PEUGEOT 508 IS SPAIN'S BEST CAR OF THE YEAR

Launched in February 2011, the Peugeot 508, the Brand's latest large touring car model, has picked up the prestigious "Best Car of the Year" award in Spain, joining Peugeot's six other models which are past winners.
 

For the 40th edition of the award, organised by the leading daily ABC, 43 models marketed in Spain in 2011 were scrutinised by a jury made up of 52 auto journalists from the country's specialised and general interest media.

By racking up 186 points, the 508 headed the top three some way in front of the Range Rover Evoque and the Hyundai i40.

Bolstered by a successful launch in Europe during the first half of 2011, followed by its arrival on the Chinese market in July, the 508 is reaffirming the Brand's ambitions on one of its long-standing segments, that of large touring cars.

In South Africa the 508 was launched last November to critical acclaim, including ours.
