Peugeot 5008 review

There are plenty of desirable, seven-seat SUVs to choose from if your budget extends  beyond £50,000, but the Peugeot 5008 proves you don't need pockets anywhere that deep.

Yep – this Seat Tarraco, Skoda Kodiaq and Nissan X-Trail rival is roughly half the price of most posh-badged luxury 4x4s, such as the Audi Q7 and Volvo XC90, yet offers many of the same virtues, including a lofty driving position, a smart interior and first-class safety provisions.

Okay, it doesn't take up quite as much space on the road, but you might think that's a good thing – especially given that the 5008 will still happily haul around seven adults in comfort and use a good deal less fuel when doing so.
