Today to talk about a French mid-size car, when it comes to mid-size cars, we think of more Toyota Asian Dragon, Honda Accord, Volkswagen Passat, Buick LaCrosse and other models, these are the leaders in this market. Some of the former powerful models have begun to slowly fade out of people's vision, such as Ford Mondeo and Peugeot 508, and today we are going to talk about exactly the Peugeot 508. Why is this model out of people's sight? Logically, there are many small partners who praise it on the Internet, but the annual sales of this model last year were only 8791 units, and even last February sales were only 770 vehicles, which was too low.
In fact, as a mid-level car, the price of the Peugeot 508 is not expensive, 159,700 to 224,700, and has a good price discount at the terminal, and the actual starting price of less than 150,000 yuan should still be very competitive.
From the perspective of appearance design, the overall styling design is actually relatively fashionable, the fang-shaped headlights have a fairly good visual tension, and the headlights on both sides are connected by the blackened intake net, and the sharpness is created well. In addition, the new car adopts the design of the upper and lower double intake air mesh, which is conducive to cooling down the hot engine compartment as soon as possible.
I think the side of the model is the most beautiful place for this Peugeot 508, the body is slender, the wheel shape is also in place, and the details are also very good, and the chrome trim strip in the C-pillar position extends backwards, creating a good sense of refinement.
The tail is designed in a family style, and the through-type taillights are actually used for decoration. In the body data part, peugeot 508 is a medium-sized car, and the length, width and height are also more mainstream, which are 4870/1855/1455mm and the wheelbase is 2848mm.
Let's look at the design of the car, in fact, into the interior of this Peugeot 508 model, my first feeling is that the vision of this Peugeot 508 is really good, better than many Japanese cars, German cars or American cars, the overall feeling is very transparent, and the blind area is very small. The front windshield and the sides are very open, which is a great help in improving our safety during driving. The air conditioner outlet of the new car through, as well as the chrome trim strip plus metal buttons, the fashion sense is more prominent.
The central control part is equipped with a 10-inch floating LCD screen, which supports mobile phone interconnection and also supports the Internet of Vehicles system. The driving computer screen is equipped with a full LCD 12.3-inch color screen, and the fashion sense is well created. However, some car owners reported that the steering wheel position of the Peugeot 508 and the position of the driving computer screen overlapped, so it was not particularly convenient to watch the speed on the driving computer during driving.
The seats are designed in leather, and the comfort of the ride is of course very good, but we must also accept that the new car entry model uses fabric seats, and if you want to buy a new car with leather seats, the starting price has reached 175,700, and this configuration is not yet equipped with a reversing image. The rear seat space is relatively spacious, if you buy a leather seat configuration, the ride comfort is also very high, then we look at the power system.
The Peugeot 508 is powered by a 1.6T and 1.8T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 170 hp and 211 hp, and a peak torque of 250 N·m and 300 N·m. This Peugeot 508 is not equipped with hybrids, the entire series only needs 92 gasoline, and the gearbox is a six-speed automatic transmission.
As for the chassis design, the use of the so-called magic carpet of the chassis four-wheel independent suspension, it can be seen that the Peugeot 508 is still very thick.
In fact, the manufacturer will be the entry-level model configuration pulled down, even if the low price to attract consumers does not have any meaning, see the shabby configuration, consumers will not place an order at all. I have a way, at this time do not consider the profit, the configuration will be full, first seize the sales and then say, what do you think?
