Compare the Renault Rafale vs Peugeot 3008
AI generated from our expert reviews
Choosing between these French SUVs comes down to how you balance comfort, space and driving feel. The Peugeot 3008 gives you a bigger boot with the rear seats in place, and its soft suspension takes the edge off potholes nicely. It is also well-contained against road noise on the motorway, though it leans notably in the bends and rear legroom is tight. By contrast, the Renault Rafale stays composed through corners with little body lean, and back-seat passengers enjoy generous legroom, along with more room overall when the rear seats are folded. However, its suspension thuds over sharper potholes, and tyre roar is intrusive at speed on the motorway. Both models come with a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty.
