Peugeot likely to get the Ambassador first in India – EXCLUSIVE
Peugeot has plans to get the Ambassador brand to India. That is why it had purchased the Ambassador brand from Hindustan Motors. The French automaker that is setting up its base in Chennai, will be looking at getting the Ambassador as its first product in India. The company has already got the trademark for the Ambassador logo for the Indian market. The Peugeot seems to be making this is one of their important cars.
The Ambassador will be re-launched in India. This will return in its iconic form this time it seems. The design will be evolved and it will have curves. This should be based on an all new platform, new engines and technologies. It will be an all new vehicle and this will help Peugeot to reach out to audience at a faster pace.
Ambassador has been an iconic brand in India and very well versed too. We aren’t sure if the new Ambassador will be a Babu car too, but we do expect it to be extremely comfortable. The new characteristics of the Peugeot car will be agility, performance, mileage and technology. Peugeot and Citroen even have outstanding design, and it is expected to trickle down into the Ambassador too.

It might be a tad early to state anything about the exact design, launch date or even the pricing. But we are certain, it will be under Rs 10 lakhs and will be looking at making its own new segment. We do expect this vehicle to come with a petrol engine. Not sure about a diesel engine.
Peugeot should launch the Ambassador as a car similar to the Rolls Royce for ViPs and another version for the common man? I am sure the Ambassador brand will be a big hit and sell well globally if they are designed well at par with the European and Japanese cars. An SUV version and electric car will be a huge success. lets wait and watch.
