Now when it comes to the joint venture compact sedan, the Langyi, Corolla and Nissan Tianlai, which we talk about a lot, are all models that sell very well. In fact, there was once a model that had a good price-performance ratio like the above models, but the sales of this model in recent years were not high. In September, October, November sales of 929 vehicles, 673 vehicles and 1000 vehicles, sales are relatively sluggish, this model is Peugeot 408, the joint venture A+ class car from 11.77 to 99,700, LangYi is not fragrant!
The design in the appearance is still relatively spiritual, the overall style is also very fashionable, and the details are showing a sense of refinement. The inverted ladder-shaped grille adopts a dot matrix structure, the edge is added to the thicker chrome strip, the shape of the headlights is sharper, giving people a more ferocious feeling, but the internal light source is halogen, and the high beam lamp also adds lens modification. The design of the front surround is more three-dimensional, which also adds to the overall sense of vitality, and the two sides of the real-life model do not provide fog lights.
The overall material of the interior is mostly rigid plastic, and the door armrests and seats, as well as the steering wheel, are wrapped in imitation leather or leather materials, but it is not enough to cover up the plastic feeling of the interior. The center console adopts an asymmetrical T-shaped design, and the gap treatment is not symmetrical due to the use of more rigid plastics. The entire series of dashboards use mechanical hands, the middle screen can display the speed, gear, mileage, and fuel consumption, the basic functional parameters can be displayed, but combined with the shape, the style of the dashboard does not have any point of view.
The design of the body side is visually stretched, thanks to the coordinated body proportions and smooth line design. The body size of the Peugeot 408 is 4750/1820/1488mm, and the wheelbase is 2730mm, which is still a good advantage in the same class. The rim is fitted with a 17-inch, two-tone five-spoke petal style for a sporty feel, and the tires are sized at 215/50 R17.
In terms of power, the Peugeot 408 is available in 1.2T and 1.6T engine options. Nowadays, there are not many models that use 1.2T small displacement engines, but the 1.2T used by peugeot 408 is a three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 100kW, a maximum torque of 230N·m, a maximum horsepower of 136 horses, matching a 6-stop wet double clutch; although the power book parameters are better than the Volkswagen 1.2T, but because the three-cylinder engine is controversial in the domestic market, it is difficult to sell with this. 1.6T for the four-cylinder engine, the maximum power of 125kW, the maximum torque of 250N·m, the maximum horsepower of 170 horses, the transmission part is matched with 6-speed manual transmission, this set of powertrain is obviously more suitable for the Chinese market.
Overall, Peugeot for the current young people's taste is still in place, the new 408 not only has no space short board, but compared to the mainstream A-class car also has more advantages, it can be said that it is also to see what Lang Yi Xuanyi. In terms of design, it is very neat to ride on the dust, coupled with the new hybrid system, it can be said that there is no short board at all. With this car to regain some momentum to fight a gorgeous turnaround battle is still very promising.
