Thoughts are now turning to the Qashqai, will go get a test drive in a week or two.
Or the Tiguan
I've never driven a Kia Sportage so can't contribute to that aspect of the conversation.
I had two Peugeot 3008 over six years, the model previous to the current one. When it was time replace the second Peugeot we opted for a Qashqai which I drove for a year before retirement.
At no point in seven years, for business or personal use, did I find there wasn't enough room in either vehicle. The only exception being when I travelled to trade exhibitions and needed a rack for the bike.
I seem to recall the wheel arches on the Peugeot protruding inside more than on the Qashqai.
Both are very good cars and I would marginally come down on the side of the Qashqai if I had to make a choice. I was though driving the latest version of the Qashqai against a Peugeot which was ready for an update.
Qashqai gives a lot of bling for your money. Lots of tech to play with - some of it so irritating I turned it off!!!
