Peugeot 5008, kei cars, Jeep Avenger

Your fortnightly meeting, “La Quinzaine de l’AJ”, is back for a the third part.

As usual in the program of this fortnight, the editor-in-chief of L’Auto-JournalJean-Eric Raoulreviews recent automotive news in three stages: discovery of a new model followed by a social study and an essay found in a newspaper.

AJ fortnight: the new Peugeot 5008

To begin with, the editor-in-chief returns to the presentation of the new Peugeot 5008 which changes completely compared to the previous model. In addition to the growth problem compared to the old 5008 (+15 cm), the newcomer also differs greatly from the 3008 in appearance.
Technology is also advancing with five versions available, including three 100% electric variants. A large battery allows the French to travel up to 660 kilometers on a single charge. But does housing these batteries come at the cost of housing? Video response!

AJ Two weeks: small cars

We continue with the lesson to reflect on the size of our cars. Renault CEO Luca de Meo notes the explosion in the number and price of cars since the 1990s caused by the strengthening of environmental and safety standards.
In an open letter sent to candidates for the European Parliament, he advocates the creation of partnerships between different European manufacturers to build low-cost cars on the Old Continent. Will the arrival of small cars like the Japanese Kei Cars become a reality in Europe? We tell you everything!

La Quinzaine de l’AJ: experience with the Jeep Avenger hybrid

Finally, we return to the Jeep Avenger e-Hybrid test. Priced at €7,700 less while offering more utility, this hybrid version is initially very attractive.
A small electromotor implanted in its dual-clutch gearbox allows it to travel short distances in electric mode. The light, 100 hp small SUV is also more pleasant to drive. Equipped with these accessories, would this hybrid Avenger be the best in the series? Our video review!
