THE Peugeot 3008 has been ranked the most produced car in France in 2018, having been manufactured in 258,460 units last year.
Produced at the PSA Group’s Sochaux plant, the SUV has carried ‘Origine France Garantie’ certification since launch in October 2016.
The 3008 was developed by the project teams based at the Sochaux R&D site and fine-tuned on the tracks at the Centre d’Expérimentation test centre in Belchamp where some 1,000 3008 vehicles are produced every day at the PSA Group’s Sochaux plant, which has manufactured over 23 million cars in its history.
Since its launch in 2016, the model has been a major success for Peugeot and being the third best-selling vehicle in France last year, it also contributes to Peugeot’s leadership status in the SUV category in Europe together with the 2008 and 5008.
The 3008 also leads the C-SUV segment with B2B customers and ranks number-two in passenger-car registrations all categories combined and has won 63 prizes worldwide and was voted Car of the Year 2017 by 58 European journalists from 22 countries.
