The all-new PEUGEOT 208 and the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV had a successful night at the Fleet News Awards 2020, taking home two of the ceremony’s top accolades. PEUGEOT’s all-new supermini was named 'Best Small Car' and the all-new PEUGEOT 2008 SUV 'Best Compact SUV' of the year.  Both the PEUGEOT 508 and 3008 SUV were also highly commended in the 'Best Upper Medium' and 'Best Mid-Size SUV' categories respectedly.

Launched in January 2020,  the all-new 208 is the first model in PEUGEOT’s range to be released under the new philosophy of ‘choose your PEUGEOT, choose your powertrain’ and is available as a full electric vehicle or with both efficient petrol and diesel engines. PEUGEOT‘s electrification strategy will see a full electric model range available by 2023. Judges were particularly impressed with the technology and low running costs of the all-new PEUGEOT 208, making it a strong proposition for businesses and company car drivers. The all-new 2008 SUV was launched in February 2020 and was praised by Fleet News for its modern and distinctive styling, and high-quality interior.

The all-new PEUGEOT 208 and 2008 SUV feature the latest-generation 3D PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with a compact multifunction steering wheel, a configurable 3D head-up display panel and either a 7” or 10” HD capacitive colour touchscreen.
