Peugeot has its strongest model line-up for some years, with some of its cars now rated by our testers as being among the very best available.

Highlights focus around the firm’s newest SUVs, the 3008 and 5008. The 5008 was named Large SUV of the Year at the 2018 What Car? Awards, thanks to its appealing blend of space, interior quality and low running costs.

That bodes well for future launches, too, because many of the learnings from these cars will be passed on as new versions of existing cars are launched – something that could take many years, because the Peugeot range is so big, ranging from an entry-level supermini with the 108 to an executive saloon with the 508, up into the SUV range and also vans.

Buyers should evaluate some of the lower-rated cars in the range more carefully, though. Some are now quite old, and are subsequently left behind in terms of quality when compared with the opposition, making them below-average buys, in our estimation.

Peugeot is calling for drivers to use speed-limiters and to set them to 20mph when driving near schools or residential areas. The manufacturer, which fits limiters to most of its models, says that limiting speed means safer driving and allows for better fuel economy. 'Excessive speed is widely regarded as the number one contributor to road accidents, and keeping a speed below 20mph makes total sense when driving in residential areas or near schools,' said Morgan Lecoupeur, director of marketing for Peugeot UK.

'Maintaining 20 mph or lower in a modern car is taxing, but in truth it needn't have to be due to speed-limiters fitted to most new models.'
