Which car brand features a lion logo?
2 Answers
A car brand featuring a lion logo is Dongfeng Peugeot Automobile, which is a brand under the Dongfeng Peugeot Citroën Automobile Company Ltd. In October 2002, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the French PSA Group (Peugeot Citroën Group) signed an expanded cooperation joint venture contract, marking a powerful alliance between the two groups to fully implement a new blueprint for introducing the Peugeot brand into China, thus giving birth to Dongfeng Peugeot. Dongfeng Peugeot Brand Logo: The lion image is the logo of the Peugeot brand, first applied to Peugeot's saw blades in 1847, and by the mid-1880s, it evolved into the sole manufacturing trademark of Peugeot. As the symbol of the brand, for 150 years, all Peugeot products, past and present, have borne the lion mark. The lion can be seen on the hood or front grille of Peugeot cars. Dongfeng Peugeot Brand History: The French Peugeot Automobile Company has a long history, spanning over a century, and its automobile production history is second only to the automotive pioneer Daimler-Benz. However, unlike Daimler-Benz, its origins were not in the automotive industry. Before entering the automobile sector, Peugeot was involved in a wide range of products, including hardware tools, household appliances, crinolines, telescopes, springs for pince-nez glasses, saw blades, surgical instruments, shotguns, radios, sewing machines, and more. Before the advent of the automobile era, Peugeot also had a considerable production scale in bicycles, motorcycles, and transport trucks.
I've been researching car logos for a long time, and that lion head belongs to the Peugeot brand, a classic representative of French cars. The lion emblem has been used since the 19th century, symbolizing strength and speed. Originally, Peugeot manufactured tools and steel saws before transitioning to automobile production, which is quite an interesting story. In the Chinese market now, Dongfeng Peugeot jointly produces popular models like the Peugeot 408 and 5008, incorporating streamlined design elements. Among European cars, they are considered a cost-effective choice. As a car enthusiast, I've even collected posters of Peugeot's classic models. The lion logo is quite commonly exhibited in museums, being simple, easy to understand, and carrying a bit of a retro feel. Driving a Peugeot on the road definitely turns heads.
