The tagline ‘Motion and Emotion’ represents the pure thought and ingenuity that goes into their designs, something which is very apparent in the new all-new Peugeot 3008 SUV” he said.

“Being voted a finalist in the 2018 Wesbank South African Car of the Year competition is a huge honour and given that it was voted by an impressive panel of 26 Jury members of the South African Guild of motoring journalists makes it even more of an achievement.” Francisco concluded.
