The Peugeot 308 has been elected 'Car of the year' for 2014 at the Geneva motor show. New car sales in France rose 12.86% in March year-on-year, a rebound after a difficult start to the year for the automotive market, according to data published on April 1, 2026 by the Plateforme automobile (PFA), the sector's lobbying body.
