The "Car of the Year" award ceremony was held in exceptional conditions at Palexpo on Monday, March 2. Behind closed doors, the #Event was transmitted live on the Geneva International Motor Show website, and on the Facebook page #GimsSwiss.
A jury of 58 journalists elected the #Peugeot #208 as "Car of the Year" ahead of the six other finalists. The car stood out from its competitors thanks to its exceptional choice of powertrains which includes an electric version beside the traditional gasoline and diesel engine.
Once the winner was announced, Frank Janssen, President of the Jury and car journalist from the German magazine Stern, had the opportunity to talk to Mr Jean-Philippe Imparato, the brand director of #Peugeot, by video-conference. Not present on site, Mr Imparato was able to react live to the announcement. "We are delighted that the #Peugeot #208 has been honoured "Car of the Year". It's fantastic to be recognized by a jury of experts like the #caroftheyear jury".2020 Results:
