When it comes to stylish and reliable vehicles, Peugeot is one of the best brands in the market. Founded all the way back in 1810, the French manufacturer originally started out creating coffee mills and bicycles. It wasn’t until 1889 that their first car was released and they’ve never looked back since.
Nowadays, countless models of Peugeot cars are available, which make it difficult to know which one is best for you. Here, we’ll take a look at some of the most popular models on the market that helped define the brand and what makes them so memorable.
208 Hatchback
The Peugeot 208 is one of the best-selling cars in the whole of Europe, supplying all necessities but at a budget-friendly price. Not only is the model elegant in design, but it also comes with a high Euro NCAP safety rating of four stars.
The 208 also offers great reliability, so running miles isn’t an issue. It even comes with tire pressure monitors to ensure your car is always fit for the road. Although, you should still make it good practice to take your car for a Peugeot service near you each year.
Newer models are packed full of built-in technology. These include a touchscreen, reversing cameras, park assist and smartphone technology. Overall, this is a great car for any driver and definitely one of the best in the range of models to consider.
307 CC Convertible
Introduced as part of the 307 line-up in 2003, the 307 CC is a budget-friendly cabriolet. With low-height seats and racy features, it offers drivers a sporty experience at a great value. Unlike other convertibles, its rear seats are fully useable, providing sufficient legroom for any individual.
Standard features include a solid roof that can open within 25 seconds, electric windows, cruise control and a controlled central locking system. The 307 CC also includes safety features such as side airbags, stability control and pop-up roll-over bars.
2008 SUV
The 2008 is a subcompact crossover first unveiled in 2008, with a second-generation model being released in 2019. The original has a well-designed interior, with enough support and height in the seats to give it that authentic SUV experience.
The higher driving position provides its drivers with good visibility of the road and can fit even the tallest of occupants. The rear seats offer plenty of space to passengers and can also be folded down to provide additional boot space of up to 434 litres.
Peugeot iOn
No review list would be complete without the inclusion of an electric model. The iOn from Peugeot has been well-received, particularly for those who are looking for a more environmentally-friendly alternative on the market.The iOn is perfect for driving on city roads and can cover a great range of around 55 miles on a single charge. Fully charging the iOn takes around 5 hours, costing as little as £2 per charge. This makes it a great substitute for fuel-powered vehicles, especially for those simply looking to get around the city.
