We are really pleased to share that a number of our brands have been featured in the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2019, based on survey feedback in 16 areas from over 60,000 car owners.
Taking the overall New Car of the Year 2019 title was the Peugeot 3008 which was commended for its quality interior, coming in second for driving comfort and for the quality of its features and accessories.
