Our quick take
Peugeot 2008 Allure e-HDi 92 - 4.0 / 5
The attraction of traction
Keep on moving
Diesel-electric
Less funk, more function
Design over style
A system that loses its appeal with each passing moment
To recap
Replacing the old 207 SW was hardly going to be the biggest challenge, but unless you really must have a fashionable crossover, the 2008 makes a convincing case in a way that few small, modern crossovers do. Practical but with a dash of panache, the clincher is the brilliantly flexible, refined and economically diesel engine fitted to our test car.
