Solely marketed and distributed in Sri Lanka by Carmart Ltd., world-renowned European vehicle brand Peugeot recorded an exceptional year in 2018 in terms of its vehicle sales. Spearheaded by its state-of-the-art Peugeot 3008 and 5008 SUVs the company saw close to 300 registrations in 2018 alone, thereby cementing its position as the most popular European brand new SUV in Sri Lanka.

Further to the many accolades that the SUV range had already won since its introduction, it was also named ‘Carbuyer’s Best Medium SUV 2019,’ the Driver Power’s ‘Car of the Year 2018’ and the ‘Gold Winner – Mid-Sized SUV 2018’ in the 16th Driver Power survey.

The sleek Peugeot 3008 SUV combines technology with elegance to display strength and character, and has won 63 prizes worldwide and was voted Car of the Year 2017 by 58 European journalists from 22 countries.

The Peugeot 3008 offers a unique blend of style, comfort and road handling. The spectacular Peugeot i-Cockpit is state-of-the-art and gives new meaning to being in the driver’s seat.
