I think Rebecca just does not like Citroens 😂 I have a C5 Aircross (previous version mind you) and have tried the 3008. Yes the 3008 is sportier, but ride quality of the Citroen is miles ahead and any hybrid once the battery goes flat is a petrol guzzler. Also, the space in the back of the Aircross is roomy enough and I dare say roomier. The Peugeot to us felt more cramped on head space. Back to the ride quality, I never experienced bumpy rides in any urban setting if anything it just feels even smoother. I live where there are a lot of B roads and a lot of potholes, it was that in great part that tipped me to the C5.
Tested them both 4 years ago. Although Peugeot had nicer looks and more polished interior, the ride quality and acustic glass combined with bigger boot, made me buy the Citroen.
Rating a a cheap family mid size SUV on sporty feeling is as dumb as rating a Bugaty Chiron on back seat capacity...Also, why is sporty=good? I have been riden in 5008 with 18" wheels and ride quality was afoul, why on earth would anyone want that?
This is a good comparison video ,but it seems the host is harsh on the citroen c5 aircross a little bit . My family has different citroen cars in the past but didn't let us down. And saving money up to get a citroen c5 aircross in a hybrid. Citroen c5 looks way cooler in my opinion.
I have owned my C5 Aircross now for 9 months, in that time it has been absolutely faultless and I love it. I also own a 2004 BMW E39 M5 and I use the C5 as a daily, it's so comfortable and much more relaxing to drive. On top of that I just love it's chunky rugged looks. I tried a Range Rover Evoque and it was rubbish, I hated it instantly, the C5 beats that car hands down, go figure. If someone had told me a Citroen would be better than a so called luxury brand car I would have laughed in their face, but the uncomfortable truth is, it is!
Thank you for the review, it was really informative. I have been looking at loads of cars and whittled my list down to these two, so your review was perfect. I have just ordered a new C5 Aircross e series plug in hybrid. I am so excited and found the drive so smooth that i can't wait to get out on our terrible roads!.
I have driven both and preferred the C5 Aircross. Wasn't mentioned that you also have a button below the touch screen to take you straight to your heating and AC.

I'm still really enjoying my 2018 Peugeot 3008, but I do like the new facelift Citroen C5. When I test drove the older C5, it was smoother, but I liked the agility of the Peugeot and the smaller steering wheel. I also liked the interior styling a bit better. In another year I'll probably upgrade then decide whether to go for the newer 3008 or the newer C5. It will be a tough decision.
In my 3rd year of the C5 with the 1.6 petrol engine (non hybrid) from new and has been faultless plus it has a proper adult steering wheel not one found on a kids ride found outside supermarkets
@HologramJones no one that has "racing background" and consequently "racing driver mind" will ever appreciate (if not even been unable to understand) the comfort oriented Citroen cars... even if/when their steering wheel is precise despite its lightness, and their body roll is much more composed and cornering manners far better than it seems at first glance.... for EVERY racing driver, whose mind is subconsciously always seeking the fastest "attack trajectory" trough corners, Citroen's non-aggressive, laid back (but not uncapable) and comfort oriented philosophy of traveling is something they just can not like "by the default" 😉....
Peugeot 3008 GT PHEV would be my choice in grey or blue. The looks, interior and overall quality seems really nice and just the design overall is much nicer.
Not really sure what’s she’s yapping on about regarding the suspension. These cars both use the same set up and same parts. Your probably feeling the difference in weight. The Citroen is heavier especially with all that hybrid tech packed in the rear boot floor. This isn’t really a fair comparison tbh
Not a big fan of the Peugeot's dash or steering wheel but, having driven one before, it's a lovely car to spend time in otherwise (It was the plug-in hybrid)
I own a 2017 3008 with the 1.2 engine. The performance is fine, but there's zero feedback from the steering, which is very disconcerting. I do love the small steering wheel though! My previous car was a 1.8 petrol Renault Scenic, which it turns out was vastly superior to the Peugeot both in handling and practicality.
@@joegaffney1959 In the first few months I twice had an issue whilst driving in slow traffic; the engine just cut out, taking several attempts to restart it. Peugeot ran the diagnostics, but there was no fault report and it hasn't happened again since. Otherwise there've been no problems with reliability - but it's done less than 8000 miles from new so probably not representative.
