PEUGEOT SEAT

A STRONGER turbo petrol engine allied to the 3008’s comfort and refinement contributes towards its victory over the Ateca here. However, the smarter cabin, bigger, more practical boot and more advanced infotainment seal the deal. The Peugeot is more expensive to buy, but you get more for your money, and you’ll spend less of it to run the 3008. THE Ateca is a sweet SUV in 1.0 TSI form. It’s great to drive and affordable. However, it can’t match the Peugeot for comfort, which will be a bigger boon more of the time, and nor can it match it for kit or quality. Add in higher running costs, and although there’s little to separate them in terms of versatility, it narrowly loses out to the 3008.
