Peugeot 3008 Review: The Vertu VERDICT
“The Peugeot 3008 suits those who want the sensibilities of a high-riding, versatile mid-size SUV without sacrificing style, panache and Gallic flair. Indeed, the 3008's kerb appeal does a lot of the hard selling but that's not to discredit it's other standout features, notably its thoughtfully designed interior boasting materials you'd expect from more expensive rivals. The choice of electric, PHEV and petrol powertrains is the icing on the cake.”

Mid-Size SUVs To Also Consider...
Nissan Qashqai
The Nissan Qashqai has long been a favourite in the UK and it has never been better than in its current third generation guise. An attractive looker with fine quality and impressive refinement, the Qashqai is particularly impressive when paired with its e-POWER hybrid system
.
.
Kia Sportage
The Kia Sportage has set up shop near the summit of the UK sales charts for several years now and it is for good reason too. Indeed, regular updates have kept the already handsome Sportage looking fresh, while improving the efficiency of its engine range and fine-tuning the excellent build quality. Then there is the seven-year warranty.
.
.
Hyundai Tucson
The Hyundai Tucson has been a mainstay in the mid-size SUV class for many years now but rivals still have a hard time bettering it in many areas, not least its sheer practicality, quality interior and wide range of trims and engines