Cheers 👍. It has a stop /start doesn't it? I've not had it on a car before but sounds like it could be something to do with that? With the amount of electronics on cars nowadays there's more to go wrong generally. I was looking at a Dacia duster as less electronics but they seem to hold their value a bit too well given how basic they are. I wanted something a bit more comfortable for driving longer distances.
@@joegaffney1959 It does. It shouldn't operate when the car's moving or the accelerator or clutch are being pressed, but you could be right. I absolutely agree about the electronics; plus it's very unnerving when some of the driver "assistance" systems operate. I've certainly found the car comfortable on 2-3 hour journeys.
Is it a location thing where people say pear-jot rather than Pew-jot? Gotta disagree about the quality inside the 3008 though, looks better but plenty of cheap plastics to be found and that engine has a magnitude of issues with it.
In Australia, The 2.0diesel is the way to go. Far superior to the 1.5 diesel and light years ahead of the petrol Tech engines. The 2.0 diesel is the best engine ever put into a Peugeot. And they are extremely reliable. Will go forever.
Both nice cars but id choose the Citroen, prefer the looks and interior too, I would get the 1.5 hdi diesel in automatic in flair plus trim with panoramic roof 👌👍
Disagree with your opinion of the drive. The car comes with a hydrocushion suspension which reduces all them bumps and pot holes on the road. Also you will find most upright vehicles such as SUVs to have less cornering capability than your standard HB. Ours is a comfortable, roomy SUV which sits our kids nicely in the back. Citroen are renowned for their comfort and the C5 aircross does disappoint. Welldone Citroen 😁
I've owned a 3008, I found the ride uncomfortable in urban settings, the 1.2 is sluggish pulling away unless you have sport mode selected, the MPG was nothing to brag about, apart from that I liked the car but swapped it for a smaller hybrid to get better mpg.
Have had both 3008 and C5 Aircross as rental and the C5 for me is the winner. Never been in a smoother riding car, made long journeys effortless and less tiring. The 3008 on the other hand felt unrefined and tinny. C5 interior felt more plush and larger.
in the aircross the seat backs also recline giving you more headroom if you think you need it, the front headrests slide backwards and forwards to. the seats are also amazingly comfortable more like armchairs than car seats. you shoulod never compare the ride quality between a peugeot \and a Citroen as the Citroen will always shine in comparison, this reviewer doesnt really like the Citroewn ride very much which is probably the best ride of any currently avaiable SUV in its class available today. for medical reasons I needed softer suspension and the Citroen won me over against many others out there. the infotainmen t screen is very responsive and adjusting the air-con on it is very easy to do whilst driving, the windscreen clearing fan is button controlled but they never tell you this in reviews only their opinion on what might be a bad thing, the 1500 1.5 diesel auto gives me btween 55 and 60 mpg and th4 flappy paddle gearshift is very handy when towing. The 8 speed auto box is a proper syncromesh gearbox unlike a lot of the competition which have dual dry clutches that wear out and need replacing and it has no dual mass flywheel another cumbersome lump of metal the manual versions carry around sapping fuel economny.
I agree,the C5 aircross looks much better inside and out in my opinion and I'd choose the 1.5 hdi diesel in automatic too, think it would suit this car better, I'd choose the flair plus trim level with panoramic sunroof, for me comfort, space and high driving position and good fuel economy matters most and the quirky looks of the C5 aircross are amazing, currently have a jeep renegade limited 1.6 diesel which had 4 months and love it and the quirky looks too, next car for me in 3 to 4 years will be a C5 aircross, be great for my camping trips and mountain biking 👌👍🏴
Funny how different we all are - I have driven ALOT of cars in the past years for my work, i rent a car for 4-6 days 2 times a month on average. Ive driven the C5 Aircross and the 3008, both diesel versions and PHEV and i must say that no way the 3008 is the winner here, the C5 Aircross has spirit and lots more comfort and cool features where the 3008 is just plain and boring... I would even say that the C5 Aircross is very very close to being as comfy and cool as the DS 7 Crossback which is an amazing car - both diesel and PHEV versions... the space difference in 3008 / C5 Aircross is so small its barely noticable, and the interiour of the 3008 aims more towards the mommy with kids rather then the C5 that aims more for comfort and being special..
