What brand has a lion as its logo?
3 Answers
The brand with a lion as its logo is Dongfeng Peugeot, which is a brand under the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd. Taking the 2020 Peugeot 408 10th Anniversary Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4750mm, width 1820mm, height 1488mm, with a wheelbase of 2730mm. The 2020 Peugeot 408 10th Anniversary Edition features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 130PS, a maximum power of 100kW, and a maximum torque of 230Nm, paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I remember often coming across French cars with a lion emblem when getting my car repaired before—that's the Peugeot brand. Their lion logo is quite interesting, originally stemming from a saw blade factory, with the lion trademark registered as early as 1882. Over time, the emblem has undergone 11 iterations. The current three-dimensional metal lion exudes a strong sense of power, and the fang design unmistakably carries a French romantic flair. Common models on the road, like the 408 and 5008 SUVs, all bear this emblem, and they've become even more prevalent since Dongfeng Peugeot started joint production in China. Once, at a used car market, I spotted an old 505 with an oxidized standing lion emblem on the front, yet its imposing presence remained undiminished from its heyday.
Last year, while helping my daughter with her car brand handout, I specifically researched the lion emblem. It belongs to Peugeot, a brand born in France as early as 1880. Each era's lion design carries historical significance—starting as a marching lion for weapon manufacturing, later evolving into a roaring lion. The most distinctive feature is how the emblem correlates with model positioning: the 308 uses a standing lion, while luxury models feature a left-facing walking lion. I recall owners joking that the emblem's direction reveals their car's tier, though the brand has clarified it symbolizes their progressive attitude.
