Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · I facelift (2022+, Hybrid 136)

Citroën C5 Aircross

Compact to mid-size SUV on the Stellantis EMP2 platform. The Hybrid 136 combines a 1.2 three-cylinder turbo with a 48V mild-hybrid system; WLTP around 5.7 l/100km (manufacturer figure, indicative). Boot 580 l with five seats. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator for the current figure per version.

Profile · I (P54, 2022+, Hybrid 225 e-EAT8)

Peugeot 408

Crossover fastback on the EMP2 platform, technically related to the 308. The Hybrid 225 is a plug-in hybrid with a 12.4 kWh pack and about 64 km WLTP electric range (manufacturer figure, indicative). The WLTP consumption of around 1.2 l/100km applies only with a full battery; with an empty battery the 408 drives as a 1.6 turbo petrol carrying battery weight, closer to 6.4 l/100km. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator.
