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 5008

The P87 is a stretched 3008, and it drives with the same easy, car-like manners for a seven-seat box. Built on the EMP2 bones shared with the 3008, it stays light on its feet, so the front axle turns in cleanly and the long wheelbase keeps it stable and settled on the motorway. The small i-Cockpit wheel and raised digital dials need a short acclimatisation, then the steering feels accurate and the body stays composed through corners. Most versions ride on a comfort-tuned rear that irons out broken tarmac, though big wheels and firmer specs add some fidget. The 1.2 PureTech 130 is eager, the 2.0 BlueHDi pulls strongly and quietly, and the EAT8 automatic shifts without fuss. It is an easy, practical seven-seater, not a sporty one.
