PEUGEOT SHINES IN THE DIESEL CAR & ECO CAR TOP 50
13 July 2020
PEUGEOT models have scored several wins at the Diesel Car & Eco Car Top 50 awards, with the all-new 2008 SUV named ‘Best Compact SUV’ and the all-new e-2008 SUV named ‘Best Compact Electric Car’, while the PEUGEOT Rifter was awarded the ‘Best Utility Vehicle’. PEUGEOT models, including the 3008 SUV, 5008 SUV and 508 also featured in the Top 50 list of best vehicles currently on the market.
Five of PEUGEOT’s latest models have been listed in the Diesel Car & Eco Car Top 50 awards. The all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV was crowned winner of the Compact SUV category, with its fully electric variant winning the Compact Electric Car category, and ranked 13th overall in the Top 50 standings.
Ian Robertson, Editor and Publisher of Diesel Car & Eco Car, said: “The second-generation PEUGEOT 2008 SUV has undergone a complete transformation, trading in its soft lines for a chiselled baby-3008 SUV design. Powered by a range of traditional petrol and diesel engines, the arrival of the e-2008 SUV is ground-breaking in the baby SUV sector, meaning that buyers can choose an all-electric version for the first time.”
The PEUGEOT Rifter was awarded the Best Utility Vehicle by Diesel Car & Eco Car, with the magazine praising its practicality and capability. Robertson said: “If the term ‘lifestyle vehicle’ fills you with horror, look no further than the PEUGEOT Rifter. Five-seat models feature the standard wheelbase, while seven-seat editions gain a longer wheelbase. Choose the latter option and there’s a staggering 4,000 litres of load space with all seats folded down.”
Diesel Car & Eco Car ranked the PEUGEOT 3008 SUV sixth in its Top 50 rankings, praising the SUV for its “eye-catching” looks and efficient line-up of diesel engines. PEUGEOT’s i-Cockpit® also earned praise from the judging panel thanks to its compact dimensions and the incorporation of a digital instrument panel.
The 5008 SUV and 508 were also ranked 41st and 33rd by Diesel Car & Eco Car in their annual ranking. Both vehicles impressed the judges with their line-up of efficient diesel engines, as well as stylish interiors featuring the latest in technology and driver assistance features and the availability of plug-in powertrains on the 508 and 508 SW.
