PSA issues a statement on the tests conducted by the Government on the possibility of emissions errors.

The results of the tests conducted by the technical committee led by French environment minister Ségolène Royal have now been communicated to us. These results attest to the absence of anomalies on PSA Peugeot Citroën vehicles.
The pictures below are for illustrative purposes only, and are not to be considered to be part of any investigation, or for the vehicles pictured to be considered as cars with possible "cheat devices", if you are unsure, then contact your local dealership, PSA has been shown to be cheat free.

The purpose of the tests, which were carried out by French testing laboratory UTAC, was to verify vehicle compliance with regard to pollutant emissions. The test results confirm the validity of PSA Peugeot Citroën’s choices in terms of pollutant emission treatment technology.
These initial results also confirm the effectiveness of the BlueHDi after-treatment system, which includes selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology positioned upstream of the particulate filter, to treat the nitrogen oxides (NOx) released by diesel engines. This technology has been deployed on all of the Group’s Euro6 vehicles since late 2013.
PSA Peugeot Citroën has not been the subject of a search by France’s General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control (DGCCRF).

  • PEUGEOT leads the big manufacturers with the lowest CO2 range
  • World premieres and Concept Cars make the PEUGEOT stand in Hall 8 the one to visit
  • Sees the debut of the 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT and FRACTAL electric urban coupé design
After putting itself firmly back on track at the last motor show in Geneva, PEUGEOT has really put its foot down over the first half of 2015 and will be appearing at Frankfurt on top form: with 886,000 units sold by the end of June 2015, the car maker has seen a 3.9% increase in worldwide sales, with strong growth in Europe (up 6.7%), Asia (up 9.6%), Africa and the Middle East (10.9%) and India/Pacific (50.2%), while continuing to move its range up-market.

Launching its assault on all fronts, PEUGEOT benefits from:
  • the appeal of a very young product range, with an average age of 2.6 years;
  • the global success of the 308 - the Brand’s best-seller, No.1 in France and the European top 3 in the C segment;
  • the global car - the 2008 is now produced on 3 continents and is No.2 in Europe in the B-SUV segment;
  • the technological deployment of the new Euro 6 engines, with 25 best-in-class CO2 versions and the latest EAT6 (Electronic Automatic Transmission) gearboxes.
Environmental footprint: PEUGEOT is the benchmark
PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN has set itself the target of an average CO2 of 95g/km within the EU-28, to be reached by 2020.  In the first five months of 2015, it was the first car maker with CO2 to go below 110g/km with 106.9g/km achieved, while the manufacturers’ (all marques) average stands at 121.4g CO2/km.
Now, with average emissions of 106.3g CO2/km, PEUGEOT is in the lead, ahead of the big brands in the CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Emissions) ratings. This remarkable achievement was attained while increasing the sales of SUVs and the petrol energy mix. Since 2012, PEUGEOT has reduced its CO2emissions by 12.6% and by a further 3% over the first half of 2015. This performance is mainly explained by the efficiency of the new diesel BlueHDi and petrol PureTech engine ranges and the latest EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox.
With 25 Best-in-Class vehicles in six different ranges, PEUGEOT has confirmed its position as the benchmark for its environmental footprint and running efficiency.This applies to the full range, from compact to the larger vehicles. A few examples:
  • in the B segment, the 208 1.6-litre BlueHDi 100 emits CO2 of just 79g/km and recently beat the world fuel consumption record with just 2L/100km
  • in the C segment, the 308 boasts 10 Best-in-Class versions, including the 1.2-litre PureTech 110 which emits CO2 of just 95g/km; it also holds an International Engine of the Year title, awarded in June for the PureTech 3-cylinder turbo in the 1.0-1.4-litre category;
  • in the D segment the 508 1.6-litre BlueHDi 120 is fitted with the EAT6 six-speed automatic gearbox and emits just 99g/km of CO2.

