Driving experience
Peugeot 2008
The A94 is a 208 on tiptoes, and it drives with the same light, easy manners. Built on the PF1 bones shared with the 208, it keeps mass down, so the front axle turns in keenly and the raised body adds visibility without making the ride busy. The high-set driving position makes it feel secure and easy to place in town, while most versions ride on a comfort-tuned rear that copes well with broken tarmac. The 1.2 PureTech is lively, the 1.6 BlueHDi is frugal and relaxed, and the EAT6 automatic shifts without fuss. It is a nimble, easy subcompact crossover, not a sporty one.
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.
