Peugeot’s rich car-building heritage stretches back to 1882, where it can be credited as one of the founding members of Europe’s motoring boom through creating a three-wheeled steam-powered car. The brand’s roots stretch back even further, with Peugeot being founded in 1810 as a producer of coffee, pepper and salt grinders. Fast-forward to the present day and the French manufacturer is one of the most respected names in the auto industry, with a reputation for creating award-winning SUVs, captivating city cars and versatile hatchbacks.
A modern French design with sweeping aerodynamic curves shapes every Peugeot, while the classy interiors place each model a cut above the rest. Sitting perfectly in the middle of luxurious manufacturers and budget brands, Peugeot imbues every model with flamboyant design touches and driver-oriented interiors, with range-topping tech, including the new Peugeot i-Cockpit and Mirror Screen.
Among the most notable tech-wise is Peugeot’s Connect SOS and Assistance, which utilises an in-built SIM card, phone and Connect navigation positioning system to keep drivers safe in the case of an accident. If the airbags are inflated or seat belt pre-tensioners activated, an automatic message will be sent to the emergency services, with details of the car’s location.
Such safety is paramount across the range, from the irresistible 208 city car to the 5008 SUV. Available as a sizable seven-seater, the 5008 can be easily configured to accommodate a family and makes the most of a host of intelligent features like the Connected 3D Navigation system. Safety features include active city brake that helps avoid low-speed accidents and speed limit recognition that allows drivers to adapt their speed on a particular road via the vehicle’s cruise control stalk.
Despite being a mid-range manufacturer, Peugeot’s models are comfortable, reliable and efficient, as well as being highly customisable. Each offering is available in a range of trims and is open to various option packs to provide a personalised driving experience, with the rampant lion badge increasingly associated with economy and low-cost comfort. The engine range caters for almost every taste, with the brand recently making the foray into all-electric cars with the e-208.
