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 3008

The P84 drives more like a raised hatchback than a tall SUV. It sits on the same EMP2 bones as the 308, so it stays light on its feet, and the high-set i-Cockpit gives a commanding view without dulling the steering. The small wheel and raised dials take a short acclimatisation, then the front end feels quick and accurate while body roll stays contained. Most versions use a comfort-tuned torsion-beam rear that soaks up broken tarmac cleanly; big wheels and firmer GT damping add a touch of fidget. The 1.2 PureTech is eager, the 2.0 BlueHDi pulls strongly and quietly, and the EAT8 automatic shifts without drama. It is an easy, comfortable family crossover, not a sharp one.
