Want to buy a cost-effective joint venture B-class car, the American camp of Buick Regal and Chevrolet Mai Ruibao XL can be described as one of the best, large terminal discounts and design, power output are in line with the needs of young consumers, which is obviously the reason why they are concerned, in fact, in addition to the above two American models, from the French Peugeot hand of the 508L, is also the leader in the same type.
For the exterior design of the Peugeot 508L, it can be said that it has fully attracted the attention of young consumers. Based on the Exalt concept car, the overall presentation of a strong fashion sports style, although the domestic model in order to better meet the domestic consumers for the space requirements, canceled the overseas version of the slipback design and frameless doors, but the high value is still the true portrayal of itself.
In terms of the front face, the whole has a high degree of family recognition, similar to the shield-shaped chrome grille, with a combination of fangs on both sides of the headlights, showing a full movement attack atmosphere. In addition, from the middle and high-end version, it is equipped with LED near and far light headlights, and also supports automatic headlights and steering auxiliary lights.
On the side of the body, the cancellation of the back design makes it look more slender and atmospheric, although it is less athletic, but with the performance of the 4870mm length, coupled with the waistline design that runs through the body, it creates a strong atmosphere and slender atmosphere. As for the tail shape, it has played a corresponding effect with the front face, the biggest highlight is concentrated in the tail light part, the exquisite tail light shape, while the blackening treatment, especially after the night lighting, combined with the lower bilateral double exhaust layout, can even give us an illusion of a performance car.
Friends familiar with Peugeot know that don't look at recognition and sales have always been its own hard wounds, but it has a high achievement in interior design and texture creation, and this Peugeot 508L is naturally no exception. The fighter-style cockpit, the suspension-style flat-bottomed motion steering wheel, and the piano-style central control function buttons, under the accumulation of these elements, both the visual experience and the actual touch, have reached the level of leapfrogging. Here is not tout peugeot 508L interior, throughout the current level of the market, can have Peugeot 508L this kind of interior design aesthetics of the competitors are really not much. In addition to the innovative shape, the large area of leather material wrapped in it, coupled with the embellishment of imitation carbon fiber trim panels and silver and white decorative strips, also meets the requirements of young consumers in terms of texture creation.
In terms of configuration, from the standard point of view, the performance of the Peugeot 508L is not outstanding, only equipped with the main passenger seat airbag, rear parking radar, keyless start and other basic safety practical configuration, Although the 10-inch LCD display and the 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard are also standard, the lack of many other practical safety features is difficult to meet the daily needs of consumers, but considering the starting price of 159,700 yuan, it is acceptable, after all, the low-end version is not the model that Peugeot 508L wants to go.
From the perspective of balanced and comprehensive analysis, personally recommend the 2022 508L 400THP PureTech driving control version, the official guidance price is 189,700 yuan, in addition to the better power of the 1.8T engine, the configuration has also been greatly improved, in addition to the front side airbags, front and rear head airbags, active braking, car with deviation warning and other more perfect safety configuration, reversing image, cruise control, can open the panoramic sunroof, the main passenger seat electric adjustment and other functions to join, It can also better guarantee our driving experience.
In terms of power, the whole series is equipped with two engines, 1.6T and 1.8T, with a maximum power of 170 horsepower and 211 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 250N·m and 300N·m, respectively, matching the six-speed manual and eight-speed manual transmission. The suspension part, using the front McPherson type independent suspension and the rear multi-link independent suspension, is more accepted by domestic consumers than the rear suspension layout of the torsion beam of the old model in the past.
Actually opened, whether it is the 1.6T version or the 1.8T version, the power output has a good performance, especially the 1.8T version, which matches the well-tuned eight-speed manual transmission, which can basically do whatever you want. In addition, good handling is also a highlight of the Peugeot 508L, precise steering and soft and hard suspension support, in terms of driving texture, it is much stronger than the previous test drive of the same class of The Accord.
Summary: The high-value design and excellent handling became the reason why I paid for the Peugeot 508L. However, due to the low brand awareness and recognition, it has problems such as small ownership and low retention rate in the later stage, which is also a hard injury of Peugeot 508L. Personally, if you are a joint venture B-class car that does not value retention rate, but wants to buy a joint venture B-class car with high appearance and strong product strength, then it is right to start with the Peugeot 508L.
