Claw marks way of the future
ROAD TEST Commitment to modest-capacity, lion-hearted engines has been a Peugeot thing for a few years, but now it steps up. Remember the previous generation of this car? On arrival in 2016, it presented in three distinct trim levels and with a choice of three engines, a 1.6-litre petrol, and a pair of diesels, in 1.6 and 2.0-litres, all connected to an eight-speed automatic. All those have gone now. Today's car has a mild-hybrid powertrain based on the 1.2 "PureTech" three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, connected to a six-speed twin-clutch gearbox. That's it. It's a new age. The latest unit delivers less power and torque than previous offerings, but it almost matches the old diesels for economy and beats all the predecessor powertrains for low emissions. This is a stepping stone towards Peugeot's aim to be heavily electric by 2030; even now the 3008 and closely-related 5008 are produced in three strengths of electric-involved flavour. In either, above the "self-charging" type tested today, comes a plug-in hybrid. Beyond that sits a full electric. In New Zealand we just see the "self-charging" starter, logically because PHEV and EV sales have slackened a lot in the past year, and also because battery implementation comes at a cost. As is, the hybrids cost more than the previous generation types. The new GT on test is the priciest 3008 yet sold here. This 3008 is similarly-sized to the last, but it's on a wholly new platform, has a more rakish roofline and styling is bolder all-round, not least from front-on. Three claw-like daytime running lights complement slim LED headlights. Rather than a conventional upper grille, there's a panel adorned with a 3-D pattern where the brand's logo takes centre stage. It's certainly eye-catching and the detailing is amazing; but some will be uncertain. Don't pass final judgement until you see how it illuminates in darkness. The interior is also highly dressed, but with a twist. There's no talking Peugeot out of its polarising i-Cockpit layout with a tiny steering wheel. Even though the wheel rim is now flattened at the top, anyone tall may find themselves craning to see the bottom part of the digital instrument display. Nonetheless, the new ingredient of a vast curved 21-inch screen (technically two screens side-by-side) is a better solution than the small old instrument binnacle with a heads up display. The instrument-dedicated end of the screen is easy to read, and can therefore be fathomed at a glance; the infotainment side is more heavily-loaded and the decision to keep buttons to a minimum means you'd be wise to bone up on the shortcut provisions. The infotainment section is managed by Peugeot i-Connect, which features over-the-air map updates, Bluetooth, wireless smartphone connectivity and a multi-speaker stereo. It's clever and touch interactions are fast and seamless, but the microprocessors can be overwhelmed if you rush it too much; fast-firing through the audio modes to finally settle on the radio put the test car's system into a timeout frump, only resolved by turning the ignition completely off, then on again. The source plant for the 3008, Sochaux in France, is the world's oldest car factory still operating, having been commissioned in 1912, but it's been utterly modernised. The 3008 is said to be the pride of the place; they've knocked out more than 1million, and the test example was an exemplar of assembly excellence. That it was the first of thousands of test cars I've had to lack a bonnet stay was a chuckle-raising quirk, but I'd say this was more likely due to some Kiwi meddling than any line worker oversight. Gloss black exterior trim, alloy wheels, LED lights front and rear, keyless entry and starting, two-zone climate control, LED cabin lighting, heated mirrors and part-synthetic-leather upholstery are standard fare, but for the full Jean Paul Gaultier, the GT is the go. Eight-colour LED ambient lighting, a more bombastic stereo, heating for the steering wheel and front seats, a massage function for those chairs, and upholstery featuring tasteful Alcantara trim. The GT also stands out by having pixel-LED headlights with adaptive main beam and a unique tail light design, plus those Peugeot shield badges on the front wings. Across-the-board driver assist, crash avoidance and safety provision run to six airbags, autonomous emergency braking, traffic sign recognition, lane assist and blind-spot monitoring, plus front and rear parking sensors. The GT includes adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist, rear cross-traffic alert and 360-degree cameras to give a plan view of the car's surroundings. Safety evaluation by Euro NCAP and ANCAP has yet to occur. Peugeot will obviously be chasing a continuation of the maximum five-star rating achieved by previous iterations of the 3008. The "French-ness" is patent. Using fabric coverings on the dash panels is a touch of flair that creates a stylish and tactile surface atop regular plastics. The bank of built-in ambient lighting also feeds a high-end impression. Locating the drive selector high on the dash next to the air vents and beside the engine-start button is a quirk that takes some learning. Don't feel shame if you try to select gears with the "iToggle" shortcut controller closer to your left knee. Everyone does it. It's labelled as a "Drive mode", after all. The wiper and indicator controls are reversed in European style, but it's a shame that in respect to the split-level centre console, the lower part incorporating storage is also kept in left-hand-drive form, which adds awkwardness to accessing the large covered cubby with loads of storage space, plus USB-C ports. A more positive aspect is that as much as the coupe-SUV body shape might seem destined to compromise cabin space, it really doesn't. Rear headroom