This is Peugeot's all-new family hatchback: the 308. Yep, that's right: Peugeot isn't rolling over to the '309' moniker, but don't be fooled: the new 308's design looks worlds apart from the off-the-pace outgoing car. Sticking with the same model names for all future cars will simplify the range for consumers, reckons Peugeot: it's a demonstration of the fightback to rebuild ...

Month 4 running a Peugeot 208 - bemoaning the 208's well below-par gearbox I'm no expert, but if you’re building a 200mph supercar I presume you test it at high speed so the bodywork doesn’t disintegrate like Wile E Coyote’s Acme-powered, Road Runner-chasing rocket. And if you’re developing a supermini for city life, then you’d evaluate it in stop/start traffic, right? ...

This is the new Peugeot 208 GTi, and it follows hot on the heels of our drives of both the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo. Can it be as good as the Fiesta ST or Clio Turbo? The Peugeot has nearly 20bhp more than the Ford, and as some Renaultsport fans bemoan the Clio’s new dual-clutch transmission, ...

Month 12 running a 508 - the final verdict on our time in the 508 SW It's au revoir to the grand voiture this month, and as I watch the collection driver slowly check for damage around the vehicle that has been my personal transport for the last eight months – and silently curse me for leaving it with an ...

Should Nissan's Juke, Vauxhall's new Mokka and the upcoming Ford Ecosport be worried about a French revolution? This is the new Peugeot 2008, the latest so-called 'compact crossover' to take supermini genes and add an extra helping of ride height and ruggedness. First previewed as a lurid green concept at the 2012 Paris motor show, the production 2008 tones down ...

Peugeot will show an RCZ R concept car at the 2012 Paris motor show - signalling its intention to turn its good-looking coupe into a more serious sporting drive. The show also marks the arrival of an RCZ facelift for the rest of the range, bringing the two-door into line with the new family face. The RCZ R will go ...

If Peugeot's to survive its current financial woes, it needs to get younger buyers excited about the brand. Along with the 208 GTI, the brand will be showing this, the 2008 concept, at the Paris motor show. It's a small, urban-friendly crossover designed to be more practical than a standard supermini, combined with an eco-friendly 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine. Which niche ...

You might well be fed up with Peugeot's recent hot hatch efforts being compared in vain to the iconic 205 GTI, but Peugeot is so confident they've got it right at last with the 208, they're likening it to the iconic Eighties pocket rocket. Kicking out 197bhp, the 208 GTI is also usefully lighter than its 207 predecessor, helping acceleration ...

Dear Signor Agnelli, We have just compared two machines we now believe to be the first genuine small supercars, and we must say, immediately, that the Fiat Uno Turbo lost decisively to the Peugeot 205 GTi; not because the Uno is a bad car, but because the 205 GTi is so good. In fact, after the Peugeot, we rate the ...
In the new June 2012 issue of CAR Magazine, Ben Oliver drove Peugeot's new 508 RXH across Morocco, from Tangiers in the north to Merzouga in the south. That's from the closet point to the European mainland to the edge of the Sahara desert. CAR has done numerous adventure drives across Morocco in the past, many of them in Peugeots. So ...
