Pros Slots into daily life. Tech-heavy but not baffling. Refined, safe
Cons A little dull to drive. Stiffish ride. Only one engine at launch
Pros Good safety kit Competitive finance deals Improved on-board tech
Cons Poor CVT gearbox Smaller boot than rivals Fidgety ride on big wheels
Pros Practical, solid interior Lots of standard kit Comfortable at a cruise
Cons Not much fun to drive Boot space is a bit limited Infotainment can be laggy
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
