The replacement for the Peugeot 308 was released in Europe last year and is also called the Peugeot 308. This blatant break with naming tradition is all something to do with the French company’s new naming convention that is quite complicated and has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact that Peugeot was running out […]

The 508 has been around since 2010, when it was introduced to replace both the smaller 407 and the larger 607 and has struggled to make much of an impact in the local medium sedan/wagon segment. This is disappointing – as it is a very good car that deserves better – and yet not unexpected, as […]
We are currently in France on a Peugeot launch (and to attend the Paris Motor Show) and today we were lucky enough to have a guided tour of the Musee de l’Aventure Peugeot (Peugeot museum) in Sochaux. While it was full of utterly fantastic cars (and tools, weapons, coffee grinders, bicycles, bombs, sewing machines, kitchen appliances […]
Hybrids. They’re the future, buddy. Except they’re not. A feel-good stop-gap between internal combustion and true emission-free motoring, to be sure, but hardly the long-term future. But as a short-term solution, the diesel-hybrid goodness of the Peugeot 3008 HY4 is about as good – and certainly as quirky – as they come. Forget all this […]
Let’s be honest here; since the original genre-defining 205 GTi, most of the Peugeots that have worn the hallowed Hot Hatch GTi badge have fallen well short of deserving it. That is not to say that Peugeot haven’t built cars worthy of wearing the GTi badge, because they most certainly have – the 306 S16 […]
So what makes a vehicle a “Crossover”? Well, apparently “because we say it is” is enough these days. Traditionally accepted thinking on the subject would suggest that a “Crossover” would generally be based on a car platform, with attributes that put a foot in the SUV and People mover camps, such as a high ride […]
Yesterday we bought you the new Peugeot/Red Bull TVC, today we have an equally brilliant “behind the scenes” look at how the commercial was made. Check it out below!
Peugeot NZ has teamed up with Red Bull and 19-year old BMX rider Jaden Leeming in a collaborative marketing campaign that has resulted in one hell of a video… The 90 second clip, that features the 19-year old Leeming facing off against the new Peugeot 208 GTI in a series of increasingly spectacular stunts, will […]
Small Peugeots have always needed to be driven like you are late for your mid-afternoon coffee in central Paris to get the best out of them. We head off to the launch of the new 208 to see if that still applies. What is it? The littlest Peugeot has had a chequered recent history since […]
Let me get this straight first; almost every single car in this list IS actually awesome. Hell, I’ve personally owned three of them! (No, I am not telling you which three…) Yet none of them really deserve the blind reverence that has be lavished upon them since their launch. Especially the Hummer, which is just […]