PEUGEOT 3-cylinder turbo PureTech: International Engine of the Year 2015 (1.0 to 1.4-litre) 
308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT
*
Two years after its launch, the PEUGEOT 308 has become the Brand’s worldwide best-seller. In the highly competitive European C segment, 308 is now in the top three (3rd best-selling vehicle in Europe, in the hatchback and estate category). The vehicle, named Car of the Year in 2014, continues to enjoy great success. Already the No.1 hatchback in France, the arrival of the SW version has made it leader in its segment in France, Italy, Belux, Poland and the Netherlands. After the launch of the GT and GT Line versions at the start of the year, 308 is continuing its performance pace with the arrival of the accomplished 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT.
This version takes the 308 range into a whole new dimension, taking it to new heights which follows the achievements made with the RCZ R and 208 GTi (first as the 30th and now) by PEUGEOT SPORT. The 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT is the result of the considerable expertise from the successful competition departments’ technicians, engineers and drivers located at Vélizy, France.
Performance is guaranteed: with its 1.6-litre THP 270hp turbocharged petrol engine, 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT gets from 0 to 62mph in just 6 seconds and covers 1,000 metres from a standing start in 25.3 seconds, with a top speed electronically limited to 155mph. Due to its extraordinarily flexible engine with 169hp/litre and its weight limited to 1205kg, the 308 GTi by PEUGEOT SPORT emits CO2 of just 139g/km, making it the benchmark in its category. Symbolising all the firm’s expertise, it is lowered by 11mm and offers extraordinary road handling with its Torsen® differential, Michelin Super Sport tyres on 19” alloy wheels and is equipped to stop even quicker with 300mm front disc brakes. It is available in six colour choices plus a Coupe Franche (the distinctive clean-cut two colour way) version contrasting the Pearl Nera Black with the new Ultimate Red paint colour.
PEUGEOT 308 R HYbrid: supercar performance from an award-winning car
*
With its tracks widened by 80mm and its muscular stance, PEUGEOT 308 R HYbrid certainly stands out from the crowd. And the figures are very impressive: with plug-in hybrid technology that develops 500hp, including 270hp from the 1.6-litre THP petrol engine and two electric motors with 115hp each, mounted one on each axle, it boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 3.1kg/hp and has maximum torque of 730Nm. This formidable vehicle can achieve 0 to 62mph in just 4 seconds and just 22 seconds to cover 1,000 metres from a standing start.
Utilising the virtues of the EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) that the PEUGEOT 308 was built on, now with four-wheel drive, inside it has four individual sport seats and emits just 70g/km of CO2. The driver can choose between four driving modes, with different power levels to suit the road: Hot Lap (500hp), Track (400hp), Road (300hp) and ZEV (0 emissions).
Spectacular, sensational, extraordinary... any number of superlatives can be used to describe this formidable performance car.

PEUGEOT FRACTAL concept: the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with sound
*
With over 1.8 million customers won over since 2012 and the launch of 208, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® has become the distinctive sign of the Brand’s recent creations. In 2015, PEUGEOT is unveiling a new prospective study with an innovative concept known as PEUGEOT FRACTAL. The futuristic lines of this electric urban coupé reveals a new interpretation of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, where the focus is on sound to offer an even more instinctive drive experience.
Vision, touch and now hearing are called on to immerse the driver and passengers in a unique sensory experience due to a ‘9.1.2’ acoustic system combining a 9.1 hi-fi set-up with infra-bass speakers built into the back of each seat enabling the driver to feel the sound.
Brazilian sound designer Amon Tobin worked with PEUGEOT’s style specialists to create an interior sound identity for the concept car as well as its exterior signature, which varies depending on whether the vehicle is accelerating, decelerating or driving at constant speed. It is designed to alert pedestrians and cyclists, ensuring the car is perfectly at home in an urban environment.
PEUGEOT FRACTAL also rolls out innovative technology in the cockpit. The heads-up system comes with a digital tablet with HD holographic display, while the compact steering wheel has built-in touch pads and a double touch-sensitive interface to control the functions and acoustic ambiance. In fact, 80% of the interior parts are 3D-printed, including the anechoic surfaces that guide the sound, just like in a concert hall. Finally, the doors can be opened remotely using a connected Samsung Gear S watch.
Driven by a fully electric powertrain, this urban electric coupé develops 204hp and has a driving range of 280 miles due to its aerodynamic design, its low weight (1,000kg) and Tall&Narrow tyres. It is certainly swift, reaching 62mph in 6.8 seconds and covering 1,000 metres in 28.8 seconds, yet it is perfectly at home in the city with its compact stance (at just 3.81metres long) with a variable ground clearance of between 7cm to 11cm.

