Car Features - Same Car, Different Names: PSA Group

Next on the list is the PSA Group, which is the largest automotive group in France and the second overall. The group includes Peugeot, Citroen, DS Automobiles, and recently acquired Opel and Vauxhall. With a wide range of brands, badge engineering is the likely scenario to happen.

In order for a car to be counted on this list, the vehicle must have a different name using the same shell (exterior modifications are usually done) but sold under a different brand. And to avoid a super long list, we would limit vehicles which were launched from 1990s and above. Do take note the year range represents the entire vehicle line (including those of its twins) even if the original model was killed. In order to be listed, the base vehicle must be from a PSA Group subsidiary and includes the Eurovans which was a venture between PSA and Fiat (the facility that made these vans is fully owned by the French camp now).

For the largest French automobile brand, let us see which wore different badges.
