European Car Of The Year 2014 Is Peugeot 308

By Super

It came as a surprise when Peugeot 308 was named the European Car of the Year 2014. The new 308 took the prestigious title by beating some tough competition like BMW i3 electric car (which was recently named the UK Car of the Year), Mazda 3 and Skoda Octavia.

The winner of the European Car of the Year awards was selected from a shortlist consisting of seven cars, by an esteemed panel of judges consisting of 58 automotive journalists and writers from 22 European countries.

Peugeot 308 is a huge improvement over its predecessor, the 307 as it was brought out as a more upmarket car. Peugeot 308 is offered in hatchback and estate vehicle forms.

This marks the fourth time the French automaker is taking home the European Car of the Year title. The previous three times were the 307 in 2002; the 405 in 1988; the 504 in 1969.
