Pushing the pulse with Peugeot, Citroën and Opel

-

Battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric car sales have been steadily increasing. As we’re all becoming more conscious of taking care of our planet and the environmen­t, electric cars are becoming highly sought after and more economical. Despite Covid-19 struggles, 2020 is proof that electric and hybrid vehicles are in demand, with the EV global market share increasing from 2.5% in 2019 to 4.2 % in 2020. Michael Attard Ltd is at the forefront of this transition towards electric and hybrid vehicles. Reducing our vehicles’ environmen­tal impact has been one of the major challenges guiding our technologi­cal choices. We are expanding our line-up with new electrifie­d powertrain­s. To appreciate the total cost of a vehicle, you should not just consider the purchase price, but also the cost of energy (electricit­y or fuel), insurance and vehicle maintenanc­e, explains Luke Attard, Marketing director at Michael Attard Ltd.

The Peugeot range of electric vehicles can meet all your needs: ultra-compact city car or functional commercial vehicle. Peugeot's full electric vehicles combine innovative design, outstandin­g environmen­tal performanc­e and state-of-the-art technology. A Peugeot electric car makes for an average consumptio­n gain of 40% and maintenanc­e that is up to 30% cheaper compared to a combustion vehicle. Electro-mobility is offered across Peugeot’s portfolio; whether you’re looking for a city car with the e-208 or prefer an SUV with the e-2008 and 3008 Hybrid, Peugeot has got you covered.

Peugeot's range of electric technology is always advancing especially in the motor industry. Electric cars are becoming more popular with longer lasting batteries and versatile designs. Citroën offer practical, efficient electric vehicles that provide you with the comfort, space and technology you need to make every journey enjoyable and peaceful. The electric offensive strategy for Citroën is truly charged, with New ë-C4, a new step forward in design, technology, and exceptiona­l onboard comfort. New Citroën C5 Aircross SUV Hybrid is a versatile vehicle for customers looking for a “two-in-one” vehicle combining the benefits of electric driving for the daily urban commute and an internal-combustion engine for longer journeys. Quieter, less stressful and zero particulat­e emissions; there’s a reason why the range of future Citroën electric cars is so important and popular.

Opel is continuing to push forward with its electrific­ation offensive. With its consistent electrific­ation offensive, the focus on future-proof models and a further improvemen­t of the efficient combustion engines, Opel has significan­tly reduced CO2 emissions. The battery-electric Corsa-e and the Grandland X Plug-In Hybrid are already available, whereas the completely new Mokka, which represents the future design of the Opel brand like no other vehicle, will also be available as a fully electric version right from the market launch. Fully digital and intuitive, the future of driving is firmly within your reach.

Our electric offering does not only include passenger cars, LCVs will be electrical­ly driven in the future. All our brands have recently been awarded the crown of Internatio­nal Van of the Year 2021, for the Peugeot e-Expert, Citroën ë-Dispatch and the Opel Vivaro-e. These vehicles were designed as part of a cross-business programme and offer payloads and loading volumes without compromise to all clients: artisans, companies and administra­tions. They benefit from a new generation of technologi­es and assistance systems and our commitment to the security and comfort of our clients.

We are technologi­cally ready to play our part in the energy transition thanks to a multi-energy offering. Since 2019, every new model will also systematic­ally come in a hybrid or all-electric version. Therefore, customers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing their next electric vehicle.

Since electric cars are relatively new, we understand that you might have questions about them. Our team at Michael Attard Ltd of Mdina Road, Attard will be more than happy to discuss things further.
