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 T87 is the seven-seat MPV that shares its bones with the 3008, and it drives with the same easy, stable manners. Built on the PF2 platform, it stays reasonably light for its size, so the front axle turns in cleanly and the long wheelbase keeps it planted and settled on the motorway. The raised driving position and big glass make it feel solid and easy to place, while most versions ride on a comfort-tuned rear that irons out broken tarmac. The 1.6 THP is eager, the 2.0 HDi pulls strongly and quietly, and the 6-speed automatic shifts without fuss. The HYbrid4 adds electric drive but is more complex. It is a comfortable, easy people-carrier, not a sporty one.
