Stellantis Will Transfer Production of the Peugeot 2008 from Porto Real (RJ) to Argentina, Thus Stopping the Production of Passenger Cars in Brazil.
Stellantis made a strategic decision that will impact the positioning of Peugeot and Citroën in the country. From 2024, Peugeot will no longer produce passenger cars in Brazil.
With this change, the production of the Peugeot 2008, currently centered in Porto Real, Rio de Janeiro, will be transferred to Argentina, freeing up space for Citroën at the plant. Citroën plans to add the C3 Aircross to the production line, joining the C3 and C4 Cactus, which are already manufactured on site.
The departure of the Peugeot 2008 means that the French brand will only have one model manufactured in Brazil: the Partner Rapid, a utility derived from the Fiat Fiorino and produced by Stellantis in Betim.

The end of passenger car manufacturing in Brazil does not indicate the exit of Peugeot from the country. The brand maintains a strong portfolio across various segments, including electric vehicles such as the e-208 and e-2008, and does not intend to abandon the Brazilian market.
Our colleagues at Auto+ discovered that Peugeot may start a new phase of car manufacturing in Brazil with a new model: the 1008. It will be a smaller compact SUV than the 2008, made especially for emerging markets like Brazil. The launch date for this potential competitor to the Fiat Pulse has not yet been announced.
