Peugeot has claimed three overall wins at Towcar of the Year. Back in 1980, their 505 SR took the number one spot, succeeded by the 406 in both 1997 and 2002.

Not only that, five price class awards have gone to Peugeot’s 308, 309, 405 and 406 the 2015 308. Our Judges remark on the 1.2 engine as an ‘amazing revelation’.
