Reen’s Rathmore launches trio of major new models for 191
Reen’s Rathmore, Main Peugeot Dealer in County Kerry and the Peugeot Dealer of the Year 2018, will launch a trio of major new models during the Peugeot Drivetime event, now extended into this January.
The radical new Peugeot 508, rugged Rifter MPV and the eagerly-awaited new Partner, International Van of the Year 2019, will each make their Irish debut in Reen’s Rathmore, just in time for the busy January 2019 registration period. Tim Reen, Dealer Principal at Reen’s Rathmore said: “In 2018, the Peugeot brand enjoyed an excellent sales performance in both County Kerry and nationwide; with the highest volume in sales growth across all brands in Ireland, Peugeot saw a 44% increase in new car registrations with our van range maintaining a top five position.
In our own County, Peugeot now represents a massive 7.9% of total new registrations. That success has been driven by strong demand for both our excellent SUV range and our superb van offering. We look forward to continued consumer interest in 2019, with the arrival of three very important new models, each of which promises to deliver class-leading looks, style, performance and comfort, in their respective segments.” Retailing from €32,400 plus delivery, 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 T i- Cockpit®.
Highly favourable press reviews from the international press launch of the new 508 in late June have already signalled exemplary road-handling, high performance new petrol and diesel engines, countless technology features and a quantum leap in quality. A demonstrator model has just arrived at Reen’s Rathmore for customers to test drive. Replacement to the popular Partner Tepee MPV and mirroring the premium style of the lion-brand’s latest creations, the robust new Peugeot Rifter is versatile and practical. Priced from €23,540 plus delivery and borrowing SUV characteristics from its big brother 3008 and 5008 SUVs - a high ride height, large wheels, wheel arches and rear bumper protection – proportions are perfectly balanced.
Equipped with the Peugeot i- Cockpit®, it features high levels of safety and comfort equipment, new-generation petrol and diesel engines and is available in two lengths, with 5 or 7 seats. The new Rifter has just landed in Reen’s Rathmore to preview. The all-new Partner, voted International Van of the Year 2019 ahead of launch. is the brand’s first light commercial vehicle to feature the Peugeot i- Cockpit® as standard, an unprecedented move in this vehicle segment. From €16,700 plus delivery, or from €13,615 ex-VAT and offering the perfect balance between convenience, practicality and drivability, the new Partner is available in both Standard and Long body, to swallow goods measuring up 2.16m in length.
It delivers a load capacity of up to 4.4m3 (2 Euro-pallets) and payloads ranging from 650KG to 1000KG. A range of new petrol and diesel engines will be launched on the new Partner, with a choice of both manual and automatic transmission. The new Partner has just arrived at Reen’s Rathmore for customers to test. The Peugeot Drivetime event is now on at Reen’s Rathmore.
