Driving experience

Audi Q5

Refined, effortless and supremely polished. Steering is light and accurate rather than talkative, the ride is supple and isolating, and the Q5 settles into a calm, confident lope. quattro ultra shuffles torque seamlessly for all-weather security, though it favours safe, neutral grip over playful engagement. Adaptive suspension keeps it composed and hushed on rough roads. The 40/45 TFSI petrols are smooth and willing, the 2.0 TDI pulls strongly and sips fuel, and the 55 TFSI e plug-in glides on electric power. The 7-speed S tronic is quick and smooth; the V6 8-speed tiptronic even more so. Overall a quiet, tech-rich SUV that puts long-distance comfort and easy confidence ahead of outright driver involvement.

Peugeot 3008

The P64 is the 3008 that moved to a dedicated electric-first platform, and it drives with a calm, planted feel. Built on the STLA Medium bones shared with the 5008 III, it carries its battery low, so the body stays stable through corners and the ride shrugs off broken tarmac. The small i-Cockpit wheel and raised dials need a short acclimatisation, then the steering feels accurate and the car settles into an easy rhythm. The 1.2 Hybrid is eager, the e-3008 delivers instant, near-silent torque, and the e-DCS7 automatic shifts smoothly. It is a comfortable, easy crossover, not a sporty one.
