There are many ways for car manufacturers to make their products in demand by consumers. In addition to superior features and tempting promos, various promising programs are claimed to benefit potential buyers.
One of them is related to the point of car maintenance costs or known as the cost of ownership as long as owning a car for a certain period.
This is not a secret because it is often done by car manufacturers from Japan, Korea, China and others. You could say the cost of ownership is identical to the manufacturer above.
Peugeot also breaks that assumption. To be precise, the figure of the New Peugeot 5008 is able to overturn public opinion. French Premium SUV is able to provide astonishing data.
At the 2022 Gridoto Award, the New Peugeot 5008 was able to win the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the Big SUV category. This event was managed by the leading and largest digital automotive media in the country, namely GridOto.com.
New Peugeot 5008 is able to provide the best vehicle maintenance data. The TCO category for vehicles with the best cost of ownership in the Big SUV class is IDR 100,318/day.
What's more, the Peugeot SUV variant from Europe is the only vehicle that has succeeded in shifting its rivals. Of course, after getting the best score, the results of the 3 variables are used as an element of assessment.
"The Peugeot 5008 has been named the winner of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) category of IDR 100,318/day based on 3 variables. Among them are the average consumption of fuel, vehicle tax and maintenance costs for 1 year. Then the total cost is divided to get the cost per day. Interestingly, the Peugeot 5008 is free of maintenance for quite a long time," said Achmad Suhendra, Editor of GridOto as the Project Officer for the TCO category.
The achievement of the award for the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) category for one of the Peugeot variants, namely the 5008, apart from the Peugeot 3008 and 2008, is clearly very encouraging. Moreover, after so long enlivening the automotive market in the country, the brand under the banner of PT Astra Internasional finally won the prestigious GridOto Award 2022.
And the emblem as a European car is able to get the Total Cost of Ownership award for the first time in Indonesia, it deserves to be pinned. And the New Peugeot 5008 answers that need.