Peugeot celebrates rising up the charts in the Auto Express Driver Power 2015 Survey Results.

  • Auto Express Driver Power sees PEUGEOT Dealers climb to fifth overall for aftersales
  • Dealers take significant step forward in how they conduct sales
  • PEUGEOT ranks highly for customer loyalty
PEUGEOT owners have given the brand a resounding thumbs up in the latest Auto Express Driver Power survey. The newly published report, which gives owners the opportunity to rate their experience at Dealerships, saw PEUGEOT continue to race up the rankings. 

For aftersales, the French firm finished fifth overall, a four-place improvement on 2014. In sales terms too, owners believe PEUGEOT Dealers have made a significant step forwards, up from 14th last year to eighth!


This year the Auto Express Driver Power survey collated the experiences of 60,988 UK car owners. Respondents are owners of new and used cars with 56 per cent owning cars that are less than three years old. 

In the all-important after-sales section, PEUGEOT continued an upwards trajectory that saw its customers rate it the most improved brand in the industry in last year’s Driver Power. For 2015, PEUGEOT Dealers were the best European-owned brand and the first European mass market car maker among the 32 manufacturers ranked.

In the six aftersales areas, respondents are asked to rate helpfulness and attitude, standard of workmanship, cleanliness and atmosphere, technical knowledge, keeping owners informed and value for money. 

PEUGEOT Dealers comfortably eclipsed all their 2014 scores. In position terms, compared to other manufacturers, PEUGEOT Dealers finished ahead of their 2014 place in five of the six categories.

For vehicle sales, PEUGEOT Dealerships finished eighth out of the 32 car companies rated, up six places compared to 2014. Dealers eclipsed their 2014 scores in all eight categories. They also finished higher compared to rival manufacturers in all classes than they did in 2014.

PEUGEOT owners aren't just happy with their Dealerships; they're pleased with their cars and the ownership experience too. The company’s Net Promoter Score (NPS), a ranking used to gauge the loyalty of customers to brands, is more than 70 per cent when the average of all models is taken. 

The rating is particularly high (more than 70 per cent) on the 108, 2008, current 308 and RCZ. Any NPS ranking higher than 50 is viewed as ‘excellent’.

When PEUGEOT drivers were asked what they would improve on their car, the most popular response was… nothing! More than a quarter of owners said their car couldn't be bettered, by far the single most popular response among PEUGEOT owners. 

The survey also revealed that 85 per cent of PEUGEOT owners wouldn't rule out buying another car from the French maker.

As a manufacturer, PEUGEOT finished in 10th position overall out of 32 in Auto Express Driver Power, up four places compared to 2014. 

Their cars’ reliability was the quality the majority of owners most liked about their PEUGEOT and the company finished the survey ninth overall in reliability terms, ahead of brands that are considered by some to be famed for their dependability.

Peugeot to have it's best ever Geneva showcase, in a huge stand, all black and copper.

  • Sportier cars and a modern product range are displayed together at the Geneva Motor Show
  • Future car concepts, new technologies, and the latest best-selling cars shown
  • New 208 debuts at Geneva Motor Show with a host of enhanced features
With global sales up 5.4% and considerable above-market growth in China and Europe, it is a determined PEUGEOT that is standing proud at the 85th International Geneva Motor Show 2015.


Featuring 2600m2 of a unique design, this year's stand is dressed in the iconic clean black and copper lines introduced by the distinctive Onyx Concept car. The PEUGEOT stand will host no less than three concept cars, the 2008 DKR and 23 models including the new 208 which has its world première unveiling. Just three years after launch, the best-selling PEUGEOT – with almost one million units sold – is substantially enhanced and will be one of the major new PEUGEOT show attractions.


