Peugeot

Of the big three French marques, Peugeot is the one struggling most to find an identity. Renault and Citroen have both made quality leaps but managed to keep their quirky sides pretty much intact, but Peugeot’s range lacks energy. Worthy, competent, but less solid than Germans and without the compensatory pizzazz.

  • Peugeot 308

    308

    £11,273 - £19,348

    Enthusiastic attempt to inject real quality into the 307 segment. Fine, but making it goggly-eyed ugly wasn’t the stroke of genius we were hoping for. Falls short.

  • Peugeot 308 SW

    308 SW

    £13,663 - £20,048

    When we said the 308 falls short, we didn’t mean we wanted them to physically make it longer. But in fairness they’ve improved it by adding a huge load area.

  • Peugeot 4007

    4007

    £22,103 - £24,803

    Awfully ordinary entry into the dreary end of the Vectra market. Not even the best of the French contingent – the Citroen C5 has moved the goalposts to another field.

  • Peugeot 407

    407

    £14,953 - £27,210

     Awfully ordinary entry into the dreary end of the Vectra market. Not even the best of the French contingent – the Citroen C5 has moved the goalposts to another field.

  • Peugeot 407 SW

    407 SW

    £16,153 - £26,360

    As with the 308, the estate version improves on an insipid donor vehicle, but don’t run away with the idea this is a spacious load-lugger. Miniature dogs only.

  • Peugeot 607

    607

    £24,290 - £28,260

    If you thought the 407 was dull, this French ministerial runabout is hypnotically sleep-inducing. Don’t operate heavy machinery if you’ve just driven one. 

  • Peugeot 807

    807

    £18,875 - £27,398

    Huge MPV with delusions of Espace, but so boxy it resembles the first-generation Renault. Shares lineage with Citroen’s creaky C8. Your family can do better than this. 

  • Peugeot Partner Tepee

    Partner Tepee

    Tsk. Another van-with-windows named after native North American accommodation structures. When will they ever stop?
