Dongfeng Peugeot 408X "leaked" spy photos of the test car earlier. It can be seen that the rear shape of the real car is not covered. This time, the design of the whole vehicle is displayed, and some details of the interior are also displayed. Judging from the actual car in the official picture, the Dongfeng Peugeot 408X basically retains the design elements of the overseas version and has not undergone "localization transformation", which can enjoy the essence of French design more authentically.
Dongfeng Peugeot 408X's front face design is very stunning. The entire front face looks like a little lion ready to go. The dot matrix center grille has a gradual design effect, moving from all directions toward the car logo. The design of the lamp part is the most recognizable. The two LED daytime running lights look like two sharp front teeth, extending down from the headlights. It is very offensive and in line with the brand's own personality.
bumper are used on both sides of the, bumper , and its biggest function is also decorative properties and does not have the actual air intake function. However, the middle part has a very huge air intake grille, which is very sporty with the front lip design on the lower part. The only thing I am worried about is that this is also the location of the license plate. It is unknown whether it still has such a beauty after installing the official license plate. The properties of
Crossover are better displayed on the side. Putting aside the matte protective parts, the lines give a stronger sense of sportiness. The longer wheelbase and relatively low body make the 408X look even lower. With the hatchback design, it has the same visual effect as Hunting Car .
taillights are a few different places from prototype cars. The lighting of overseas versions has a more technological sense, and the design method of "paws" is also consistent with the new Peugeot model. The taillights of the domestic version are more conservative. Although they are still transparent lamp shells, the interior has been changed to a more conservative but horizontal bar design, which has no big impact on the appearance, but it is a little worse than the overseas version. The rest of the tail of
also echoes the overall style. The rear tailgate with a ducktail blends with the waistline of the car body, making it look thicker. The only dissatisfaction is that the plastic feel of the rear bumper is too strong, and the design of matte black with silver trim is not wrong, not only bringing a bit of cheapness to the rear of the car. The design of the interior part of
is basically the same as the overseas version. The embracing interior and irregular shape are quite creative. The cab atmosphere is very fighter-style, bringing a strong sense of futuristic. The central control screen has two different angles, which is convenient for driving and retains many physical buttons. The irregular steering wheel is also a traditional Peugeot design.
power, the overseas version has three different power systems: pure fuel, plug-in hybrid and pure electric. The mainstream model will be equipped with a 1.6T engine. The overseas version has two different training solutions. The maximum power of the low-power model is 150 horsepower, and the high-power model is 180 horsepower.
Summary
Dongfeng Peugeot 408X allows everyone to see the long-lost French design. Compared with the Citroen Versailles C5X, which also comes from France, the design of the 408X seems to be more acceptable. From the perspective of appearance design, this French car introduced with original flavor has shown enough sincerity, and it is difficult to find competitors with similar styles among models of the same level, which may be its advantage in introducing it to the domestic market. However, from another perspective, the 408X is still an unusual type. As a more popular model in French cars recently, whether it can retain its appearance advantages while bringing other surprises will need to wait for the test drive to get the answer.
