The Suzuki Ignis bears a familiar name but, if you think this new model shares the boring Euro-box design of the old cars, think again.
Pros Striking looks Decent passenger space Hybrid version for the environmentally conscious
Cons Limited engine choice Some rivals ride better Infotainment system isn’t class-leading
Pros Funky and chunky styling Colourful personalisation options Peppy little engine
Cons No active safety systems available Not really an SUV Ride can be a little crashy
Pros Looks superb, doesn’t use much fuel, low prices, chirpy character.
Cons The ride’s pretty unsophisticated… and that’s about it
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
