One of the reasons why car culture is full of charm is its diversity and unlimited possibilities. Whether it's a racing car speeding on the race track or a classic car that flashes through the streets and alleys, it is part of the diversity of car culture, and car modification is one of the most creative and personalized branches.
There are also many kinds of modifications, such as power modifications for speed, interior modifications for more comfortable rides, modifications for appearances with more personalized appearances, and so on. This time, we tried to make a functional and visual modification for the camping lifestyle, and the protagonist of this modification was the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008.
French cars have never lacked a sense of design
The reason for choosing this model is more because of its overall appearance full of personality. The new Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 inherits the peugeot family's latest lion soul aesthetic design, whether it is the lion's roar-style front face outlined under the lion's eye headlights, or the lion's claw taillights with visual impact and wild beauty, as well as the fierce and changeable leaping waistline, all of which reflect the unique design language that can be interpreted by "French romance".
Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 also draws on the inspiration of bionics, integrating the unique momentum and spirit of the lion that is ready to go into the appearance of the vehicle, and only in this unique design can it highlight the personality pursued by the modification culture.
The integrated i-Cockpit cabin is also a reason for us to choose the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008, whether it is the piano buttons with high-quality metallic texture, or the high-end leather and Alcantara materials within reach in the overall cockpit, which can make people instantly feel the beauty of French dynamics.
All along, whether it is rally or Le Mans, Peugeot has a very brilliant record on the field, and they will continue to apply the experience gained on the field to the production car, so peugeot models have a very strong racing gene and sporty characteristics.
The Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 is equipped with Bosch Version 9.3 electronic stability system, which can better stabilize the body and control the traction of the vehicle to prevent the drive wheel from slipping, and is also equipped with an enhanced Grip Control multi-road condition adaptation system, which provides users with five road driving modes for users to choose from. Although I didn't plan to drive it for hardcore off-roading, having a certain ability to get out of trouble would also be very helpful for the camping experience later.
Co-branding
Professional things naturally have to be handed over to professional people to do, we quickly got the help of friends, he is a professional outdoor camping master - "Boundless Living Room Uncle Lie", in Weibo and Xiaohongshu and other platforms are the big V of the camping industry, more importantly, Uncle Lie himself is a designer.
Uncle Lie first designed a logo for us with a co-theme, which was inspired by the chemical structural formula of dopamine. As we all know, dopamine will convey excitement and happiness messages, a variety of link methods are suitable for a wider range of application scenarios, but also represent the Dongfeng Peugeot, "Qi Yu Time", "Boundless Living Room • Uncle Lie" joint production of a variety of chemical reactions, showing the diversification of vehicle use in our lives.
Immediately after that, Uncle Lie worked with us on the design of the whole vehicle body painting. In terms of color, we integrated the official design concept from Peugeot Sport Engineering, using different depths and different levels of gray to create dynamic lines of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 in light and shadow, and also increased the visual width of the vehicle. The iconic bright green embellishment from Peugeot's official high-performance models further demonstrates the sporty temperament of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008. With the professional blessing of professionals, the camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 immediately changed a new look.
Functional improvements
Of course, the theme of this modification is camping, so the necessary camping equipment is also an important modification project that this camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 cannot or lack. After some discussions with uncle Lie, who is experienced in the outdoors, we gradually have a direction that we want to expand in terms of functionality.
We have installed a roof tent and side shading tent for this camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008, which can provide more comfortable and comprehensive functional support for future camping and long-distance travel.
The high-illumination LED headlights on the roof are also a very useful equipment for outdoor camping, providing a brighter and more open view in the field where lighting equipment is lacking, and creating more joyful atmosphere in the campsite with a variety of colors.
The final step is to install a rear frame that can be removed at any time for the camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008, which is also to allow us to bring the company's "big tide play" - Super 73 electric car. In fact, the role of the Super 73 is not only to make our camping life more of an entertainment, but more importantly, the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 that "carries" the Super 73 looks more handsome!
Dedicated campervan, built for camping
Now that our camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 has been completed, the next step is to drive it to "escape" the city, enter nature, and experience the camping life brought by a special campervan, so as to truly verify the effectiveness of this modification.
After the Spring Festival, we will invite Uncle Lie to drive this camping version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 to have a camping trip and start a new camping season that belongs to us.
Stay tuned!
