Pros High-quality cabin, logical tech, reliable EV range
Cons Execution of plug-in power needs some smoothing out
Pros Punchy plug-in hybrid drivetrain Big step up in build quality and materials Sporty diesel and petrol engines en route
Cons Ride tends to crash over potholes and corrugations No DC charging or V2G/V2L capability Six-cylinder engines still a while away
Small SUVs launch in abundance but thanks to electric power and great interior tech, this is among the most interesting.
Pros Fancy dials, Great petrol engines and a decent EV
Cons Firm (ish) ride, Pricey if you tick too many boxes
The Peugeot 2008 is an SUV you can buy with your heart and your head. It’s cheap to run, easy to drive and has a big boot but, alas, the back seats aren’t that spacious.
Pros Stylish design 3D infotainment display Fun and cheap to run
Cons Noisy diesel Tight back seats Sluggish automatic gearbox
The e-2008 has a great interior that offers a decent amount of space, but the car’s appeal is limited by its high list price and disappointing battery range compared with those of the best rivals.
Pros Refined interior Relatively spacious Impressive build quality
Cons Expensive Rivals have longer range Firm ride
