Peugeot 2008

The Peugeot 2008 is a compact crossover that blends sharp French styling with a practical, high-riding layout, giving it more presence and versatility than a typical small hatchback. Inside it offers a clever, user-friendly cabin with sensible storage and modern infotainment, while a composed ride and efficient powertrains make it well suited to both city errands and longer journeys.

details

VW ID.Polo

The VW ID.Polo brings classic Polo sensibility to the EV age with a calm, refined ride, an unusually large boot, and refreshingly simple controls with real buttons. It favors easygoing efficiency and family-friendly practicality over playful handling or high-speed autobahn pace, and the smaller-battery versions ask for a bit more planning on long trips.
