The Peugeot 2008 continues to confirm itself as a true vehicle full of surprises. Having already won numerous awards, the French compact SUV recently achieved another important goal. In fact, the car won another important award: the title of “The Most Beautiful Car under R$150,000” in the EXAME Casual Best Cars of the Year 2024 ranking. One result certainly rewarded the car’s strong design, which is very innovative to the public. In fact, the styling of the 2008 came with a completely new identity, with its hallmark that is causing quite a stir, namely the Peugeot brand’s luminous signature.
Peugeot 2008 also triumphs in EXAME rankings
The news of this great success of the French manufacturer Peugeot, particularly with its 2008 model, comes from an official press release from Stellantis on December 4 of the current year. The award promoted by the publication included the participation of 32 specialized journalists and highlighted the new visual identity of Marca do Leão in the jury. Another one for the story and for the work as a whole. The New Peugeot 2008 has just won another recognition, this time, in the EXAME Casual Best Cars of the Year 2024 ranking, sponsored by Exame magazine and portal.
The SUV was the winner of the “Most Beautiful Car under R$150,000” category. The publication points out that it was the brand’s “first model to present its new visual identity in South America, with a striking and innovative design,” and in addition to its excellent mechanical equipment, it highlighted the unique light signature, with the three vertical claw lights with LED DRL lights integrated into the bumper.
The light signature of the PEUGEOT 2008 is renewed at the rear, with the introduction of LED lights that interpret the emblematic three claws, surely the lion’s signature, in a very sophisticated way. They are connected by a glossy black strip, which features the elegant PEUGEOT lettering. To complete the set, the reversing lights and turn signals are also LED. A style that apparently caught the attention of many South American users, bringing Peugeot’s model to the top of this ranking, granting the manufacturer an additional and important award.
