PEUGEOT 4008 – 2017-2019

  By ,

The Peugeot 4008 is a compact SUV and was the French marque’s first entrant in this segment when it was launched in Australia in June 2012. It appeals to those who want a vehicle that’s European rather than Asian. However, it’s a joint venture between Peugeot and Mitsubishi and is made in a Japanese factory Peugeot 4008 and Mitsubishi ASX have quite a different appearance. The roofs and doors are the same in both vehicles, but other panels are different and there’s certainly French flair in the Peugeot. Interior space… Read more

PEUGEOT 203

  By ,

During World War II Peugeot had been planning a new post-war model, and was able to introduce the new 203 as early as the autumn of 1947. It was a sensationally modern car with a streamlined unitary body and a new four-cylinder 1290 cc engine. Although it would continue to be manufactured for many more years, its replacement had already appeared in 1955: the Peugeot 403. After sampling such unusually heady vintages you might think that the postwar 203 would seem distinctly vin ordinaire. Not so! While it is undoubtedly… Read more

PEUGEOT 202

  By ,

In 1929 Peugeot introduced the nomenclature comprising a three-digit number with a central 0, rather than using a name when they launched the 201. In this trademark registered numbering system all numbers between 101 and 909 are covered with the first number representing the size of the car and the last number indicating its chronological position. You can imagine the red faces at Porsche when they applied to register their model 901 in 1963 and had to make a quick change and call it model 911. Although the Peugeot 202… Read more

PEUGEOT 404

  By ,

The Peugeot 404 followed on from the popular 403. It was sold with a number of different bodies – four-door sedan, two-door coupe, two-door convertible, two different five-door wagon versions, a utility and a light truck. With a body by Pininfarina, the result of a partnership that began back in the 1950s, the 404 along with the 403, 504, 104 and 406 were considered to be among Peugeot’s most beautiful cars. Popular as a taxi, the 404 enjoyed a fine reputation for both durability and value. With a wheelbase of… Read more

PEUGEOT 205GTI

  By ,

With the introduction of the 205 Peugeot set itself the challenge of producing from scratch a small hatchback which would stand out in a crowd. Not only did they achieve this but they created one with such street cred that it became a cult car almost overnight. Such an achievement was quite remarkable. Introduced in 1983, a total of 2.74 million cars were produced during its production life. Most remarkable of all is that it was Peugeot that achieved this, not Volkswagen or arch rival Renault. Suddenly, it seemed, Peugeot… Read more
