It's an elegant and understated car. Excellent material finishes; its two screens are very convenient for driving. Very good acceleration and braking response, great stability and good handling in corners. Good nighttime lighting, a safe, comfortable car and a pleasure to drive and travel in. My car is the A‑Class 200d. Kind regards.

Peugeot 5008

The Peugeot 5008 blends Peugeot's sharp design with the space and versatility families actually need, wrapping clever packaging and a premium-feeling cabin in a crisp, SUV-like silhouette. It drives with more poise than you'd expect from a people carrier, serves up practical touches and flexible seating for everyday chaos, and still looks good when parked outside the school gates.

Great cars: comfortable, elegant — it has style and reasonable engine power.
A price that makes the competition pale. With a long-range battery, it lets you cover long distances.
And on top of that, made in France.

The family car par excellence: a big boot, three equal and adjustable seats in the second row, two extra easily accessible seats, an engine that’s more than adequate... everything is excellent except for the slightly high price.
