Linda Jackson aims to plot a narrow course between mass market and premium brands for Peugeot

Éanna Hardwicke on The Sixth Commandment: ‘It’s a devastating story. I’m just glad that it reached people’

Jackson, though, is adamant. “In terms of the Chinese brands, I’m certainly not knocking them. I’ve driven many of the products and they’re great vehicles. But for Peugeot, we need to be true to our values. What are we offering that’s different? And we believe that we’re offering a design that’s much sharper, much more distinctive. That’s our strength. We’re offering an interior experience which is different with the i-cockpit.

So we’re used to it, and sure we have 14 brands now in the group, but we’re very efficient about how we make use of all the technologies.

“Take the 205, for example, what made the 205 GTI so popular, what are the elements and the values that we could take and bring to today? I’m not planning to make high-performance vehicles and compete with all of these at the moment.
