Citroen leaving Australia after more than 100 years, importer focusing on Peugeot

AutoExec Summary
French car brand Citroen will no longer be available in local showrooms as the brand’s distributor focuses on its more successful sibling, Peugeot. Inchcape Australia has announced that new Citroen orders will close by November 1, 2024. After fulfilling all orders, the operation will transition to service-only across its 35 existing service centres. Citroen orders made before November 1 will come with a five-year warranty, capped-price servicing, and service plans. The decision to cease new vehicle sales was made after considering market trends and consumer demands. Citroen’s departure marks the end of a 100-plus year presence in Australia, with Peugeot being the more successful brand in recent years.
