										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>5008 GT Premium &#8211; In my search for the best new mum cars, this week im driving the Peugeot 5008 GT Premium Hybrid. This is a seven seat SUV.</strong></p>
<p><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5224" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-PREMIUM-HYBRID-SUV-3.jpg" alt="Peugeot 5008 GT PREMIUM HYBRID SUV 3" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-PREMIUM-HYBRID-SUV-3.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-PREMIUM-HYBRID-SUV-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-PREMIUM-HYBRID-SUV-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-PREMIUM-HYBRID-SUV-3-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" />Peugeot always make stylish cars and the 5008 is no exception.</p>
<p>It comes in two models the Allure and top spec GT Premium, which I drove.</p>
<p>The Allure comes well equipped. However, the GT Premium has all the little extra luxuries like</p>
<ul>
<li>Leather interior</li>
<li>Front seats with heating, ventilation and 10 way electric adjustment</li>
<li>Rear outer seats have heating as well.</li>
<li>There is a panoramic sunroof.</li>
</ul>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5227" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-Premium-Hybrid-baby-seat-2.jpg" alt="Peugeot 5008 GT Premium Hybrid baby seat 2" width="1536" height="1024" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-Premium-Hybrid-baby-seat-2.jpg 1536w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-Premium-Hybrid-baby-seat-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-Premium-Hybrid-baby-seat-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Peugeot-5008-GT-Premium-Hybrid-baby-seat-2-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px" /></p>
<p>Two practical luxuries that I absolutely love are</p>
<ul>
<li>the multi point massage function for the front seats and</li>
<li>The hands free electric tailgate with foot sensor opening</li>
</ul>
<p>Perfect for when you have your arms full and need the boot opened. Every mum will appreciate these two.</p>
<p>Fitting the baby seat is easy with two isofix and top tether points. The rear door opens wide enough for comfortable access.</p>
<p>Rear seat room is a little cramped and the front passenger seat has to move forward a touch. I can sit in the back with bub, but it’s tight.</p>
<p>Boot space is also tight. The pram and carrier take up most of the room. There would be more room if it was a five seat version.</p>
<p>Next week we will chat about safety</p>
<p>This is a Motoring Minute</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Subaru Forester &#8211; This week in my ongoing quest to find the best new mum car we look at the recently updated Subaru Forester.</strong>   <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5114" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Forester-AWD-Touring_4.jpg" alt="Forester AWD Touring_4" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Forester-AWD-Touring_4.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Forester-AWD-Touring_4-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Forester-AWD-Touring_4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Forester-AWD-Touring_4-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" />This five seat, medium sized SUV had a lot of improvements earlier this year and added a full hybrid motor to the line-up.</p>
<p>There are seven models for families to choose from. From the entry level AWD version through to the top spec Hybrid Touring.</p>
<p>All models continue with Subarus brilliant All Wheel System. There is a choice of petrol boxer and a petrol hybrid boxer engine. The transmission changes depending on what engine you choose.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5112" src="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Forester-hybrid-engine.jpg" alt="2025 Forester hybrid engine" width="1500" height="1000" srcset="https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Forester-hybrid-engine.jpg 1500w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Forester-hybrid-engine-300x200.jpg 300w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Forester-hybrid-engine-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https://motoringminute.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/2025-Forester-hybrid-engine-768x512.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></p>
<p>The latest models come with the large vertical central screen that mirrors a smart phone screen. It has excellent clarity and touch sensitivity. To add to that all models come with wireless smart phone connectivity.</p>
<p>All models come with two isofix child restraint points and three top tether points.</p>
<p>The baby seats fits easily. And as always, we slide the front seat back until it touches the baby seat for some extra stability. This leaves enough room in the front seat for all but the tallest people.</p>
<p>I found the rear seat has enough room for me to sit comfortably next to bub if needed.</p>
<p>Boot space will accommodate the pram, bassinet and all the gear needed. But that almost fills it.</p>
<p>Pricing is from $43,490 through to $55,990 plus the usual added costs.</p>
<p>This is a Motoring Minute</p>

I drove the Nissan X-Trail e-power last week. This hybrid drives more like an EV as the petrol engine is designed to charge the battery and only kick in when necessary.</p>
<p>I had the Ti X-Trail. This is a high spec model that is well equipped and comfortable. It comes with</p>
<ul>
<li>E-4orce all-wheel drive,</li>
<li>Panoramic sunroof,</li>
<li>motion activated tailgate, and</li>
<li>19-inch alloy wheels amongst other features.</li>
</ul>

<p>The X-Trail is smooth and quiet to drive. It has a 1.5 litre three-cylinder petrol engine combined with an electric motor that turns the wheels. Its economical and my fuel use was around 7.0 litres per 100 kilometres. That’s not bad.</p>
<p>The five seat X-Trail is also a decent size for a family and comes with two isofix points and top tether points for a baby seat. The boot is large enough to hold the baby stroller and more as well.</p>
<p>Priced from around $55,500 plus the usual costs there are driveaway deals at local dealers so have a chat to them.</p>
<p>This is a Motoring Minute</p>
