Now when it comes to the joint venture compact sedan, the Langyi, Corolla and Nissan Tianlai, which we talk about a lot, are all models that sell very well. In fact, there was once a model that had a good price-performance ratio like the above models, but the sales of this model in recent years were not high. In September, October, and November of this year, sales of 929 vehicles, 673 vehicles and 1000 vehicles were respectively, and sales were relatively sluggish, and this model was the Peugeot 408.
Peugeot 408 manufacturer guidance price of 119,700 yuan to 159,700 yuan, from its guidance price, and the above model is actually more similar, but this Peugeot 408 after the discount only 100,000 yuan starting price, should be said that the price is not high. So why is the sales of this car so low? Let's take a look at its overall design.
From the appearance of the design, the overall shape of the Peugeot 408 is actually more fierce, and the silver intake mesh is filled with intermittent chrome trims. In addition, it is equipped with eagle-eye headlights and a penetrating air intake net, which has good sporty properties.
From the side view, the entire body appears particularly low, especially the front of the car has a higher ground clearance, and the rear of the car is more obviously raised, so the dive feeling is very good, and this design also helps to reduce the wind resistance coefficient. The wheels of the Peugeot 408 are equipped with double five-frame sports wheels. Body data part, Peugeot 408 body data is much more beautiful than the above models, length, width and height are 4750/1820/1488mm, wheelbase is 2730mm, not only the appearance of the special atmosphere, the interior space is also excellent.
The tail of the model adopts the taillight design of the lion's claw shape, and is also equipped with a V-shaped tail line, which generally has a good sense of fashion, and does not use the current popular black taillight design, and the recognition of the lion's claw tail lamp is very high.
The interior of the Peugeot 408 presents a flowing water-like shape, the center console is not symmetrical, the central control part matches the embedded 9.7-inch touch screen, with satellite navigation and positioning system, Bluetooth telephone, mobile phone interconnection, voice recognition, Internet of Vehicles and other series of configurations, but most of these configurations are only on the flagship model, and the embedded design used also looks a little bit of age, because it is not conducive to taking a glance at the central control screen during the driving process.
The driving computer part is equipped with a full LCD color LCD dashboard, but this configuration is also equipped on high-end models, and low-end models are generally equipped with a dual-barrel dashboard design.
The peugeot 408's seats are leather designed, and have seat heating function, the configuration is very good, and the brown interior design looks very luxurious.
The biggest highlight of the Peugeot 408 is its rear seat space, special spacious, presumably the small partner has seen its wheelbase, coupled with the integration of leather seats, special softness. The area of the headrest is also very large, which can effectively support the head, but unfortunately, this Peugeot 408 series is not equipped with a panoramic sunroof, and even the entry-level model does not even have a sunroof. The rear row is equipped with a rear air conditioner outlet, PM2.5 filter, the configuration is good, but unfortunately the entry-level model is still not available.
Looking at the powertrain, the Peugeot 408 is equipped with a 1.2T and 1.6T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 136 hp and 170 hp, and a peak torque of 230 N·m and 250 N·m, respectively, matching a six-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a six-speed manual transmission. The biggest problem with this Peugeot 408 model is that its 1.2T power system is a three-cylinder engine, and many friends like to buy entry-level or sub-low-end models, which makes it difficult for consumers to choose. The chassis design of the Peugeot 408 is still the front McPherson independent suspension, the rear torque beam type non-independent suspension, although the adjustment level is very good, but consumers are uncomfortable from the book. As for the price/performance ratio, what do you think?
