For many consumers who are ready to buy a medium-sized car for home use, Dongfeng Peugeot 508 is indeed a good choice object, in terms of design, power, configuration and space performance, Dongfeng Peugeot 508 has a good product force. Today, we also visited a Dongfeng Peugeot 4S store in Beijing, for the sales of Peugeot 508 in the terminal market to make a general understanding, for the current cost performance of this car also has a certain judgment, let's talk about this matter together. At the same time, there is also a point to talk about, for consumers who are ready to buy a joint venture brand mid-size sedan, how should they choose between the Peugeot 508 and the Volkswagen Passat, which has always been popular in the same class?
Beijing can be discounted up to 30,000 yuan, what color can be bought to preserve value?
The Peugeot 508 sold almost 2,000 units last month, which is a good achievement for such a low-season of sales years later. In a Peugeot 4S store in Beijing that we visited, a total of 44 new cars were sold last month, of which 8 were Peugeot 508, accounting for about 20% of total sales, and it can be seen that in the product line of Dongfeng Peugeot, peugeot 508 can be regarded as a volume model.

And the color that this car sells the most is white. If you do not consider the manufacturer's official repurchase plan, this is the most valuable color of Peugeot 508.
As for why we recommend the 508L 400THP PureTech Driving Control Edition the most, one of the biggest factors is in terms of power, it is an entry-level model with a 1.8T engine, with 211 horsepower in terms of power, which is more relaxed than the entry-level 170 horsepower when overtaking or occasionally wanting to be passionate. At the same time, in terms of configuration, although it is not much different from the entry-level power top model that is cheaper than 14,000 yuan in terms of comfort configuration, it not only has a series of intelligent driving assistance functions in terms of driving assistance functions, but also has more reversing images than the entry-level power top models. On the whole, whether from the configuration or power considerations, the 508L 400THP PureTech Driving Control Edition is the most worth buying version.
In the Peugeot 4S store, we also have a look at the current discount situation of this car with the staff in charge of sales, and let's talk to you about the content of this piece. At present, the purchase of Dongfeng Peugeot 508 is mainly divided into two ways: full/installment car purchase.

2. Buy a car in installments: The cash discount is the same as buying a car in full, it is 22,000 yuan, but at present, buying a car in installments is not only free of financial fees, but also can enjoy the interest-free policy of 60% down payment in installments of 24 installments. That is to say, in this case, coupled with a series of hard expenses, the road cost of this car is about 120453 yuan, and the repayment amount of each subsequent period is 2795 yuan, and the repayment pressure is not large.

So for consumers with a budget of less than 200,000 yuan and ready to buy a medium-sized sedan of a joint venture brand, how should they choose between the Peugeot 508 and the Volkswagen Passat?
The advantage of Peugeot 508 is that at the same price, it has a higher configuration and better power than the Passat, and it is more advanced in interior design and materials, at the same time, under the upgrade of user services by major brands of Dongfeng Group, Peugeot 508 also has a better official automotive aftermarket service.
The main advantage of Volkswagen Passat is that from the perspective of brand power, it is more well-known than Peugeot 508, and at the same time takes into account the brand dividend brought about by the traditional impression of the Chinese people on the public's high-end, in other words, "open out and have more face". At the same time, because the wheelbase is longer than the Peugeot 508, it will perform better in the rear space, but the Peugeot 508 is used as a home, and the space is quite enough.
