In recent years, French cars have been struggling in China, and their market share has been continuously compressed, and the outside world has generally looked down on their development prospects. However, Peugeot has not given up, hoping to regain consumer recognition with a new model, after all, we are now the world's largest car market. Recently, the third-generation Peugeot 308 and 308S were officially listed in Japan, with a price range of about 150,000-260,000 yuan. Previously, it also applied for the 308SW patent map in China, and it is likely to meet with everyone during the year, which has aroused the attention of many parties.
The new Peugeot 308 is built on the EMP2 platform and has improved the car-making process. Its exterior design pays attention to the integration of dynamic elements, the front part of the net is designed in a new style, and the inner scale-like chrome filling is very sharp. In addition, the car is also equipped with a new Peugeot lion logo LOGO, and the recognition has been further improved. The headlight groups on both sides are sharply shaped and embedded with LED light sources. The GT version is a matrix LED light group, and the illumination effect is even better.
Coming to the side, thanks to the extended wheelbase, the new Peugeot 308 shows a better slip-back posture, the lines are smoother and smoother, and the rear space is also expanded. The wheel hub is moderately sized, and the observation under the dynamic five-spoke structure is very eye-catching. The sharp waistline at the door extends from the end of the headlight group to the front end of the tail light group, and the integrity is strengthened. The rear light cluster is slender, but it is not equipped with the popular through-line layout. Overall, the new Peugeot 308 looks decent, which is a typical station wagon shape, and the creativity is slightly insufficient.
The interior part of the new Peugeot 308 does not have many surprises, and its overall simplicity style pays attention to practicality. The size of the central control screen is more general, while retaining a large number of traditional physical buttons and knobs, which is not very strong in the atmosphere of science and technology, and I do not know whether the application reserve is rich. The size of the LCD instrument can not have too high expectations, and the UI interface design is relatively simple and clear. The steering wheel shape of the new car is a highlight, the function button arrangement is relatively compact and reasonable, and it is easy to control when driving.
The new Peugeot 308 offers a wide range of power options, distinguishing between gasoline, diesel and plug-in hybrids. However, the overseas gasoline version is equipped with a 1.2T three-cylinder engine, considering that the Chinese people are quite dissatisfied with such engines, it is estimated that it will not be retained after domestic production, and the diesel version will also be cancelled. Its overseas hybrid version is a combination of 1.6T four-cylinder diesel engine + 81kW electric motor, and the maximum power of the system reaches 210kW, and the data performance is very good. If the domestic version is equipped with a 1.5T gasoline engine, it is still quite attractive.
Overall, the new Peugeot 308 is a qualified new work. Its exterior design has been partially adjusted to better meet the aesthetic preferences of current consumers. The interior configuration is not amazing enough, but the practicality does not have to worry. The car's powertrain is worth looking forward to, and the rich choice will get the attention of different groups. However, it still needs to make sufficient efforts in brand influence, after all, Peugeot's current position in the hearts of the Chinese people has long lived up to the past. However, the entire market shows a diversified trend, and everyone tends to pay more attention to niche models. As a station wagon, the new Peugeot 308 may be able to open up sales with it. If it can show sincerity in terms of price, then even in the face of heavyweight opponents such as Nissan Xuanyi, it can also seize a certain living space.