In Geneva, PEUGEOT continues its strategy to move upmarket in three specific areas:
  • The GT Line area shows personality and dynamism across the PEUGEOT 208, 308, 508 and RCZ;
  • The Sports area, focuses on performance and features the PEUGEOT 308 GT & 308 SW GT, RCZ R and 208 GTi by PEUGEOT Sport – bringing competition experience to further enhance existing cars – and the impressive PEUGEOT 2008 DKR which has just returned from the Dakar Rally;
  • The Technologies area, brings together all of the Brand's technological expertise with the new EAT6 quick-changing automatic gearbox and the Euro 6 PureTech, BlueHDi and THP engine powers which, with 20 Best in Class engines, make PEUGEOT the benchmark for efficiency and low CO2 emissions.


THE NEW PEUGEOT 208: THE 208, BUT EVEN BETTER
Exactly three years after it was launched in Geneva, the new 208, which goes on sale from June 2015, is showcasing new ambitions via its updated exterior and interior style and, above all, with greater choice of a full line up of Euro 6 engines and unprecedented features.

A more energetic design

The exterior style becomes sleeker thanks to:
  • a larger grille and a chrome trim built in to the bumper;
  • new black and chrome two-tone lights with a new LED light signature;
  • new painted, diamond-effect or laser-engraved wheels;
  • new LED 'claw effect' rear lights.
The interior features the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit, combining its compact steering wheel, heads-up positioned instrument panel and its large 7" touchscreen, has been further updated. Among the major changes is the inclusion of:
  • a soft-touch dashboard insert with a visual design;
  • white backlighting for the instrument panel and controls;
  • blue LED light guides for versions equipped with a panoramic roof;
A range which offers more choice

With an already extensive choice, the colour palette offered on the new PEUGEOT 208 has gained a new vibrant shade which will also features as its launch colour: Orange Power. And because no two customers are the same, exterior customisation packs from the grille to the door mirror covers will be available from level 2 models.

Already adopted on the PEUGEOT 308 and 508, the new 208 range can now be specified in the new GT Line finish. On three or five door models, with PureTech petrol or BlueHDi diesel engines, the 208 GT Line is influenced by the sporty looks of the GTi: for example, the exterior features larger 17 inch wheels, and black door mirror covers, and on the inside, with its sport seats and steering wheel, also features the GTi’s aluminium pedal unit, inviting a more dynamic experience.

The PEUGEOT 205 GTi, had its 30th year commemorated with the 208 GTi 30th anniversary edition and, to perpetuate this legacy, comes the 208 GTi by PEUGEOT Sport. It is now a featured premium model in the range; with Euro 6 controlled 208hp under the bonnet, Torsen® differential, large 330mm brake discs and a proven performance pedigree, it is asserting itself as the most radical expression of the 208 range.

New high-tech features

To reduce the risk and severity of collisions in urban environments, the PEUGEOT 208 uses the new Active City Brake feature which can be triggered below 20mph. A sensor on the top of the windscreen, this safety feature – particularly useful in the city – automatically applies the brakes, bringing the vehicle to a complete stop if deemed necessary to avoid a collision.
Another new feature is the rear view camera, available as an optional extra from level 2 to make reversing the car even easier.

New Euro 6 engines and EAT6 gearbox

The new 208 range is defined by its updated design and new features, and also the four new engines developed by the PSA and a new quick-changing EAT6 automatic gearbox.
On the BlueHDi diesel engine, key aspects include:
  • the appearance of three new engine power outputs: 1.6L BlueHDi 75hp, 100hp and 120hp;
  • all versions have CO2 emissions below 95g/km;
  • the 1.6L BlueHDi 75hp and 100hp can achieve 94mpg with CO2 emissions of just 79g/km, making the PEUGEOT 208 the world leader of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles in terms of low CO2emissions.
The PureTech petrol range includes three engine power outputs:
  • two previously existing engines with the 1.0L PureTech 68 and 1.2L PureTech 82;
  • one new engine - the 1.2L PureTech 110 S&S with remarkably low emissions CO2 of 103g/km.
A major innovation for 2015 is the new EAT6 automatic gearbox that helps to improve the range's operating efficiency:
  • Quickshift technology – smoother and quicker;
  • Only 1g/km increase in CO2 compared to the manual gearbox;
  • 104g/km of CO2 for the 1.2L PureTech 110 S&S EAT6 version - a reduction of -30% compared to the 1.6L VTi 120 automatic version.
ENGINE POWER: TECHNOLOGICAL EXCELLENCE FOR PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY

