According to the latest news from DPCA, terminal sales in January 2022 were 13,000 units, and an increase of more than 85% over last year, ushering in the first month of the opening, of which the new Citroën Versailles C5 X naturally contributed to the smaller half of sales. Of course, Dongfeng Peugeot is not idle.
Previously, it was reported that Dongfeng Peugeot or will be a domestic new 308, and provide both sedan and hatchback versions, although it is known that even domestic may not be easy to sell, but it is hoped to be able to be domestic. Not only that, recently, according to our understanding, some media have exposed a new set of Peugeot 508 GT domestic real car maps, which can be expected to be a wave.
What is certain is that the new car will be built based on the latest Peugeot 508, which is equivalent to a sporty version, of course, and the Dongfeng Peugeot 508L in the domestic market is also highly similar. The dot-matrix medium grid grid with fang-type headlight group, Peugeot's classic design, the recognition is still very high.
As for the more obvious difference, it is that the four doors of the new car adopt a borderless glass door, a hatchback rear trunk cover, and a new large-size wheel hub and a bilateral exhaust layout with a total of four out, and the sporty atmosphere of the whole vehicle is quite in place.
In terms of power, overseas markets provide gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrid three power systems, of which the gasoline version uses a 1.2T three-cylinder + 8AT power combination, while the domestic Peugeot 508L is 1.6T four-cylinder and 1.8T four-cylinder engine, but if it is replaced by a three-cylinder engine, it will undoubtedly die in the Chinese market, at least for now.
But the problem now is that there is no official news about the new car, whether it is parallel import or domestic sales, it is not easy to say, and we refer to the price of the Peugeot 508 GT in the overseas market, 42200 euros, equivalent to 300,000 yuan, which is indeed not cheap.
Written at the end: Considering that the current Peugeot 508L cancels the bezel-less doors and hatchback trunk cover, and the sales volume is not high, what will happen to the higher priced 508 GT, plus frameless doors and hatchbacks? We'll see.
