The Peugeot 3008 crossover has been named as the 2017 Car of the Year at the Geneva motor show.
Judged by 58 European motoring journalists, the panel awarded the gong after being impressed by the model’s combination of style, design and performance.
Alfa Romeo’s Giulia was the runner up, while the Mercedes-Benz E-Class completed the podium.
It is the fifth Peugeot to win the competition, with the 504 first scooping the award in 1969. The last time a model from the French brand won the award was in 2002 with the 307.
“I am particularly proud and very pleased that the all-new Peugeot 3008 has just won the 2017 Car of the Year prize. This trophy is the culmination of five years of incredible work by the brand’s teams and our group,” said Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of Peugeot.
