Preface
The test drive of this time is the Dongfeng Peugeot 308 1.2T Deluxe Edition. Maybe Peugeot fans who like this model can only go to the second-hand market to buy it. If you want a 1.2T power, it is still the three-cylinder engine , and the four-cylinder has a 1.6L naturally aspirated one. How does it feel when you open
? Is it still worth buying?
Appearance
Peugeot 308 As a compact sedan, the body size is 4590x1820x1488 mm. From the appearance, is a natural fusion of low-key and a sense of design in the legal system. People who don’t like French cars may not have any feelings about it, but people who like French cars will feel that it is full of charming design details everywhere.
Interior and space
interior design is mainly simple, and maintains the style of French cars that like to express the design sense, and the same flowers come to each other. The texture of the material can only be just right. Maybe it knows that the focus of the car owner is not here, but driving control. The wheelbase of
Peugeot 308 is 2675mm, which does not have great advantages in the same class. In fact, the front driving position space is normal, and the rear leg space is just enough. I believe that those who like this car also pay more attention to driving experience, and the focus is not how spacious the rear seat is.
Chassis Experience
test drive has been driving more than 10,000 kilometers. The Peugeot chassis is superior during driving and it feels relatively stable, but it may be due to the test drive, and the texture is not very exquisite. The suspension is mainly a hard sporty style, suitable for driver-loving control. The road noise is a bit too high, especially the road noise of the rear wheels can be heard in the rear row. When passing through poor road conditions quickly, the suspension shock absorption is relatively efficient and you can rush over with confidence. Of course, the shock absorption effect will be slightly inferior to the higher-level 4008, and it is not as comfortable as the previous 308S. Overall, the chassis has texture, but the sense of luxury is not very sufficient.
Power response
started with a slightly insufficient power, but you won’t feel this way after walking. This may also be an inevitable problem for the three-cylinder low-displacement engine. Both idle speed and low speed jitter are slightly lighter than 2008. When sudden acceleration is needed, the power response may not be as fast as the driver intends to do, but the need for driving control can be compensated through manual mode. During general driving, this 1.2T engine with a maximum power of 85kW (116Ps) and a maximum torque of is 190 (N·m) can still meet various acceleration needs for daily driving.
steering feel
Peugeot's small steering wheel has made people who love driving feel very pleasing since it came out, and used the design of looking at the instrument above the steering wheel. The steering wheel is light and flexible, with accurate direction, which is very enjoyable to drive.
summary
Peugeot 308 is very suitable for people who love driving, and their personality characteristics are also very obvious. If you find this kind of driving pleasure and the second-hand price is acceptable, you might as well consider buying it. In addition, I believe that manual transmission will be more fun.
