Driving experience

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.