Begun in 2014, the roll-out of Euro 6 engines continues in 2015 in petrol and diesel versions with 20 Best in class engines in their performance category. Some of the most impressive facts include:
  • The Peugeot carbon footprint is now less than 110g of CO2 per km;
  • Largely due to PEUGEOT’s performance in 2014, the PSA PEUGEOT CITROËN group has reclaimed its place as the European leader with an average of 110.3g/km of CO2 (CAFE);
  • Of the CAFE leaders, it is PEUGEOT which has made the most significant reductions in its emissions with a -4.6% reduction between 2013/2014 and -27% over the last 10 years.
PureTech petrol engine range
In 2014, due in particular to the arrival of PureTech engines which helped to improve the sales mix worldwide, 53% of the vehicles sold by PEUGEOT were petrol and 47% were diesel. The PureTech range, which is in the running for Engine of the Year, enjoys a complete and efficient offering:
  • Fully Euro 6 range from 95g/km of CO2;
  • 5 Best-in-class versions among the 208, 2008, 308 and 3008 ranges.
THP petrol engine range
Voted engine of the year 8 times running, the 1.6L THP 200 engine was joined in 2014 by the 1.6L THP 270, which reaches almost 170hp/l. The THP range demonstrates PEUGEOT's technological expertise which continually improves performance while reducing emissions and consumption:
  • Fully Euro 6 range from 125g/km of CO2;
  • Three Best in Class versionswith the PEUGEOT 208 GTi (208hp), 308 GT (205hp) and RCZ R (270hp)
BlueHDi diesel engine range
BlueHDI is the family of combustion engines which provides the most efficient depollution technology currently on the market, thanks to the exclusive combination of SCR and additive-enhanced FAP:
  • Fully Euro 6 across the range
  • 12 Best in Class versions among the 208, 308, 3008, 2008, 508 and Partner ranges.
THE PEUGEOT 108: EVEN MORE ZEST

Launched in summer 2014, the city-dweller with the sleek and chic design made around 40% of its sales in levels 3 and 4 (Allure and Feline), and the cabrio 108 TOP! takes 20% of sales. To build on this success, all engine powers meet the Euro 6 standard and the 108 range is growing with the arrival of the special Roland Garros edition. The two-tone version is now available in 3- and 5-door models and in six new colour combinations.

From May, an option bringing together lane departure warning system and automatic city braking will be available.

THREE CONCEPTS WITH ONE BRAND VISION

With Onyx, PEUGEOT has introduced its exclusive concept car with clean lines daringly bringing together black and copper, and inspired a radical version of the 208 GTi by PEUGEOT Sport, which is marketed to retail customers for the first time. In Geneva, Onyx is going further – this time, the entire PEUGEOT stand is displaying the principle of clean lines with a whole wall made of copper.

By its side, the athletic PEUGEOT Exalt is a distilled vision of the saloon in physical form, with its petrol plug-in HYbrid4 drive chain providing up to 340hp, and innovative materials like its bare steel bodywork.

The PEUGEOT Quartz is PEUGEOT's vision of a top-of-the-range SUV: its sporty, robust and powerful style lends it a visual force fitting for its full-hybrid plug-in 500hp petrol drive chain.
Motor sport as a technological laboratory

In the SUV and crossover fields, the PEUGEOT 2008 DKR, with its impressive build, is the ultimate expression of motor sport. Only just back from South America, it bears the scars of 10,000 km of racing in the most formidable and most challenging of motor events, the Dakar Rally. It is the symbol of the Lion brand's return, ready to come out fighting during the next rally in 2016.
