Driving experience
Peugeot 2008
The P24 is a 208 on stilts, and it drives with the same light, easy manners. Built on the CMP platform shared with the 208 and Corsa, it keeps mass low, so the front axle responds keenly and the raised body adds visibility without turning the ride busy. The small i-Cockpit wheel and high digital dials need a short acclimatisation, then the steering feels quick and accurate while body roll stays controlled. Most versions use a comfort-tuned rear that absorbs broken tarmac well, though big wheels and firmer specs add some fidget. The 1.2 PureTech 130 is eager, the e-2008 is near-silent and instantly responsive, and the EAT8 automatic shifts without fuss. It is an easy, practical crossover, not a sporty one.

The P84 drives more like a raised hatchback than a tall SUV. It sits on the same EMP2 bones as the 308, so it stays light on its feet, and the high-set i-Cockpit gives a commanding view without dulling the steering. The small wheel and raised dials take a short acclimatisation, then the front end feels quick and accurate while body roll stays contained. Most versions use a comfort-tuned torsion-beam rear that soaks up broken tarmac cleanly; big wheels and firmer GT damping add a touch of fidget. The 1.2 PureTech is eager, the 2.0 BlueHDi pulls strongly and quietly, and the EAT8 automatic shifts without drama. It is an easy, comfortable family crossover, not a sharp one.
