with advanced safety and convenience features that transcend segments, all while maintaining high competitiveness at a reasonable price. It can travel up to 260 km (combined) on a single charge.
