For the majority of Chinese consumers, the two models with the strongest purchasing power are the "compact sedan" and the "compact SUV", which are usually in the price range of 100,000-200,000. Since consumers have strong purchasing power, it naturally leads to the extremely fierce fight between car companies in this level of market, so many people will ask questions when they see this: there are so many compact cars and SUVs, as ordinary consumers, how do we make the right choice among them?
In fact, choosing a car is very simple, nothing more than three elements: high quality, high cost performance and safer and healthier.
Looking at the current joint venture compact model market, we will find that in recent years, many joint venture brands have been exposed to negative problems such as cutting corners, so we must choose reliable large factory car companies when choosing brands, such as the Dongfeng Peugeot we want to talk about today! You should know that whether it is the French PSA Group or dongfeng motor group, they are the world's top car companies, so today we will look at two high-quality cars of Dongfeng Peugeot - "Dongfeng Peugeot 408" & "New 4008 Creative Edition"!
100,000-class joint venture high-quality A-class family car
What do young users value most when choosing models in the same class? Stronger power and more affordable price, of course!
Let's take the Dongfeng Peugeot 408, the price of the car is 119,700-159,700, while the price of Volkswagen Sagittarius is 133,500-165,900, obviously the former's starting price and maximum price are better than the latter. Of course, the advantage of the price point does not ultimately affect the choice of consumers, we also have to look at the performance of product strength.
Coincidentally, the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 and Volkswagen Sagittarius have two different power versions of the model, of which the 1.2T power version of the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 can output a maximum horsepower of 136Ps and a peak torque of 230N·m, while the Sagitar 1.2T powertrain of the same displacement can only output a maximum horsepower of 116Ps and a peak torque of 175N·m. It is worth mentioning that the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 with the same displacement engine not only has a lower starting price, but also comes standard with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, and sagittarius is still a manual transmission at a higher price.
Turning your attention to the high-end version, this can better reflect the gap between the two cars and the ultra-high cost performance of the Dongfeng Peugeot 408. When other joint venture brand models of the same level are generally using 1.4T, 1.5T displacement engines, Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is directly equipped with a larger 1.6T powertrain, which can output maximum horsepower of 170Ps and peak torque of 250N·m, I think the displacement is king The reason everyone understands, so there is no need to find the same level of Sagitar with 1.4T for parameter comparison, after all, the gap is too big!
In addition to more attractive prices and stronger power, for young users who are now pursuing a sense of refinement, they also attach great importance to the quality performance of vehicles in terms of safety and health. Let's take the cabin with the most contact when using the car every day, especially in these years, the virus is raging and the air has deteriorated, making many people pay great attention to respiratory health, in this regard, Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is equipped with the "CN95 Healthy Cockpit - Fresh Air Cockpit (Class A)" that won the certification of China Automobile AD&H.
However, only to eliminate the toxic substances outside the car is not the end, we all know that in the summer high temperature exposure is most likely to lead to the formation of harmful substances in the car, the intimate Dongfeng Peugeot 408 naturally also takes this into account, as the first domestic establishment of VOC laboratory of the main engine factory, Dongfeng Peugeot in the cockpit material selection and installation process of excellence, the car uses a large number of environmentally friendly materials, which makes the car in the China Automobile Research Automobile Inspection Center for high-temperature VOC testing, Become the first model in the domestic automotive industry to publicly complete high-temperature VOC testing!
Just as the so-called no comparison is no harm, the higher price Sagitar has these safety and health configurations and designs? Apparently not! This also proves that in the 100,000-level joint venture A-class family car market, the comprehensive cost performance shown by Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is better than that of the same class model, making it a high-quality home car that is more worthy of choice than Sagitar!
A joint venture SUV that is more for the taste of young people
After watching the joint venture compact sedan, if your budget is more sufficient, then the following high-quality joint venture compact SUV is also worth buying, it is the "new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition"! Many people see this and ask the question, why in the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008 series, you recommend the "new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition"? Because the car is a special version released for young users at last year's Guangzhou Auto Show, it has more young personalized design, so it is recommended that young users choose it!
Compared with other versions of the Dongfeng Peugeot 4008, the new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition has added an iceberg blue car color to the design of the vehicle inside and outside, as well as a leather sports seat with red diamond stitching process. In addition to these new personalized high-quality configurations, as ordinary consumers, we naturally have to compare it with the same level of models, such as volkswagen T-ROC Song, so how do they compare?
First of all, from the price point of view, you should know that the new 4008 Chuangxiang edition is a high-end version of the model, but its guidance price is only 167,700, while the starting price of volkswagen tango is similar to it. When we compare the new 4008 Chuangxiang version with the 169,300 version of the 169,300 version model with the higher price of Tange, we will find that the new 4008 Chuangxiang version is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard, a 10-inch central control LCD screen, the electric adjustment of the main co-pilot, automatic headlights, temperature partition control and a bunch of practical intelligent high-end configurations, the same configuration of Tange is either lower or directly no, so why should you spend more money to choose a model with a lower configuration?
Followed by the vehicle power performance, in fact, take the new 4008 creative version to compare the song of this car, somewhat victorious. To know that the 1.8T+8AT powertrain equipped with the new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition, with a maximum horsepower of 211Ps and a peak torque of 300N·m of strong performance performance, but can directly leapfrog the higher level of PK Ofanyue top model, and can also do not fall behind! It is worth mentioning that as a new 4008 Chuangxiang version of the same class of models, Tange is not only at a disadvantage in terms of price, configuration and power, but also smaller than the new 4008 Chuangxiang edition in terms of the body size that consumers value most, so it is difficult for you to find a reason not to choose the new 4008 Chuangxiang version!
Big Hero Car Talk: There is no doubt that whether it is the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 or the new 4008 Chuangxiang Edition, these two models rely on stronger power, higher cost performance, safer and healthier design and other product advantages, so that in the front PK of the same level of Sagitar, Tange, show their cross-level quality, so when choosing a joint venture compact car and SUV in the price range of 100,000-200,000, it is really difficult for you to find out the reason for not choosing them!
