Bold stylingLots of space£234 a monthPeugeot went big on the latest 5008 - not just in terms of style (which it has in abundance), but gadgetry and size, too.

For instance, you could have an excellent sports car, an electric car and a family SUV all on your drive - all from Nissan. First up, let’s start with the fun one - the Nissan 370Z – although this is no ordinary 370Z, because it’s the Nismo version.

We last saw the XC70 name on the back of a Volvo in 2016, but now the Swedish firm has given us a teaser of the badge’s return – on an SUV. The new Volvo XC70 is expected to be launched in the coming months, but initially at least it’ll be limited to the Chinese market. A Volvo spokesperson told Auto Express that "there are no current plans to sell the XC70 in the UK market”.

Started giving thumbs up to people driving interesting cars. Tonight’s recipient was someone in a Mitsubishi Eclipse (the convertible one from 2 Fast 2 Furious that no one liked). https://t.co/AAYwH6s436