I had citroen before and now I have peugeot 2008. I'm looking for new one in diesel. And honestly I don't know which one are better, citroen c5 aircross or peugeot 3008. I like comfort and smooth drive, especially on this horrible road here with plenty of holes. It's very difficult to choose which ones, especially when you will pay for them in the next 5 year's 🤔
@@Ts.Dotsov Rebecca is actually a pilot and does know her stuff. she just doesnt seem to like Citroens, at least to me thats the impression i get from her other videos
I have the new version C5. I am very impressed. There isn’t anything I don’t like about it. Apart from, if you have drinks in the holders they get in the way of the gear stick. I notice the Peugeot is the same. So I banned drinks in the car😅 Seriously nice car, smooth, quiet and comfortable. Loads of features too
@@ShaunRanger mine is the automatic, the missus wanted an automatic after years of driving manuals. It is indeed a niggle even with the automatic but much more minor than with the manual I suppose. With the automatic you just change to D and drive occasionally R to reverse and then you have the paddle shifter (which I never used). So you rarely hit any cups on the holder. The EAT8 gear box makes very smooth transitions never had a problem. Also, that cup test holds water (pun intended), if you really want to see how smooth and stable the suspension is. Liquids stay largely much undisturbed. It's no Hydropneumatic but we have gone way past that now.
And none of them has a good enough engine and the pick of the range is still the diesel. Why? Because the other choices are either a 1.2l 3 cylinder or plug-in hybrids and not everyone has a place to recharge the batteries
I have the Peugeot 3008 and would say if the factory would work out how to repair the electronics it would be a great car. I say this from experience as i have been waiting 8 months for the electrical fault to be repaired. If you look up the forums you will find the mood lighting has been a problem for the past 5 years . When the car is parked and locked the lights will come on at random intervals. My car is a 2022 model and if this is not fixed bear in mind you have electronic steering, Brakes etc which are all controlled by the same module. I would assume but can not guarantee that this module is fitted to all Stellantis owned brands so with this in mind i can not recommend either of these vehicles at this time.
Will not trust any French car after owning one n it had given problems after problems from the 1st year of ownership. If u own one now, use it while it's under warranty. Do consider letting it go nearing or after end of warranty. Good luck!
I have 3008 1.2 allure its comfortable drives well good on fuel.i cockpit is great my mate has a £60.000 audi and the tech isnt as good as ehats in my 3008.
How long have you had them for? Any issues which have cropped up? I'm thinking if getting a second hand one and have only had fords. I've tended to avoid french cars because of a perception of unreliability. I think it's probably unjustified tbh though...
Peugeot cars are just formidable. They have levelled up big time, those last 10 years. Peugeot now is considered as mid premium in continental Europe, and they are moving fast to become upmarket, and I am sure they will make it. Top quality cars, on same level as German cars, and they cost less money.
Stellantis needs to sort out it's quality issues, it's currently paying out loads to replace failed Purecrap wet timing belts, complete engines & also the adblue tanks on HDI equipped vehicles.
@@leepower2717 Peugeot ranks really well in terms of quality. Been driving a Peugeot 3008 since 2016, still not a single technical issue. Quality issues ? It's only in your head, mate. You just don't like French cars, that's it, so you are up to post rubbish about them.
@@garnray8568 - I've owned in order, Peugeot 405 - 2 years, 406 - 6 months, 405 - 5 years, 206 - 13 years & 308 - 4 years that was fitted with the wonderful Purecrap 130 engine. Peugeot UK " lack of " customer service to known design faults with there multiple award winning Purecrap engine was the end of my loyalty to buying Peugeot products & anything else from the Stellantis group.
@@leepower2717 it was a long time ago. Peugeot has really changed a lot, for the best. It takes some intellectual honesty to admit it. It's no longer the 90's... It's 2022.
I'm ready to order my 3rd 3008 , I absolutely love them, and will definitely be going for the hybrid.. I can't fault the icockpit, everything is within easy access and both practical and beautiful, the small steering wheel may seem odd to some, but it is both functional and comfortable, especially on long journeys.. The C cross in comparison desperately needs a serious face lift and tech upgrade both interior and exterior.. to say they are from the same company, they couldn't be more different.
one advice for you lady , stop doing reviews , literary 3008 is 3/10 vs a c5 aircross in the ride quality comparison " acoustic cabin , advanced comfort suspensions , better seats , more space . you don't by a c5 to play around corners drifting , it was made for one purpose COMFORT and family pick-ups , 3008 is made for a sporty ride and looks , nothing get closer to a c5 , unless you spend a lot of money in a luxury car .
