The Peugeot 3008 is a fun-looking SUV with a big boot, stylish interior and decent levels of equipment, but it takes a while to get used to the quirky small steering wheel and high-up instrument cluster
Pros Stylish inside and out Big boot Efficient engines
Cons No four-wheel-drive option Entry-level diesel is slow Oddly positioned instruments
The 3008 would have to be the best Peugeot I’ve driven apart from the 308 and I was rather forlorn to hand back the keys.
Pros Bold, attractive styling HUD instrument panel/advanced graphics Comfortable, luxury interior Tech features Dynamic handling Large panoramic roof Powered tailgate
Cons Flat topped steering wheel No powered seats
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
