PEUGEOT models, which have succeeded in winning the hearts of the consumers with their flawless design, leading technologies and superior performance, continue to crown their success with awards. The new PEUGEOT 308, the successful representative of the French manufacturer in the compact class, won the 2022 Car of the Year award in Germany. The GCOTY (Germany's Car of the Year) jury selected the new PEUGEOT 9 first in the compact class among 11 cars from 308 automakers. For the jury, PEUGEOT's strategy of 'freedom of choice' was a particular focus, allowing customers to choose between petrol, diesel and two plug-in hybrid engines. Modern technology, the digital and individually programmable PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® and the design with the new PEUGEOT logo were also influential in the awarding of the new compact hatchback. The compact model of the PEUGEOT brand continues its success in winning many awards, including the 2014 Car of the Year.

The new PEUGEOT 308, which has won the admiration of automobile lovers worldwide, has managed to attract the attention of the industry leaders as well as the consumers. The new model won one of Germany's leading prestigious awards. The new PEUGEOT 308 has been named the 2022 GCOTY (Germany's Car of the Year) in the compact class. The model, which was awarded in five categories as Compact, 'Premium', 'Luxury', 'New Energy' and 'Performance', became the best model in terms of market compatibility and future applicability of the models. The winners of the five categories will compete for the overall 25 GCOTY, which will be announced on November 2022. This award is considered the most prestigious award in the automotive industry. GCOTY is chosen by a jury of 20 international automotive journalists independent of any publishing house, automaker or auto show.