is good and boot space is generous, at 520 litres. The cargo area also features a split-level floor so you can create hidden storage. Fold the back seats down and luggage space rises to 1480 litres. The test car returned an average 6.3 litres per 100km overall from 512km operation. This was 1.1L/100km short of the count Peugeot claims under the WLTP test regime, but still seemed fair for a car of this size, given the mix of open road and urban driving. The on-board calculator reckoned, at the point of the car being handed back, there was enough left in the 55-litre tank for another 240km driving. Meantime, brand confidence that it can do a reasonable job in performance terms is not overly-optimistic. Sure, it's a car that entertains a measured pace. Yet though it sounds puny for a car of this size, by and large the powertrain delivers above expectation. Naturally, moments of full performance require the engine's neck to be thoroughly wrung, but at least it makes a nice noise when pushed hard. Settle back a bit and the powertrain's refinement is very good. Driving with a full load of occupants and a boot full of stuff will be the ultimate challenge, of course. That didn't happen on test, but the relatively modest 750kg/1200kg braked towing maximum suggests you can expect only so much from an engine so small. The Eco, Normal and Sport driving modes tweak the power steering assistance and throttle response and conceivably affect the hybrid side; for a long-duration city to city run, the car seemed perfectly happy in Normal; Sport stepped up the reactivity, but made it noisier. Urban use gives the best opportunity for the battery and 15.6kW electric motor, which can only wholly propel the car at low speeds and for short bursts, but more generally does a good job of assisting the combustion engine to make it more efficient. In my use, the car used full-electric sparingly and didn't need much encouragement to engage petrol; when cold, that happens with a bit of a jolt. Once everything warms up, it becomes unobtrusive. French brands like to make their cars fun, and there's a certain dollop of joie de vivre to the 3008. Yet overall there's nothing here that suggests it's the keenest dynamic choice. While the steering is quick and it doesn't mind being hustled through corners, the suspension has been tuned as much for comfort as body control. In saying that, the ride quality is a touch on the firm side. Not to the point that it gets you rattled, but you can tell when smooth tarmac turns to coarse chip. It runs a large tyre for this class of car and that might contribute to it being so attuned to texture feel. All in all, the 3008 has cleverly evolved a lot; this third generation is a big step from the last and bears very little commonality with the original. What began as a chubby family car offering a mix of MPV and SUV promise has transformed into a sleek coupe-SUV with far more technology and a much grander marketing aspiration. As a hybrid? It's good, but not spectacular; there are other efficiency champions around, some for less spend.

Opel Grandland EV review: electric SUV offers good range and undercuts hybrids on price
in GS trim there is a lot going on here. Very impressive IT IS not often in these columns that you will see us plump for the electric variant in a model line-up which includes a variety of internal combustion engine options as well. Then again, there's a first time for everything. The car in question is the new Opel Grandland, which was reviewed in petrol hybrid form in these columns in the not-so-distant past and which only secured a three-star rating, being panned generally for having poor driving dynamics — even if it is comfortable, well-specified, and competitively priced. Good looking too, this new Grandland. Having previously been something of a staid, boring family SUV, a refreshed look has given it a much-needed visual boost and an appeal that didn't previously exist. In many ways, the new generation of cars should be well placed to take advantage of renewed appeal and sell in larger numbers than ever before. However, we found that the mild hybrid petrol engine lacked the puff to carry this big-ish car around the place with any alacrity, although — – as we know — such a characteristic is not necessarily top of the list for many punters. Even so, we felt a touch disappointed by the new car — certainly in that format — despite the fact that Opel's stock has risen inexorably since it came under the wing of the PSA Group (Peugeot, Citroen etc) having been sold by its previous owners, General Motors. With the French giant having subsequently merged into the Stellantis conglomerate, Opel still has stronger ties with the Gallic end of the business — probably more than any of the other elements of the group: Fiat, Chrysler and so on. In the case of the Grandland, which is very closely related to Peugeot's new 3008, that has been pretty beneficial. We particularly saw that in this week's tester, the EV version of the car. We've not yet tried the electric 3008, but having driven the Grandland EV, doing so would not be the chore it might once have appeared to be. The reason: This is one damned fine car, ergo, if that's the case then the Peugeot should be too. Opel Grandland spacious interior In any event, it is the Opel we are focussed on and — aside altogether from its abilities as an EV (more of which later) — the German company has pulled off something of a coup here because the electric version is cheaper than its hybrid siblings. The outrageous cost of EVs has long been a bugbear in these columns and, for some time now, we have refused to accept the industry's excuse that research and development costs for these vehicles have put their baseline cost into the stratosphere. We don't buy it. The development of an electric motor is something which should