This most potent of 3008s is a four-wheel drive plug-in that combines rapid performance with low CO2 emissions. It’s too expensive to recommend to private buyers, but thanks to its impressive pure electric range, it falls into a low benefit-in-kind tax bracket, making it worth considering if you’re on the lookout for a company car.

Estate

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.

We reckon mid-spec Allure Premium+ trim is worth the extra for its upgraded infotainment system and slightly posher interior.

Peugeot 3008

Stylish, practical and good to drive, the well-equipped 3008 is a highly recommendable
family SUV. For most retail buyers, the 1.2 Hybrid 136 is the best choice, but the Hybrid4
plug-in hybrid model will offer significantly lower company car tax payments. There are
better PHEV SUVs out there, though, and the Skoda Karoq is an even more practical
alternative to the regular hybrid and diesel 3008.

<h2>What we're looking for:</h2><ul><li>Comfortable ride </li> <li>Feature-filled infotainment </li> <li>Space for child seats </li> <li>Robust build quality </li> <li>Practical storage spaces </li> <li>A boot fit for a family holiday </li> <li>Fuel-efficient engines</li></ul>

While we define a small SUV&nbsp;as something&nbsp;less than 4.3 metres long and a large SUV as measuring more than 4.5 metres, family SUVs tread the middle ground.

As the name suggests, the vast majority are&nbsp;designed for family duties rather than serious off-roading, so practicality is paramount. However, that&nbsp;shouldn't come at the expense of a decent drive; the best examples combine tidy handling with smooth engines&nbsp;and a ride that's comfortable&nbsp;enough to ensure the kids aren't left feeling queasy.
