Pros Well-equipped for the price Excellent warranty coverage
Cons Ride quality is rough over bumpy roads Many interior materials look and feel cheap to the touch Transmission is aggravating due to slow responses Raucous drone while accelerating, especially with 2.0-liter engine
Though it's based on the same platform that it's used since 2011, the Outlander Sport did get marked improvements for 2020. Restyled inside and out, it sheds some of the baby pudge from its old styling by trading soft edges for sharper, more deliberate lines, especially in its nose and headlamps. There's a new 18-inch wheel design and LED headlights, taillights, and daytime running lights across the range. The interior gets new climate-control knobs and there's an inch added to its infotainment screen on some trims, upping it to 8.0 inches.
Pros Refreshed look, good warranty, relatively low price.
Cons Lethargic base engine, no manual transmission, still not great inside.
Small SUVs launch in abundance but thanks to electric power and great interior tech, this is among the most interesting.
Pros Fancy dials, Great petrol engines and a decent EV
Cons Firm (ish) ride, Pricey if you tick too many boxes
The Peugeot 2008 is an SUV you can buy with your heart and your head. It’s cheap to run, easy to drive and has a big boot but, alas, the back seats aren’t that spacious.
Pros Stylish design 3D infotainment display Fun and cheap to run
Cons Noisy diesel Tight back seats Sluggish automatic gearbox
The e-2008 has a great interior that offers a decent amount of space, but the car’s appeal is limited by its high list price and disappointing battery range compared with those of the best rivals.
Pros Refined interior Relatively spacious Impressive build quality
Cons Expensive Rivals have longer range Firm ride
