Why are Peugeot CUVs so attractive in Vietnam?

Currently, the CUV market segment is experiencing strong growth, with increasing demand for high-quality, European-branded CUVs at reasonable prices and with comprehensive features. In this context, the Peugeot 3008 is considered a suitable choice due to its combination of four key factors: European brand, competitive price, comfort, numerous features, and fuel efficiency. At a price of 1.19 billion VND, what does the 3008 offer customers?

Peugeot is becoming more and more fuel-efficient.

Currently, European car manufacturers are focusing heavily on improving fuel efficiency, with Peugeot being one of the leading brands. All Peugeot vehicles are now designed with smaller engine sizes and more compact bodies, resulting in increasingly ideal fuel consumption. Remarkably, despite their smaller size, the power of these new generation engines surpasses that of many larger, mainstream engines.

Not to mention, Peugeot recently introduced new "super" fuel-efficient PureTech and BlueHDi engines. This is the result of the second-largest automaker in Europe's recent efforts to reduce CO2 emissions to a record low of 79g/km, meeting Euro 6 emission standards.
