Peugeot's Best Monthly Result Ever 

July 2007

Peugeot Automobiles Australia has recorded its best ever monthly sales record, with 1016 new Peugeots registered in the month of June. It is also the first time in the company’s long history in Australia that sales of over 1000 cars in a month have been achieved, which is testament to the strength of the Peugeot brand.

The monthly result reflects an increase of 33% compared to June last year, and eclipsed the previous record of 805 sales in February this year.

Year to date sales are up 13% compared to the same period in 2006.

Sales were strong across the entire Peugeot range, which has been bolstered with the recent arrival of the all new 207. With the imminent launch of further derivatives such as the 207CC and the 207GTi, the popularity of the 207 is set to increase.

The star of the line up was the 307, with the stylish model racking up 623 sales. Interestingly, diesel models contributed three quarters of 307 sales and 62% of the month’s overall total, highlighting the increasing popularity of diesel motoring with Australian new car buyers. With particulate filters fitted as standard to all Peugeot HDi models, combined with low levels of C02 emissions, Peugeot diesel buyers can be assured that they are making an environmentally friendly choice of vehicle.

Rob Dommerson, Managing Director of Peugeot Automobiles Australia is very proud of the result, which he says has been achieved by the combination of an excellent product range and a strong and vibrant Dealer Network.

“The record result is very pleasing, and I would like to congratulate Peugeot Dealers for an outstanding result. With a dynamic and comprehensive model range that offers style, safety and excellent value for money, more and more customers are considering the Peugeot brand”.

Peugeot Dealers around Australia have been transformed in the last few years, with facility upgrades to 100% of the network to meet Peugeot’s ‘Blue Box” global visual identity program.

“To cater for our growth, Peugeot Dealers nationally have invested in their facilities to ensure that they are able to deliver excellent service to a growing customer base, and are now really beginning to see the return of their investment. I am confident that based on this record sales result, Peugeot will go from strength to strength in the market place”.