Rebecca : The steering wheel is set at a safety placing, as what happens when you are hit or you hit another vehicle in a head on? The air bag explodes outward and the closer you are to it, the more damage your body and face takes. Oh No Rebecca with Airbag dust irritation !!
Nice looking cars let down by poorly designed engines, so so reliability and average at best customer service. A Honda CRV is a better long term bet due to superior engineering.
The new C5 has to be considered as a primary choice i have this car now and it’s totally awesome car and more comfortable& realistic compared with 3008
I wouldn't have either.. just more vehicles with no styling whatsoever...very ordinary & nothing that stands out from an overcrowded market of similar I'm afraid 😨
There are so many of these running around in France that you'll have nothing special as every 30 seconds you'll see another one.. And a Citroen will poor ride quality? Great ride quality and French quirkiness was always their trademark.. DS, C6.... Nobody needs a car with stupid big holes on either side...

Citroen is so much more comfortable and the three rear seats (having three kids), is the deal maker for me.
In what way is it more comfortable?

I’ve just taken delivery of a DS7 PHEV, which for me is a step up from the 3008 and C5.
It's not so confortable as the C5.
Overpriced. C5 have one of the best suspension in thies suv group. Same as range rover. Better choice in that price range is lexus
and a step up in price, of course
C5 and 3008 arent kn the same level. 3008 is more premium...In fact first is the ds7, then 3008 and then c5 /grandland

3008 is the better but, the new Grandland now beats it due to keeping all the toys Peugeot no longer provide as standard.
a great video as always!
I don’t know about the cars, but she’s lovely!
I have 3008 1.2 allure its comfortable drives well good on fuel.i cockpit is great my mate has a £60.000 audi and the tech isnt as good as ehats in my 3008.
On my 4th 3008 - absolutely love them. You won’t get better in the class
How long have you had them for? Any issues which have cropped up? I'm thinking if getting a second hand one and have only had fords. I've tended to avoid french cars because of a perception of unreliability. I think it's probably unjustified tbh though...
Lol why 4?
Peugeot cars are just formidable. They have levelled up big time, those last 10 years. Peugeot now is considered as mid premium in continental Europe, and they are moving fast to become upmarket, and I am sure they will make it.
Top quality cars, on same level as German cars, and they cost less money.
Better quality than German cars!! Germans are just good at making you think they’re good quality 🙄
Stellantis needs to sort out it's quality issues, it's currently paying out loads to replace failed Purecrap wet timing belts, complete engines & also the adblue tanks on HDI equipped vehicles.
@@leepower2717 Peugeot ranks really well in terms of quality. Been driving a Peugeot 3008 since 2016, still not a single technical issue. Quality issues ? It's only in your head, mate. You just don't like French cars, that's it, so you are up to post rubbish about them.
@@garnray8568 - I've owned in order, Peugeot 405 - 2 years, 406 - 6 months, 405 - 5 years, 206 - 13 years & 308 - 4 years that was fitted with the wonderful Purecrap 130 engine. Peugeot UK " lack of " customer service to known design faults with there multiple award winning Purecrap engine was the end of my loyalty to buying Peugeot products & anything else from the Stellantis group.
@@leepower2717 it was a long time ago. Peugeot has really changed a lot, for the best. It takes some intellectual honesty to admit it. It's no longer the 90's... It's 2022.
I'm ready to order my 3rd 3008 , I absolutely love them, and will definitely be going for the hybrid.. I can't fault the icockpit, everything is within easy access and both practical and beautiful, the small steering wheel may seem odd to some, but it is both functional and comfortable, especially on long journeys..
The C cross in comparison desperately needs a serious face lift and tech upgrade both interior and exterior.. to say they are from the same company, they couldn't be more different.
one advice for you lady , stop doing reviews , literary 3008 is 3/10 vs a c5 aircross in the ride quality comparison " acoustic cabin , advanced comfort suspensions , better seats , more space . you don't by a c5 to play around corners drifting , it was made for one purpose COMFORT and family pick-ups , 3008 is made for a sporty ride and looks , nothing get closer to a c5 , unless you spend a lot of money in a luxury car .
