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.

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.

VW Touareg

Volkswagen Touareg wraps a grown-up presence in a classy, well-appointed cabin that feels more like a premium saloon than an SUV. It glides with quiet composure, devours long journeys and tucks away clever tech that makes life easier whether you’re stuck in town or nipping off the beaten track.

Brilliant car. Had 3 since 2005. Can't fault them. Would have purchased another, but after visiting local dealership, vehicle was being used by Sales Manager and it was in a d disgraceful condition. So purchased BME X6

Impeccable road-holding, especially if you choose optional extras like air suspension, active anti-roll bars and rear-wheel steering. Fast, quiet and comfortable.

I've been driving a Touareg 3.0 TDI with 286 PS, model year 2019, for 5 years.
So far no problems. Zero repairs.
Air suspension is top.
Driving feel is great.
Fuel consumption is also excellent for a vehicle of this weight (7.5 liters on average).
In my opinion the car is highly recommendable. That's why 5 stars!
