The new Peugeot 5008 departs from the MPV styling of the old model, instead, it’s chosen the SUV look that’s proven so irresistible to buyers, while inside you get the latest incarnation of Peugeot’s i-Cockpit design language.
Pros Looks interesting Interior is impressive for class Generous standard equipment
Cons Not that exciting to drive So-so practicality Top-spec models are
The new Peugeot 5008 represents an oh-so-Gallic salvo in the fight for buyers in the medium-to-large SUV segment. With its sharp design, sharper pricing and extensive equipment list, is it enough to lure buyers away from more mainstream models?
Pros Gorgeous interior that oozes premium Extensive array of included features Sharp styling Comfortable ride Spacious boot Oodles of torque from the 2.0-litre diesel
Cons Third row is best saved for short trips 1.6-litre petrol is not the punchiest unit Brand perception
Pros Great looks inside and out Competitive 200-plus mile range A wide range of models to choose from
Cons It's too early to say We need to wait until 2021 to drive it
The Vauxhall Mokka-e offers buyers sharp looks, a decent range, a generous amount of standard kit and a relatively comfy and quiet ride. However, if you’re looking for a funky urban EV, there are cheaper options available, such as the Fiat 500 and Mazda MX-30. Those looking for an EV to ‘do it all’, meanwhile, would be far better off with a Kia e-Niro or Volkswagen ID.3, both of which are far more spacious and will go much farther on a charge.
Pros Pretty comfortable Impressively quiet at speed Plenty of standard kit
Cons e-Niro and ID.3 have longer ranges Cheap feeling interior Not that quick by EV standards
