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 Koleos
A relaxed family cruiser rather than a dynamic driver's car, with good visibility. Comfortable and composed for a mid-size SUV, with a soft ride that prioritises long-distance refinement. Steering is light and accurate enough for the size but lacks strong feedback. Body control is adequate, though some examples feel soft over larger bumps. Diesels provide strong low-end torque for motorway use and overtaking. X-Tronic CVT automatics are smooth once under way but can feel sluggish or noisy under hard acceleration. AWD versions add traction in poor conditions but increase weight.
