Driving experience
Peugeot 3008
The T84 is the 3008 that put Peugeot into the crossover game, and it drives more like a tall hatch than an SUV. Built on the PF2 bones shared with the 308, it stays reasonably light, so the front axle turns in cleanly and the raised body adds visibility without making the ride busy. The high-set 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 crossover, not a sporty 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.
