VERDICT
The Overview | The Drive | The Cabin | Owning | The Verdict
I like the 5008. It’s an easy car to live with and comes loaded with toys. The standard 360-degree parking camera system is one of the best and most accurate I’ve tried even if the screen graphics are not quite HD ready. The Allure starts at £28,215. As tested it is £33980. For that, I’d leave out some of the options and instead make an already good value car even better value.
Love
Quality feel
Soft ride
Price
Loathe
Lack of integrity in the rear
Some options pricy
Infotainment system sometimes slow to respond
