2022 Peugeot 3008 Summary

The great downpour of electric vehicles hasn't hit Australia yet, but vehicles such as Peugeot’s 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid is one of the big drops signalling that storm is about break. But should you wait until the EV ‘rain’ sets in or be an early adopter?

The range-topping 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid is Peugeot’s first electric SUV to arrive in Australia. Electric in that it has electric motors, but also a petrol engine, making it a hybrid – the type you plug into a charger to fill the battery back up.

Peugeot gave me a 3008 GT Sport Plug-in Hybrid to test over three days and I quickly discovered what this mid-sized SUV was good at, and where it could be better.

2024 Mini Countryman Summary

A new JCW (John Cooper Works) Mini variant usually attracts a bit of attention. And there’s a fair bit to talk about with this latest example. 

The third-generation Countryman is the largest model yet to carry the Mini name - it’s not far off the size of a Volvo XC40 now - so the question is, has Mini maintained its go-kart feel and darty dynamics with a vehicle that’s now firmly in small family SUV territory?

We travelled to Portugal to drive the new Countryman in SE electric and petrol-powered JCW guise. Despite the very different vibes, there’s some interesting parallels to their respective performance.
