2021 Peugeot 5008 Summary

Previously on carsguide.com.au: Peter Anderson drove the Peugeot 5008 and quite liked it. 

I don't think it's going to be a huge shock to learn that the recent update to the 5008 seven-seater has improved the car and, therefore, my opinion of the car. 

Except, it's more than an update. Prices are much higher than when I drove the Crossway edition 5008 in 2019 (remember those happy times?) and the difference between the petrol and diesel engines is especially wide now in 2021.

The updated 5008 shares a great deal with its 3008 sibling and the two share a very important attribute - they are distinctively French, in a good way.

2025 Skoda Kodiaq Summary

Skoda’s Kodiaq is a relatively small fish in a large, seven-seat SUV pond. While apex predators like Toyota’s LandCruiser Prado and Ford’s Everest swallow huge chunks of category market share, it’s been lurking quietly in the shallow end.

But given it’s named after a hulking brown bear, with a particular taste for fresh fish, maybe its time has come to rise from the shallows and make a bigger impact with Aussie buyers.

That’s because after the best part of eight years in market here, the original Kodiaq has been replaced by a new, second-generation version.

Skoda says it’s more space-efficient, with extra tech and spec, as well as better performance, improved fuel economy and more.

So, if you’re in the market for a sizeable, primo, three-row SUV with a unique Czech Republic twist, stay with us for CarsGuide’s Australian first drive review.
