Peugeot 107 facelift (2012)

Peugeot has revealed a facelift for the 107, with new exterior styling, increased specification and reduced Co2.  The Peugeot 107 is a fun little city car, as we discovered when we reviewed the Peugeot 107 in 2010,  but it’s now getting towards the end of its life, with an all new car due in 2013.

Peugeot 3008 HYbrid4

It’s been confirmed that diesel hybrid cars will not suffer the 3% BIK penalty for company car drivers – good news for Volvo, Citroen & Peugeot. As a company car driver the Inland Revenue gets its cut no matter what. With BIK rates set based on CO2 emissions and list price, it’s hard to find [...]

Peugeot HX1 to go in to production as Peugeot 608?

Peugeot HX1 608

The very good looking Peugeot HX1 Concept we saw at the Frankfurt Motor Show looks like it could make production as the Peugeot 608. Big Peugeots have never really sold anywhere but France. So it seemed sensible when Peugeot revealed that the 407 and 607 would be replaced by the 508. But it looks as though Peugeot [...]

We weren’t expecting the Peugeot 4008 yet – built with the help of the Mitsubishi ASX – but it’s revealed ahead of a launch at Geneva 2012.

Peugeot will début the HX1 Concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, a low-riding, 6-seat MPV of the future.

Peugeot SXC Crossover: WON’T get HYbrid4 & probably won’t be built either.

Cars UK has discovered that the Peugeot SXC Concept is unlikely to be produced, and if it is it will NOT get the HYbrid4 powertrain. In the last year we’ve probably done at least ten Peugeot Reviews. And we really haven’t found anything much to moan about. We rate the Peugeot 5008 as about the [...]

Peugeot-HR1-FT

We have spy photos of what appears to be an Allroad version of the new Peugeot 508 SW (Estate). Perhaps even running Peugeot’s Hybrid4 setup.

Peugeot RCZ: Gay Car of the Year 2011

The readers of Ledorga – a site for gay vintage car enthusiasts from all over Europe – has voted the Peugeot RCZ Gay Car of the Year 2011. We don’t think the implication is that this award is for the car which is most gay, rather the car the gay community voted as their Car [...]

The Peugeot 3008 ENVY

Peugeot has released a couple of limited edition 3008s – the Peugeot 3008 SR and Peugeot 3008 ENVY Special Editions Car makers have become obsessed with crossovers.

Peugeot has released the Peugeot 207 Sportium, a limited edition 207 hatch with extra kit, 3 or 5 doors and a choice of petrol or diesel lumps.

BMW to develop small hybrid with Peugeot Citroen

BMW PSA Hybrid-

BMW and Peugeot Citroen (PSA) have entered in to a joint arrangement to produce a front wheel drive hybrid powertrain and components.

Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4 NOT going to China

It looks as if the Peugeot 3008 Hybrid – and future Peugeot Hybrid4 cars – will not be sold in China because of intellectual property rights. On the whole, we’re not huge fans of hybrids. At least not the sort of boring hybrid Toyota has infected the car world with. But Peugeot do seem to [...]
