New Peugeots on show at National Ploughing Championship

PEUGEOT Importers Gowan Distributors will unveil a trio of new models at the National Ploughing Championships, at Screggan, Tullamore. With over 300,000 visitors expected at the show, the radical new Peugeot 508, rugged Rifter MPV and the eagerly-awaited new Partner van will each make their Irish debut on the Peugeot stand.

Colin Sheridan of Gowan Distributors said: ‘Peugeot has seen a 46% increase in new car registrations with our van range maintaining a top five position. The National Ploughing Championships prove every year to be the perfect platform to launch new models, and we anticipate strong attendance on the Peugeot stand.’

The radical new Peugeot 508’s exterior design is sharper and sleeker than that of its predecessor, while the car’s spectacular interior boasts the latest generation of the iconic Peugeot i- Cockpit. Highly favourable press reviews have already signalled exemplary road-handling, high performance new petrol and diesel engines, countless technology features and a quantum leap in quality. Initial units of the new 508 will arrive in Dealerships in late 2018, with an official launch anticipated in early 2019.
