Peugeot 308 wins 2014 European Car of the Year

The new Peugeot 308 is not set to reach Australia until early 2015 but it's already collected a prestigious gong in the European Car of the Year for 2014.


Peugeot's rival for the likes of the Mazda 3, Golf and Focus amassed 307 points from the total of 58 jurors comprising motoring journalists from across Europe, with the BMW i3 electric car taking the runners-up spot with 223 votes.

Other contenders included the Tesla S (216 votes), Citroen C4 Picasso (182), Mazda 3 (180), Skoda Octavia (172) and Mercedes-Benz S-Class (170).

Peugeot last won the European Car of the Year in 2002 with one of the 308's predecessors, the 307.

It's the second consecutive year a small hatchback has won the Euro COTY following the Volkswagen Golf's win in 2013.
