Verdict

This is a world away from the bloated, bland 207 that went before. Peugeot deserves praise for making a car that’s smaller and lighter but with more space inside than before. We’re quite big fans of the innovative interior architecture, but try before you buy - it won’t be for everyone. That, together with the tech set up, mean this is a car with a good deal of appeal for people like us.

It’s not perfect – it’s on the pricey side in this trim level and still doesn’t drive with the panache of Peugeots of old, but that clever interior, smart tech set-up, good looks and a brilliant diesel engine mean it ought at least to be on your shortlist.
