The Peugeot logo features a lion. Peugeot is a brand under Peugeot Automobile Company, a subsidiary of the French PSA Peugeot Citroën Group. Peugeot Automobile Company is a long-established European automobile manufacturer, with models such as the Peugeot 408, Peugeot 508, Peugeot 308, Peugeot 301, Peugeot 3008, and Peugeot 2008. The Peugeot 508 has a body length, width, and height of 4826mm, 1855mm, and 1465mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2815mm. It features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension with a transverse stabilizer bar. In terms of power, the Peugeot 508 offers two powertrains: a 2.0-liter engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2.3-liter engine paired with a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission. The 2.0L engine delivers a maximum power of 147 horsepower, while the 2.3L engine produces a maximum power of 171 horsepower.

I particularly love car logos featuring the lion emblem, with Peugeot being the most iconic representative. Its standing lion silhouette is simply classic—from the old three-dimensional metal lion to the current minimalist flat design, the core element has remained unchanged. Last time I saw a new 408 in the parking lot, the proud lion on the front grille paired with a black mesh looked especially spirited. Actually, apart from Peugeot, some modified cars or niche brands also use lion elements, but the one you see most often in daily life is definitely Peugeot. The French choice of a lion as their emblem is quite thoughtful, given that lions appear frequently in European noble crests, symbolizing strength and elegance—qualities that perfectly align with the essence of automobiles.

On the road, the lion emblem you see is mostly from Peugeot, and that upright lion silhouette is incredibly recognizable. When I was road-tripping in Europe, I noticed older Peugeot models had a metal lion sculpture standing on the hood, which felt super nostalgic. The current logo is much more streamlined, with a sleek lion head printed on the steering wheel, looking particularly refined. Fun fact: this emblem has evolved over a dozen times—the 1960s version even featured a lion on stilts, actually paying homage to the traditional craftsmanship of Peugeot's hometown, Montbéliard. By the way, newer models like the 508L use a frosted black background with an embossed effect for the logo, and the texture looks amazing up close.

Definitely Peugeot! They've been using this lion emblem since the 1950s. Old-school car enthusiasts surely remember the roaring lion on the 404 model, and now the new models feature a more minimalist yet sharper lion design. Lion elements aren't very common in the automotive world, but Peugeot's design perfectly blends animal wildness with industrial precision. During my last service, the technician mentioned that Peugeot's new electric models now feature bronze-trimmed badges with futuristic nighttime illumination effects. Beyond sedans, their newly launched e-3008 SUV even sports an oversized lion emblem on the tailgate.
