We are eagerly waiting for Peugeot to enter the market because this French major has all what is needed to be successful. The products are not only premium but are value for money at the same time. At the 2012 Auto Expo the major showcased a couple of products hinting that very soon we would see the official launch of some of the cars.
The company showcased Peugeot 508 sedan, Peugeot 3008 MPV along with its hybrid version, Peugeot RCZ sports car and Peugeot 908 race car.

This is the car we have been talking about for months and we also managed to get the exclusive pictures and technical specifications of the 508 Indian model. At the Auto Expo it turned out to be head turner and the credit is to be given to the brilliant look of the car. The car is expected to be launched soon and will be priced at around Rs. 20 Lakh ex-showroom. The car will be brought via the CBU route.
