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 T87 is the seven-seat MPV that shares its bones with the 3008, and it drives with the same easy, stable manners. Built on the PF2 platform, it stays reasonably light for its size, so the front axle turns in cleanly and the long wheelbase keeps it planted and settled on the motorway. The raised driving position and big glass make it feel solid and easy to place, while most versions ride on a comfort-tuned rear that irons out broken tarmac. The 1.6 THP is eager, the 2.0 HDi pulls strongly and quietly, and the 6-speed automatic shifts without fuss. The HYbrid4 adds electric drive but is more complex. It is a comfortable, easy people-carrier, not a sporty one.
