Carmart Introduces Attractive Offer on Peugeot SUVs for Permit Holders 

Colombo, Wednesday 17th July 2019: Carmart (Pvt) Ltd, the sole distributor in Sri Lanka for the world-renowned European vehicle brand Peugeot has introduced an attractive and one-of-a-kind offer. New buyers – both permit holders as well as full duty purchasers – of Peugeot 3008 and 5008 SUVs will be entitled to 3 years / 60,000km of maintenance entirely free of charge (subject to terms & conditions). This includes all parts, consumables, and associated labour, engine oil, filters, battery; brake pads, wiper blades, and even tyres.

Speaking on the offer Director/Chief Executive Officer of Carmart, Yasendra Amerasinghe said, “There is a market perception in Sri Lanka that maintaining European vehicles is considerably more expensive compared with vehicles from other countries. This offer is designed to allay those concerns. Combined with the comprehensive 3 year / 60,000km manufacturer’s warranty from Peugeot, it means that our customers would only need to pay for fuel and insurance for 3 years. This is an unprecedented offer in the auto industry in Sri Lanka”.


The 3008 and 5008 accounted for 300 sales in 2018 alone, despite import restrictions being imposed by the Government in October, thereby marking Peugeot SUVs the most popular European brand-new SUV range in Sri Lanka.

Peugeot’s SUV models have won many international awards, including “Carbuyer’s Best Medium SUV 2019”, the Driver Power’s ‘Car of the Year 2018’ and the ‘Gold Winner – Mid-Sized SUV 2018’ in the 16th Driver Power survey. The modern and sporty Peugeot 3008 SUV has won 63 awards worldwide and was voted Car of the Year 2017 by 58 European journalists from 22 countries.

The Peugeot 3008 offers a unique blend of style, comfort and road handling. The spectacular Peugeot i-Cockpit® is state-of-the-art and gives new meaning to being in the driver’s seat.

It also offers several driving aids and other high-tech equipment, as well as seamless connectivity. Moreover, European brands in general have more appeal among customers for its prestige, comfort and safety. Peugeot in particular scores highly on all three of these fronts coupling superior design with maximum comfort and safety in mind.
