The New Peugeot 308 has won the Urban Vehicle category in the Women’s World Car of the Year awards and will now compete with the other category winners in the final of the competition due to take place around 8 March, writes Trish Whelan

The other six categories are Family SUV, Family Car, Large SUV, Sports Car and 4x4. The 56 women jurors from 40 countries and five continents that make up the WWCOTY said: “Excellence in terms of safety, driving, technology, design, environmental efficiency and value for money is perfectly embodied by the new Peugeot model’. 

The jury appraised 65 candidates launched between 1 January and 31 December 2021. 

After the double victory in 2021 of the Peugeot 2008 (Urban SUV category) and Peugeot 208 (Urban Vehicle category), the Peugeot 308 is the brand’s third vehicle to win a WWCOTY category in just two years.
