The Peugeot 508 has been voted ‘Public Car of The Year’ at the 2020 Middle East Car of the Year Awards (MECOTY). This prestigious award comes as the French car brand continues its comeback in the Middle East, and is the third MECOTY prize for the brand in as many years, after the Peugeot 3008 SUV also won the public vote in 2018 and Peugeot 308 took the ‘Best Hatchback’ award in 2019. With online voting by the public taking place between 15th February and 15th March 2020, the Peugeot 508 gained the most votes out of all the 80 models nominated for the award with its popularity attributable to its beautiful exterior and cutting-edge technology. The latest generation of Peugeot’s 508 fastback sedan model has been completely re-imagined to emphasise the carmaker’s new, futuristic design language.
