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.
Renault Kadjar
A relaxed long-distance cruiser rather than a dynamic driver's car. Steering is light and accurate enough for daily use, ride quality is generally compliant on smaller wheels and becomes firmer on 19-inch alloys, and body control is adequate. The 1.3 TCe feels responsive once moving, while the diesels are refined and strong for motorway use. The EDC dual-clutch is smooth at higher speeds but can show low-speed hesitation or judder, especially on early cars and in town. AWD versions add a modest amount of traction in slippery conditions.