Only a "car reviewer" can put sportiness over comfort on a family car!
You forgot to include Opel/Vauxhall in here
I believe they can not be compared in terms of technology of the cars. Vauxhall has way less technology on board and more cheap finishing inside
Team Citroen 💪
Xantia vs 405 . Both far better . Owned both .
The spagetti western music is very apt ..........why does the Citroen have styrups on the bottom of the front doors . ??
And a dirty seat 3:13
So which one of the two is the shepherd's pie?
Peugeot 3008!!! The best!
It kinda felt it was biased opinion with regards to Peugeot but its perspective of each one
I do prefere the C5!
Peugeot extremely and superb comfort driving
Heavy boat with a hybrid and still terrible MPG, so much for progress.. Bring back Diesel.
women this beautiful should not review cars, I spent the whole video watching her and cannot tell you one thing about this car
Rebecca many kisses from Greece🥰🥰
If it was me I'd have the Peugeot but in terms of power train I'd have neither petrol not hybrid I'd have the diesel as I do alot of motorway driving.
İ think C5 aircross the best
I have a C5 V6 2010 dieselwith almost everything you mentioned and 2 turboeffects at 100 and 145 km/h.
Rebecca : The steering wheel is set at a safety placing, as what happens when you are hit or you hit another vehicle in a head on? The air bag explodes outward and the closer you are to it, the more damage your body and face takes. Oh No Rebecca with Airbag dust irritation !!
Nice looking cars let down by poorly designed engines, so so reliability and average at best customer service. A Honda CRV is a better long term bet due to superior engineering.
The Puretech engines, particularly the 1.2 PureTech 130 are actually considered very reliable power units in the industry.
The later ones are. The earlier ones had timing chain issues and oil leak problems.@@HologramJones
My choice is the C5
And the Vauxhall Grandland?
By the sounds of it you prefer the 10 inch over the 8 inch
I see what you did there... But you'll never find out....
@@newbeginnings8566 😂
Are you implying she likes big penises Jon?. That’s very funny.🥴
between the 2 I prefer the Citroen, more compact and sporty at the same time, then the steering wheel of the Peugeot is too small and horrible
Citroen has a habit of making a facelift uglier than the original one.
..both C4 cactus and C5 aircross seem to me much better in their first version.
i love 3008!!
Au contraire, the Citroen is very fuel efficient, 5,5 l, and very comfy.
I like lamb..🤪
Exterior Peugeot, interior Citroen.
Hola desde Lima Perú San Borja norte yo al citroen C5 haicross
3008 is more beautifull for me.and citroen is not bad
The reviewer likes the Peugeot but I like the Citroen, what shall I do?
The new C5 has to be considered as a primary choice i have this car now and it’s totally awesome car and more comfortable& realistic compared with 3008
@@mohamedsamy-xe8cc I agree with you.
I like shepherd's pie better
C5 AC🎉
I like the design of the 3008 a lot more and the interior of the peugeot feels much more premium
very biased review 👎 rebecca shouldn't be doing citroen reviews, seeing as she seems to hate them for no reason 🤨
Their ice cars!!! flavours? their both crap and will be scap metal in 3 years you won't be able to give them away with a packet of crisps
Not “like for like” comprehension!
Hmm Shepards Pie
I wouldn't have either.. just more vehicles with no styling whatsoever...very ordinary & nothing that stands out from an overcrowded market of similar I'm afraid 😨
Citroen's new Front and black Chevron 🤦♂️😢
And the Vauxhall grand land too
Food for thought
Sorry, but i have the idea that you just don't like Citroën.

There are so many of these running around in France that you'll have nothing special as every 30 seconds you'll see another one..
And a Citroen will poor ride quality? Great ride quality and French quirkiness was always their trademark.. DS, C6.... Nobody needs a car with stupid big holes on either side...
Simply gorgeous! Uhhh, the cars I mean...Lol!!!!!
This seems like an unfair comparison (without even watching the video)
Both SUVs both useless no matter the brand (outside stellanti too).
French Crossovers 🤮🤮
