The New PEUGEOT 208 named “Car of the Year 2020”
The New #Peugeot #208 was named the 2020 Car of the Year on Monday, 2nd March in Geneva, by a panel of judges made up of 60 European #automotive journalists. The panel acclaimed its engine range: electric, petrol or diesel powertrains provide customers with “the power of choice”. The jury also appreciated the bold design and technology of the New #Peugeot #208. Already a best-seller, it is also the first #Peugeot “2 series” to be awarded this most prestigious prize. Furthermore, the new #Peugeot #208 is the sixth #Peugeot to be named “Car of the Year”.
Car of the Year 2020, the new #Peugeot #208 rewrites the book in the B segment. Available with either an Electric engine or an Internal Combustion engine, the New #Peugeot #208 provides the power of choice to its future driver. Its exterior design embodies the DNA of the Brand with the 3-claw LED front headlights. The carved wheel arches and rear wings are a nod to the « Sacred number ». The #Peugeot i-Cockpit ® (head-up display, compact steering wheel and touchscreen) innovates with a 3D digital cluster, which is not only aesthetic but also improves safety.
The COTY 2020 rewards a Bestseller. Nearly 110,000 customers have ordered the new #Peugeot #208 since its launch in Europe in October. 15% of the mix are electric versions. In France, the New #Peugeot #208 leads the registration rankings of the PC market at the end of February 2020.
“I am particularly proud that the New #Peugeot #208 has just won the 2020 Car of the Year prize. This trophy underlines the excellence of the work and great commitment of all the teams of the Brand and the Groupe PSA. It’s the first time that a #Peugeot “2 series” has triumphed! By the way, three #Peugeot “Cars of the Year” are currently on road with the 3008 and the 308 alongside the new #208. The COTY 2020 legitimates the Brand’s “power of choice” strategy. From now on, our customers will be able to choose between the electric #Peugeot e-208 “Car of the Year” and the (ICE) #Peugeot #208 “Car of the Year”! Jean-Philippe IMPARATO, #Peugeot Brand CEO.
PEUGEOT enters the “top 3” of the brands with the most awards in the Car of the Year history, with six trophies. The New #Peugeot #208, named #caroftheyear2020, follows the SUV 3008 in 2017, the compact hatch 308 in 2014, the 307 in 2002, the 405 in 1988 and the 504 in 1969. This prestigious trophy joins the twelve other international awards the New #Peugeot #208 has already won.
The Car of the Year award is the most coveted. The panel of judges comprises 60 #automotive experts journalists from 23 European countries. Founded in 1964, the award is the longest-running and most renowned European prize. The winner is announced every year at the Geneva International Motor Show.
