Peugeot Oman Launches Latest Peugeot 3008

Peogeut 3008

This summer the Sultanate of Oman will be able to experience first-hand the advantages and pleasure of driving the all-new Peugeot 3008, a realization of a concept incorporating spaciousness and compactness into one unique vehicle.

The Peugeot 3008 will be introduced this summer and all those who purchase it will receive a 5 year warrantee which will not be limited by any number of kilometers which will be driven.

Crossover Between Hatchback and SUV

The 3008 is a crossover vehicle, meaning that it shares many of the qualities of a compact hatchback car together with those of an SUV. Aside from relying on these tried and true driving concepts, the 3008 adds some new and innovative ideas to its design, such as Dynamic Rolling Control, Hill Assist, Head-up Display, and more.

The general manager of Peugeot Oman, Bob Seshadri explained why he is so excited by the Peugeot 3008:

“The Peugeot 3008 is the perfect choice for motorists in Oman looking for a SUV feel, but not to be used off-road. The 3008 offers the urban driver all the safety and performance aspects that are inherent to its category, both active and passive, however with a spectacular competitive advantage: the ability to save a huge amount of the fuel consumption associated with other SUVs.

“Moreover such a distinction will definitely appeal to today’s socially responsible driver, allowing him to exercise his commitment toward a better environment.”

Sales of Chevy Cars in Middle East Up 9.2% in 2010

Chevrolet’s popularity is soaring in the Middle East as new models and old standards continue to sell, in many cases with double digit growth figures. For instance, the latest cars entering the market in the region are the Cruze, Malibu, Camaro and Traverse, which are all selling well. Full size SUVs and popular pick-up trucks which have always been favorites of Middle Easterners, are selling to double-digit figures.  A big favourite, the Suburban, which is one of  Chevy's oldest models with 75 years behind it, charted growth of 56% in 2010. Others models also doing well are the Tahoe with a 14% growth, the Avalanche at 39% increased sales, and an amazing 74% growth for the Silverado.

These sales figures for 2010 only confirm what most denizens of the Middle East already know: that Chevrolet is a wildly popular car company among citizens of the region.
