In future, Peugeot will choose to use the end digit '1' for all its new 'conquest' models and permanently fix the identity of all models with an end digit '8' for future products.
It was in 1929 with the 201 that Peugeot began its characteristic three-digit numbering system based around the central 'zero'.
The naming system used by Peugeot, going back through history, was structured so that:
- the central zero corresponded to the identity of the Peugeot marque
- the first digit represented the segment size of the vehicle
- the end digit indicated the generation of the vehicle
This system evolved at the end of the 1990s, incorporating double letters to qualify the derived body type (CC and SW).
Since 2005, it has been supplemented with the central 'double zero', which qualified the models that have had a taller body structure, such as the 3008 and 5008.
From now on, Peugeot models will no longer change their number when they are renewed.
Permanently fixing the numbers will simplify the understanding of the range and assist in establishing it further.
