Driving experience

Audi e-tron

Smooth, silent and effortlessly luxurious. The e-tron rides with genuine isolation, steers lightly and accurately, and accelerates strongly from its dual-motor quattro with none of the fuss of a combustion engine. It is heavy, which shows in corners and in real-world range, but the payoff is a hushed, relaxed calm that suits long journeys. Regenerative braking is strong enough for one-pedal driving in traffic. It was the first large electric SUV from Audi, and it drives more like a luxury saloon than a tall, heavy crossover.

Peugeot 2008

The A94 is a 208 on tiptoes, and it drives with the same light, easy manners. Built on the PF1 bones shared with the 208, it keeps mass down, so the front axle turns in keenly and the raised body adds visibility without making the ride busy. The high-set driving position makes it feel secure and easy to place in town, while most versions ride on a comfort-tuned rear that copes well with broken tarmac. The 1.2 PureTech is lively, the 1.6 BlueHDi is frugal and relaxed, and the EAT6 automatic shifts without fuss. It is a nimble, easy subcompact crossover, not a sporty one.
