is an old friend who is very familiar to us. No matter which city you are walking in, you will see an Peugeot 408 passing by you from time to time. Looking at the Peugeot 408, which has been standing on the hot streets and alleys, and has been updated to the current "Lion King" logo, it is inevitable to sigh that time is fleeting.
8 Time Peugeot 408 grew from a little lion to a lion king, from global sharing to special supplies in China, from classic French aesthetics to modern lion soul aesthetics, from 120,000-170,000 yuan in 2010 to 105,700-121,700 yuan in 2022, we have witnessed the growth of this car in quality and the "reversal" changes in price.
Lion Soul aesthetics is quite Chinese
The classic French cars that everyone is familiar with generally use more rounded lines as the theme of the body. Not to mention anything else, just take the 2010 408 as an example. Whether it is its headlights or the rounder curve above the hood, it gives people a gentle and elegant feeling, so that consumers who bought 408 at that time also included a large number of people aged 40 and above.
From the new Peugeot 408, you can clearly feel that it is very different from the classic French aesthetics. First of all, it is sharp and very muscular, which makes the entire body exude the typical young technology atmosphere of Hyundai . For example, its star-moving dot matrix grille and the lion-eye LED headlights all vividly interpret the powerful aura of the lion's competition in the wilderness. The sharp fangs LED daytime running lights are scratched under the sharp design symbols, which directly fills the recognition of the car body. The design of
not only highlights the lion soul aesthetics maintained by the entire body, but also enhances the visual width of the body, sweeping away the gentleness of the 2010 model 408 and the stingy and dullness of the 2020 model 408. The rest is very consistent with the current Chinese market consumers' aesthetic fighting atmosphere and future technology bilateral blessings plus a little ancestral business sense. It is no wonder that the new Dongfeng Peugeot 408 can become a special supply in China.
Cockpit with track genes
In order to implement the youthful atmosphere of sports to the end, the interior of the new Peugeot 408 adopts the family-owned i-Cockpit cockpit design with family track gene inheritance. Among them, the concept of layered design of the center console is relatively rare in the current automobile market. This design allows us to "stay away from the disc and keep our eyes away from the road" when driving and handling, thereby ensuring safety during driving.
But, the new 408 has replaced the new multi-function racing steering wheel and the standard 12-inch LCD instrument cluster for the entire series make you feel like you are in a supercar, so in a real driving environment, you can't control your passion to downshift and step on the accelerator. On the other hand, there is indeed a certain amount of insecurity factor added to it.
Of course, the new 408 has not completely given up the comfort of daily car use because of the strong sports atmosphere. In terms of seats, the new 408 did not follow the current sporty style and chose tighter wrapped seats, but chose looser traditional seats. The largest body of the same class with a length, width and height of 4750/1820/1488mm, and the ultra-long wheelbase of 2730mm have further optimized the driving space of the entire vehicle.
