PROS Unmistakeable looks, great comfort, agreeable electric version
CONS You can't get a quick one. But it wouldn't work anyway
The Citroën C4 is very temptingly priced for a coupé SUV, while comfort and refinement also impress. You do pay for its cushiness with roly-poly handling, though, and there are more practical options.
PROS Comfortable ride Little wind or road noise Well priced
CONS Body lean in bends Boot is on the small side No alarm on entry-level model
PROS Ride comfort and general quietness Eager and efficient engines Spacious, minimalist interior
CONS Go elsewhere if you want sportiness No hybrid models available Divisive styling won't universally appeal
Oh yes, it’s another dinky SUV. But it’s hard to be angry at something wearing the face of a robotic chipmunk like this Peugeot 2008 does.It’s an aesthetically pleasing thing all round, really, looking like it was designed from the off as an individual model. As opposed to the old 2008, which had the demeanour of a 208 hatchback carrying Christmas weight. This new one looks big, mind, and indeed it’s longer and more commodious than before.
Pros Fancy dials, great petrol engines and a decent EV
Cons Firm (ish) ride, pricey if you tick too many boxes
Pros Eye-catching design inside and out Broad range of engine options Cabin is spacious, plus big boot
Cons Top-spec models can be pricey 3D digital dials take some getting used to Driving position still won’t suit all
Stylish inside and out with plenty of substance to match, the Peugeot 2008 is a polished and practical small SUV. Its ride and handling may not particularly inspire, and the high-spec models are incredibly pricey, but the lower-end – and still decently equipped – versions are thoroughly recommendable.
Pros Brilliant interior quality Excellent rear seat space Frugal engines
Cons Bumpy low speed ride Top models are very expensive Average-size boot with rear seats up
