Driving experience

BMW X5

Luxurious, composed and surprisingly agile for its size. Steering is accurate and well-weighted, body control excellent, and the X5 hides its bulk through bends with real composure. xDrive delivers tenacious all-weather grip and a reassuringly planted feel. Air suspension, where fitted, spans cushioned to firmly controlled and irons out rough roads. The B58 petrols are smooth and muscular, the B57 diesels pull strongly and stay hushed, and the xDrive45e plug-in glides on electric power. The ZF 8-speed is quick, seamless and always in the right gear. Overall a polished, capable luxury SUV that feels smaller and sharper than it is.

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.
