The Peugeot brand is the oldest car brand still in existence, having been founded in 1810 as a steel foundry in Sochaux, France. It was not until 1891 that the first mass production of cars was launched. Since then, the Peugeot Group PSA has produced more than 50 million vehicles.
Peugeot also has close ties with Switzerland. Not only because Sochaux is only about 20 minutes from the Swiss border. Swiss products were also used in the production of the cars. In 1899, 1.5 hp Zedel engines from Switzerland were used for motorcycles, which still had no clutch or gearbox.
What is Peugeot known for?
Reliability: Peugeot's are regularly rated as low maintenance and durable. This is reflected in the 'Peugeot Service Promise', a brand promise of transparent, fast and high quality maintenance.
Design: Since 2022, Peugeot has had a new brand identity with a sporty, clear and uncluttered design, including a new logo.
Efficiency: Peugeot is renowned for developing efficient engines, such as the PureTech petrol engines. These ensure low fuel consumption and low CO₂ emissions.
What is the price-performance ratio of Peugeot?
Peugeot has long been known for its excellent value for money. There are many reasons for this. On the one hand, it offers high-quality workmanship and innovative technologies. On the other hand, the efficient engines and the guarantee promise, especially for electric motors, ensure high value stability.

Fun facts about Peugeot
Pepper mills and cars: Peugeot began its history not with cars, but with the production of coffee, pepper and salt mills. This unusual product range is still available today.
Three-wheeled vehicle: Peugeot's entry into car manufacturing in 1886 was also rather unusual. The Serpollet tricycle was Peugeot's first vehicle and powered by steam.
Electric car from 1941: Due to fuel restrictions during the Second World War, Peugeot introduced the VLV model in 1941. It was a small electric vehicle and arguably the first of its kind.
