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.

Renault Captur

Light and easy to place in town with a reasonably high driving position, helped by light steering that is not especially communicative. Body control is firmer than the first-generation Captur, reducing roll in corners while staying acceptable on normal roads, though the ride can feel firm on larger wheels. The 1.0 TCe and 1.3 TCe feel responsive for daily use; the E-Tech hybrid adds strong low-speed electric assistance and smooth transitions once warm. Manual gearboxes are straightforward, and the EDC dual-clutch is smooth at speed but can hesitate at low speeds. Overall a competent, easy compact crossover rather than a driver's car.