cost a fraction of that related to the design and build of a new internal combustion engine — or series of engines. Sure there will be ancillary developmental costs, but nothing to suggest that the end product will come to the market at a price significantly greater than that of an internal combustion engine equivalent. No, but a lot of companies — as is their wont — have been of the opinion that if the green market out there wants electrics as badly as research would suggest, then they'll gladly pay for it. The recent collapse in EV sales would tend to suggest otherwise. Read More Essential electric vehicle tips for Irish road trips and motorway driving In any event, Opel has struck something of a rich vein of potential sales by pitching the new Grandland EV to the market at a price less than that of its internal combustion engine siblings. And, when tied in with such as SEAI grant aid, this makes the car's appeal all the greater. Opel are definitely on to something here, and that's only one of the good reasons to look carefully at this car. In terms of performance, it is powered by a 210bhp electric motor and a 73-kWh battery and, while the nine-second 0-100 km/h time might suggest it's a tad slovenly, remember this thing weighs some 2.1 tonnes — making it something of a Billy Bunter on wheels. The top speed of 180 km/h is pretty impressive, but better again is the claimed range of over 520km — realistically somewhere in the region of 460-470km — is something of an eye-opener for a family SUV and makes it considerably more appealing than most in this segment. That it will recharge from 20% to 80% in just 26 minutes also makes it a lot more tolerable than a lot of its competitors. A coffee break when you're covering a substantial distance will see you well in most circumstances. For such a relatively big car, the handling is very tidy and, while the ride can be a little rough on B-roads, in general, the car is a pleasing companion most of the time. You would have thought too that manoeuvring it around urban areas might be tricky because of its bulk, but an array of driver-aids makes parking it in tight spots an absolute doddle. The new Opel Grandland EV The interior is spacious and comfortable, and the infotainment system is easily navigable. The actual physical controls for the climate system make life easier too. In the GS trim, we tested — expected to be the big seller — the car comes with the 3D 'Vizor' front end look with an illuminated Opel 'Blitz' emblem and Intelli-Lux LED lights (which actually put on a little show every time you unlock the doors), all of which make the car that little bit more appealing. So, getting back to where we started, the EV Grandland impressed us more than the hybrid version; it was good to drive and the practicalities (or impracticalities, in the case of most EVs) of having a workable range and decent charging times were impressive. By and large, it drives well, is comfortable, well specced, roomy, and practical while also having an attractive demeanour. All that, in our view, makes it a much more compelling choice than the hybrid version. While there was always a workmanlike aspect to Opel's products, this adds a touch of exterior glamour, a well-finished interior decor, and some personal touches that should appeal to most potential owners. In short, this is perhaps the best option in the Grandland range and when you consider it is that most rare of things — an EV that's cheaper than the alternative options within the range — it becomes something a lot more plausible than most of its competitors. We have not said that about to many EVs in this era of a vastly changing automotive landscape. Read More MG HS PHEV review: budget SUV with big value but flawed performance

Ask the expert: Can you explain the types of car insurance write-offs?
Dear Alex, My insurer intends to write off my 58,000-mile 2016 Peugeot 3008 following a collision in which most of the front panels require replacement. But otherwise, it's in great shape and very economical, so I have asked them to reconsider. If they decline and offer me cash (enough to cover the repair cost), would it be sensible to get it repaired? If it is, how would I go about it? – JL Dear JL, As long as your car isn't a Category A or B write-off, which means it cannot be put back on the road, the insurer will be quite happy to sell it back to you. They'll then give you the cash insurance payout, less the amount you're paying for the car, then it's yours to keep. If the car is deemed a Category N write-off – the damage is not structural – you can repair it and put it back on the road, although you'll need to notify the DVLA of its Category N status. If your insurer marks the car as a Category S (ie structural) write-off, it will need a new MOT inspection once it's been repaired. You'll also need to apply for a new registration document because your old one will have to be surrendered to your insurer. Might this be worth it? As far as I can tell, you'd have to pay about £8,000 to buy an identical 3008, so, in theory, that's what your insurer should be paying out. However, a Category N write-off will be worth significantly less – at the time of writing, the only one I can see for sale with similar mileage to yours is going for £4,000. Therefore, the remedial work is only worth doing if the cost of the car combined with the cost of the repair is not going to be any more than £4,000. That way, you'll have the remaining £4,000-odd left over from the insurance payout to compensate you for the loss of value on the car. If it's going to cost more, I don't think I'd bother, no matter how nice the car is. There are plenty more Peugeot 3008s out there – it isn't a rare car yet – so it should be relatively easy to take the payout, buy a replacement and save yourself the hassle of getting the repair work done.
