Peugeot 5008 2021 Updated and Rated Australian Peugeots are marketed as posh, premium, and even, yes I’ll say it, luxury. In the land of parlez vous, they’re taxis. PCA (Peugeot Citroen Automobiles) comes from a long and lavish lineage of comfy and cosy cars, buses and vans. The French got all bolshy.

SantaFe is sister to KIA’s Sorento and shares much DNA. Until now, I’ve always thought the Hyundai versions lacked the confidence and youth of the KIA’s daring lines.

I love a big van. There, I’ve said it. I said big, and although Peugeot Partner Van is cute and functional, it is very small. Does that mean it is no good? ON the contrary, it’s a peach.
