Peugeot 508 Voted “Most Beautiful Car Of The Year 2018”! [+Videos]

It’s not a surprise to us actually, that the amazing new Peugeot 508 picked-up the award for “most beautiful” car of 2018, because the highlight of our 2018 was driving the car in Monte Carlo. Truly one of the most memorable and epic media drives we’ve ever attended, and you can read about it here.

We also managed to do a couple of videos as well during our time with the 508, and here’s the first one…

PEUGEOT received two awards at the 34th International Automobile Festival held on 29 January 2019 at Hôtel des Invalides in Paris. The new PEUGEOT 508 won the Grand Prix award for Most Beautiful Car of the Year 2018.

The PEUGEOT e-LEGEND Concept received the Grand Prix award for the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year. Jean-Philippe Imparato, CEO of the PEUGEOT brand, and Gilles Vidal, PEUGEOT Design Director, collected the two prizes.

Here’s the second video of the 508 in Monaco…

The new PEUGEOT 508 won the award with over 34% of the votes. The brand’s radical saloon has been ordered in over 10,000 units in Europe since launch in October 2018, following its public reveal in March 2018 in Geneva.

Here’s what it’s like to drive the new 508…

PEUGEOT e-LEGEND Concept (below) won the prize for the Most Beautiful Concept Car of the Year. The expert and enthusiast jury members, hailing from the automotive, architecture, fashion and design sectors, were won over by the concept car, which embodies the exciting vision of the future of a 100% autonomous, electric, connected and customisable vehicle according to PEUGEOT.

The Borneo Safari is not anything new for seasoned 4x4 aficionados, but for us, it was one of the toughest 4X4 challenges we ever experienced. We had to survive 8 days in the jungle, sometimes knee deep in mud, bathing in the rivers and only to get muddy again moments later. Follow us on the 2024 edition of Borneo Safari and experience the challenges we faced. #BorneoSafari #BorneoSafari2024 #Borneo #Sabah #IsuzuMalaysia

Kia Malaysia offers 3 variants of the Carnival, with about RM50,000 separating the entry-level model from the mid-variant. The entry level model is an 11-seater while the mid-level is an 8-seater and the top of the line model is a 7-seater. In this video, we explain why the 11-seater variant is good enough already, which means you can save RM50,000.

The Kia Carnival 11-Seater Is Good Enough Already, Here's Why!
The world has adopted SUV's at an alarming rate. And who can blame buyers? SUV's just make a lot of sense. But that also means that big sedans are now being sacrificed as car makers flock to introduce more SUV's, which is a pity because sedans have their own charm as well. The Mazda 6 20th Anniversary model is a gentle reminder of how sedan's used to be. And we think that it might just be a better buy than an E-Class or a 5-Series if you can look past the badge. We explain why in this video. #Mazda #Mazda6 #MazdaMalaysia
