To be honest, many domestic models have indeed won honor for domestic car companies. After all, at the forefront of the luxury car market, many domestic models can be seen, successfully breaking the monopoly of joint venture (imported) luxury cars. However, in the compact fuel sedan market, joint venture models are still mainly used. For example, in September this year, the top three sales were still Nissan Sylphy, Volkswagen Lavida, and Toyota Corolla . Not only that, the only independent models that successfully ranked among the top ten sales of compact fuel sedan market that month was Changan Yidong PLUS, and this car happened to be stuck in the tenth place. It can be seen that the joint venture car is still in the fuel compact sedan market.
However, not all joint venture compact cars can achieve good results in the compact sedan market, especially joint venture brand models that are already on the edge of the market, such as Peugeot 408. It is understood that Peugeot 408 has always been a special car in China. At first, sales were pretty good, but later it gradually became sluggish. Nowadays, a brand new model has been launched overseas and has been named Peugeot 408X. Moreover, the new car has been unveiled at the Paris Auto Show in October this year. It was originally scheduled to be unveiled at this year's Guangzhou Auto Show and will also be produced in China in the future. You should know that the Peugeot 408 is a compact sedan, while the Peugeot 408X is a compact crossover SUV. It can be seen that the product strength in all aspects will change considerably.
Peugeot 408X also incorporates a cross-border style in its appearance. The front of the car adopts a borderless dot-shaped divergent center grille, and is equipped with a new Lion logo in the middle. The high and low beams at both ends are one in front and one in the rear, and slender daytime running lights extend out of the outer edges to form a fang design, combining with the black bright plates on both sides of the front bumper, as well as a large black lower grille, deepening the sporty atmosphere and visual impact of the front of the car.
On the side of the car body, you can find that the roof shape is closer to the sloping back design. The rearview mirror, the window around the front and rear multi-spoke wheels are all blackened, and the waistline on the surface of the car body is also very sharp. If the front and rear door handles are hidden, the whole car will look smoother. Not only that, the new lion logo is also engraved on the front door of the new car, and the front and rear multi-spoke wheels are also very sporty, adding a lot of recognition. The taillights at the rear of the car adopt a continuous row design and are quite slender. The new Lion logo is embedded in the middle of the two taillights. The large-size black rear bumper also has red and white two-color reflective light strips at both ends. The whole vehicle design is indeed much younger.
In terms of interior, the lines at the center console and door panels on the new car are relatively sharp. The air outlet of the air conditioner is located above the central control screen, which is higher than the ordinary air conditioner outlet. The double-spoke multi-function sports steering wheel has a relatively unique shape. The LCD instrument screen at the front end is relatively flat and the font color displayed is easy to recognize. The central control screen on the right adopts an embedded design, with a size of just 10 inches. Compared with the screen sizes of other popular models in China in the same level, the Peugeot 408X is not large, but not small, so the technology in the car is also pretty good.
size, the new car's measurement is 4687/1848/1478mm and the wheelbase is 2787mm. To be honest, such measurement data is very similar to domestic compact cars, and it is not like the strength that an SUV should have. However, perhaps due to the influence of cross-border design, it does not affect the ride in the car. Moreover, the new car's wheelbase is close to 2.8 meters, and it has an advantage over the ordinary cars of the same level, and the chassis is also higher than that of ordinary cars. Whether it is for home transportation or traveling, it can also be adapted.
Summary: If the new Peugeot 408X enters the country with its original flavor, such a younger design is still easier to please young people. Moreover, although the interior space of this car is not small, its appearance is not very large, and it is more convenient to use cars in the city.In addition, the new car also provides plug-in hybrid system and fuel system respectively. The former has a battery capacity of 12.4kWh and an output power of 102kW. The latter is matched with an 8AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 150 horsepower and 180 horsepower respectively. The product strength is also relatively resistant to hits. So, do you think this car can sell well in the country?
