Peugeot 208 is European Car of Year

Peugeot’s 208 has been named 2020 European Car of the Year by a panel of 60 motoring journalists.

It’s the sixth time a Peugeot has won the award. Peugeot’s previous winners were: the 504 sedan (1969), 405 sedan (1988), 307 (2002) and 308 (2014) hatchbacks, and the 3008 SUV in 2017. The 3008 was the first-ever SUV to win the award.

This year’s winner is available in petrol, diesel and electric versions.

“The all-new Peugeot 208 won because it offers the power to choose between its electric and combustion engines at an affordable price,” says Peugeot brand CEO Jean-Philippe Imparato.

“Peugeot has won three COTY awards in the past six years alone, which is a first for a single brand. We now have three Peugeots designated “Car Of The Year” in the showrooms: the all-new 208, the 3008 SUV and the 308.”
