Peugeot pick up awards at Auto Festival

PEUGEOT scooped two major awards at the recent 34th International Automobile Festival at Hôtel des Invalides in Paris.

The new PEUGEOT 508 won the Grand Prix award for Most Beautiful Car of the Year 2018 and the PEUGEOT e-LEGEND Concept received the Grand Prix award for the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year. Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of the PEUGEOT brand, and Gilles Vidal, PEUGEOT Design Director, collected the two prizes. The brand’s radical new fastback has already been presented 20 awards in nine countries, clocking up over 10,000 orders in Europe since launch in October 2018, following its public reveal in March, 2018 at the Geneva Motor Show.

The PEUGEOT e-LEGEND Concept won the prize for the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year. The jury members were won over by the concept car, which is reminiscent of the iconic PEUGEOT 504 Coupé, yet hints at a 100 per cent autonomous, electric, connected vehicle of the future. Powered by a 100 per cent electric power train with a range of 600km, and boasting four-wheel drive, the e-LEGEND reaches 0 – 100 km/h in less than 4 seconds, with a maximum speed of 220 km/h.
