Driving experience

Peugeot 3008

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.

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.
