Who makes Peugeot cars?
Peugeot is a French car maker and part of the Stellantis group. Its roots lie in a family business that moved from milling into steelmaking and tools. The lion became the family’s emblem in the nineteenth century, long before it became familiar on Peugeot cars. Today the range spans small cars, family hatchbacks, SUVs, vans and passenger shuttles.
That breadth has developed over a long history: Peugeot models in the listed range run from 1984 to 2026. The marque serves everyday drivers as well as families and businesses that need room for people or work equipment.
Which Peugeot models are most prominent?
The 208 leads the listed EU registration figures, with 5,191,947 registrations from 2011 to 2025. It is Peugeot’s small hatchback, while the 308 serves the compact family-car role and has a listed run from 2008 to 2026. The 2008 is a smaller SUV, with a listed run from 2013 to 2026.
The 3008 and 5008 extend the SUV range to larger family vehicles. The 508 is a larger passenger car. Earlier small-car names include the 106, 206 and 207; the 108 followed as a city car. Peugeot also makes vans and people carriers, with the Expert and Partner among its longer-running lines.
How has Peugeot’s range changed?
The model history spans the 505, listed from 1984 to 1992, and the 405, listed from 1989 to 2014, through successive generations of small cars, family cars and SUVs. The 206 and 207 carried Peugeot’s small-car role into the new century, before the 208 arrived in 2011. The 308 began in 2008, followed by the 3008 and 5008 in 2010.
Later additions broadened the range. The 2008 brought a smaller SUV, the Rifter joined the van-based family-car line, and the 408 added another passenger-car shape. The Expert and Partner show Peugeot’s continuing presence in vans. Together, these models trace the shift from familiar hatchbacks and saloons to a wider mix of cars for families and businesses.
Where are Peugeot cars sold, and how are they powered?
Peugeot appears in official vehicle information for the European Union, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Its model history includes the iOn, an electric car, alongside conventional passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Powertrain options can vary by model, year and market.
Fuel-consumption and emissions results depend on the test procedure. European figures use WLTP or the older NEDC, the United States uses EPA ratings, and Canada uses a 5-cycle test. Because the methods differ, results from different markets are not directly like-for-like.
