Peugeot was founded in 1810, making it the oldest car manufacturer in the world.

More recently, Peugeot merged with Fiat Chrysler to create Stellantis in 2021, a parent company that includes other successful car brands such as Citroen, Jeep, Maserati and Alfa Romeo. That same year, Peugeot won several awards at the CarWow Car of the Year Awards, one of which was the prestigious Manufacturer Award.
