This year, the automotive industry is facing unprecedented and cruel challenges, such as lack of cores, production cuts, and rising raw material prices. The continuous acceleration of the process of "new four modernizations" of automobiles also means that "industrial change" is always staged in major car companies, whether it is products, marketing or concepts and strategies, they are facing multi-dimensional transformation and upgrading.
After the epidemic raging to the resumption of work and production and then the performance of the contrarian upward trend, Dongfeng Peugeot in Wuhan is undoubtedly a very representative member of this great change. From January to December this year, Dongfeng Peugeot sold 51,056 vehicles, an increase of 74% year-on-year, far exceeding the overall growth rate of the industry and accounting for more than half of the overall sales of Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobile in 2021.
Sales of flagship models such as the new 4008/5008 and 508L 2022 continued to grow after the launch, and dealer profits increased significantly year-on-year. Behind this, it is inseparable from the brand from the car thinking, product design, marketing promotion and intelligence and other multi-dimensional comprehensive upgrade and change, and Peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang Edition, is the key to open the new French quality of life.
Know your French sophistication better
Peugeot 4008 Creator Edition, just from the name to know its origin. At present, "user co-creation" is the most popular concept in the automotive circle, and Dongfeng Peugeot, which has been practicing the concept of "customer-centric", will inevitably keep up with the trend of the times. In terms of new product research and development, design, we will listen more to the opinions of users and create a "new French-style SUV" that caters to the needs of Chinese users.
As a new version of the model, the Peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang Edition has added an iceberg blue color scheme in the body color. The color of this healing system, gentle, romantic and very pure, caters to the aesthetics of young consumers at this stage, and highlights the unique personality charm of French cars.
In terms of overall appearance, the lion roar front face is still unforgettable, and the family's latest star-moving dot matrix borderless front grille is domineering and exquisite. The sharp lion's eye LED headlights with fang-type LED daytime running lights highlight the youthful and uninhibited sense of youth.
On the side of the body, under the mutual background of the black door guard plate + suspended black diamond roof, it creates a rich sense of layering and rounded and full visual effects. The addition of electric adjustment exterior mirrors with LED turn signals also further enhances the sense of premium of the whole vehicle. The tail lights of the lion's claw at the rear of the car echo the front face, which is quite exquisite and atmospheric, with a higher degree of recognition and high-grade sense.
In general, although this generation of 4008 has been on the market for nearly 5 years, its design, front and rear headlight shapes, and overall lines and contours, placed in today's highly homogenized automotive market, it still looks more fashionable and design-like than many newly listed SUV models, which is the unique charm of the Peugeot 4008 Creative Edition.
A tech cockpit that's consistent on the surface
Just like the Internet buzzword of "good-looking skin bags are the same, interesting souls are one in a thousand miles", I am very grateful that peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang Edition not only brings us a delicate high-value appearance, but also brings us an interesting soul.
With the i-Cockpit's forward-looking design concept, it's hard to find the combative atmosphere and tech atmosphere of the 4008 on other models in the same class.
The unique design of the small racing multi-function steering wheel, yacht-style electronic gear lever, and the central control piano arrangement buttons, under the background of the new red diamond-shaped sports-style stitched leather seats, exudes a full sense of high-grade and sporty everywhere.
In terms of intelligent interconnection, the new car adopts a combination of 12.3-inch LCD screen + 10-inch color central control screen as standard in the whole series, and is equipped with a new generation of intelligent networking system Blue-i 2.0. Support the latest CarPlay and CarLife functions, set intelligent voice, online navigation, infotainment and other functions in one, more mainstream intelligent configuration of the new interactive experience to lay a solid foundation.
The new front row main co-driver electric seat and the whole car power window one-button lift and other configuration upgrades, but also quite a lot of increase in the meaning of no price increase. It is not difficult to see that whether it is intelligent interconnection or comfort configuration, peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang edition is very rich, fully meeting the needs of young consumers for intelligent multi-scenario cars.
Master chassis, comfortable to handle both
If the achievements in intelligent interconnection and comfort configuration are only the basic skills of the Peugeot 4008 Creative Edition, then the control performance is its best play. There are often models on the market that use torque beams and non-independent suspension, but there are not often models that use century-old master chassis tuning, which is the unique charm of Dongfeng Peugeot.
Peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang Edition adopts a suspension combination of front McPherson type + rear torque beam, and its unique feature lies in the three hard core technologies of Dongfeng Peugeot's original torque beam: closed variable section rear beam, double rubber bushing and second-order buffer block. With the blessing of the champion genes of the three major events for more than 120 years, it has achieved five leading positions in terms of smoothness, process, strength, weight and space.
In the daily driving process, its minimum turning radius is the smallest 5.3m in the same level, with small bending, accurate precision and more flexible control. Empowered by massive data and unique tuning skills, passengers have a rounded sense of impact and a significant improvement in the driving experience.
From a technical point of view, compared with independent suspension, the non-independent suspension of the torque beam can also obtain more rear space. The peugeot 4008 Chuangyi Edition has a flat floor design in the rear, and even when fully occupied, the comfort of the intermediate passengers is fully guaranteed.
In summary, the handling and comfort of the torque beam of the Dongfeng Peugeot car has exceeded the four links and even better than some five links. It is compatible with excellent comfort performance and vehicle handling, and the well-known chassis texture has long been recognized and loved by lion fans.
Golden power, extraordinary driving pleasure
Of course, with excellent handling performance, how can there be a lack of strong power reserves to cooperate with each other. In the past, affected by the policy of halving the purchase tax of the displacement of the purchase tax below 1.6, most manufacturers had engine displacements of either less than 1.6L or more than 2.0L, and the power and fuel economy lacked a compromise option.
Therefore, the combination of peugeot 4008 Chuangxiang Edition standard 8AT gearbox + 400THP engine can be called a golden power-like existence. The 1.8T engine has a maximum power of 155 kW and a maximum torque of 300 N·m with dual continuous variable valve timing technology and a new electronically controlled turbocharger.
Matched by Aisin's 8-speed Tiptronic hand-operated transmission, the eight forward gears have a wider gear ratio for a smooth and efficient driving experience. With the help of the new TCU transmission control unit, the shift logic is clearer and the response speed is faster.
In standard mode, the upshift is more aggressive, resulting in a minimum fuel consumption of 6.2L per 100 km; in sport mode, the transmission can quickly downshift to provide users with a strong power output by closely following the pedal depth of the throttle. Such a combination of power that understands the driver's intentions must be worthy of the title of "golden power".
Whether it is power performance, smoothness or fuel economy, the Peugeot 4008 Travaux Edition can be said to exceed consumer expectations. Combined with the excellent handling and comfort of the master chassis, users can enjoy extraordinary driving pleasure.
