Once upon a time, French cars were unlimited in the domestic market, and they played a big role in the joint venture camp to achieve a win-win situation of share and word of mouth. However, with the change of the competitive situation, it appears to be hindsighted, not only the living space is constantly compressed by the opponent, but also the influence is gradually declining. However, in recent times, French cars seem to have slowed down, Dongfeng Citroen has successfully exited the circle by relying on the Versailles C5 X, and has also achieved considerable sales in the case of high topicality, selling more than 5,000 vehicles last month, showing tenacious competitiveness. As a result, many people have re-examined the future of French cars, and they may be able to get out of the predicament, get rid of the delisting problem, and re-engage in the market war.
Seeing that Citroen has fought a beautiful turnaround battle, Peugeot is not far behind, and wants to dispel the current haze and recover the lost consumer groups. According to the latest news, the new generation of Peugeot 308 will be officially produced next year, which will inevitably trigger heated discussions from many parties. In fact, the car was first unveiled overseas as early as half a year ago, and it performed well in terms of word-of-mouth, becoming the preferred model for many people when buying a car. In fact, although it seems to be weakening in China, peugeot still has considerable influence in Europe. It hopes to open up sales with new cars and recreate the glory of the past.
From the appearance point of view, the new generation of Peugeot 308 focuses on sports fashion style, and the main group is young consumers. The car is the first model to use Peugeot's new flat LOGO, which not only has a new look in appearance, but also represents the brand's attitude and determination to start again. The oversized polygon net in the front part of the face is very eye-catching, giving people a strong visual impact. The dot-matrix chrome-plated structure adds a lot of refinement, creating a noticeable gradient effect, which increases recognizability. Led daytime running lights extend from both sides to the bottom of the bumper, which is not only very visually impactful, but also worthy of recognition in terms of penetration ability. The sports atmosphere of the trapezoidal grille below is quite strong, and the low lying posture will be more favored.
Coming to the side, the new generation of Peugeot 308 is more compact, highlighting the dive posture at the same time, the front and rear proportions are also more coordinated and elegant. The new car uses a segmented waistline to enhance the sense of layering, the side window lines are significantly narrowed backwards, and the roof is relatively low, so it also reveals a hint of "small steel cannon" attributes, which seems to be full of confidence in performance. The outer rearview mirror shape is more slender, which can provide a better viewing field of view, which is convenient for accurately grasping the road conditions behind. The new style blackened double five-spoke aluminum alloy wheels are full of dynamics and look excellent during driving. The new car enhances its appeal with a three-stage lamp shell layout, which is more aggressive and eye-catching than the through-line taillight group. The linear marker light is more three-dimensional when turned on, and the full rear surround complements each other. The car also added a lot of black trim at the bottom, which is aggressive.
Inside the car, the new peugeot 308 did not disappoint in the interior part, continuing the brand's consistently high standards. Its main sci-fi style in the cockpit layout, the layered layout is not only excellent ornamental, but also the distinction between the functional areas is reasonable, and the driving experience is improved. Although the embedded central control screen may be slightly more general in size, the clarity and sensitivity are very good, which can bring a better human-computer interaction experience. The new multi-functional steering wheel is comfortable to hold and integrated with the lever-type gear shift mechanism, so you can show off your driving skills. Individual models will be equipped with full LCD instruments, and the UI interface is designed with bold colors to facilitate a clear grasp of the vehicle's rich information. However, its performance in intelligent driving assistance is not yet clear, and it is not known whether it will bring surprises before it is officially listed. The car does not have to worry about space, can expand a large range of motion in a limited size, and the storage capacity is at the forefront of the same class of models to meet basic household needs.
The power aspect is a major attraction of the new generation of Peugeot 308, and it will also be the key to its more living space. At present, the overseas version of the model offers three options, of which the 1.2T fuel version and the 1.5T diesel version adhere to the traditional route, and the fuel economy has been significantly improved. The 1.6T plug-in hybrid version is to keep up with the development trend of the times, the power output is more abundant, and the switching between the engine and the motor is more silky and smooth, especially in the initial stage, it can get a rapid boost, and there is a sense of push back. It is expected that after localization, the new generation of Peugeot 308 will retain the two major versions of 1.2T and 1.6T plug-and-mix, and the performance level is at the middle and upper level of competing models, which will not disappoint everyone. Overall, the new car is worthy of praise in terms of appearance, the interior configuration is also relatively good, the power system is quite powerful, and the competitiveness should not be underestimated. If it can control the price within 100,000 after localization, then its attractiveness will be even better, and it is expected to hand over an eye-catching report card in terms of sales.
