Two French SUVs go head-to-head: the Citroën C5 Aircross brings cushy, family-focused comfort while the DS 7 poses as the sharper, more upscale pick. We’ll judge them on space, ride, tech and running costs to tell you whether to buy sensible comfort or fashionable flair — the driveway’s decision is yours.

The Citroën C5 Aircross feels like a sofa on wheels, delivering a calm, floaty ride and clever packaging that makes life with luggage and kids noticeably easier. Quirky French styling and a supremely practical, family-focused cabin mean it quietly wins hearts by prioritising comfort over showroom bravado.

Peugeot 3008 as a suitable alternative to DS Automobiles DS 7

Styled like a Parisian couture house on wheels, the DS 7 trades the Peugeot 3008’s sensible pragmatism for a more luxurious cabin, sharper materials and a showier face that will turn more heads at the traffic lights. Under the skin the 3008 is the pragmatist’s choice — punchy engines, clever packaging and better value for families — while the DS 7 rewards buyers who want extra refinement and flair, provided they’re happy to pay a bit more for the privilege.

The Peugeot 3008 blends striking, modern styling with a comfortable, well-appointed interior that feels more premium than its class. It's practical and composed on the road, with clever storage and driver-focused tech that make it an easy choice for everyday family life or longer, relaxed drives.
