For people who want to buy a compact family car, if they seek stability, most of them will directly buy models at the top of the sales list, such as Nissan's Xuanyi. However, some people are willing to study carefully to find the most suitable treasure model for themselves, such as the Peugeot 408, which has received a lot of attention. So how to choose, Peugeot 408 and Xuan Yi are good or bad?
Next, we will compare the two cars, namely Xuanyi (21 1.6XE CVT Comfort Edition) and Peugeot 408 (10th Anniversary Edition) to see who is the high-quality player of the compact car.
The first thing a compact sedan looks at is the size of the space. In terms of internal space, the Peugeot 408 is also an all-round leader. The body dimensions of the Peugeot 408 are 4750*1820*1488mm, and the wheelbase length is 2730mm. In contrast, the body dimension of Xuanyi 4641*1815*1450mm is much inferior, and the wheelbase length of 2712mm has no advantage. If Xuanyi is compared to a two-seat sofa, then the Peugeot 408 comes with its own chaise longue! The advantage of wheelbase allows the Peugeot 408 to create a more comfortable driving experience! In addition, the Peugeot 408's reasonable human-machine relationship and a total of 22 storage spaces in the car also make the storage of items within one arm, which is convenient enough.

In terms of interior materials, Xuanyi's seat material is fabric, while peugeot 408 uses leather. Comfort has its own advantages and disadvantages, but at least the leather "sofa" is better in terms of face.

With the improvement of consumer awareness, more and more consumers put safety at the top of their car purchase considerations. In terms of safety performance, Nissan's Xuanyi is equipped with a master/passenger seat airbag, compared to the Peugeot 408 in addition to the main/passenger seat airbag, it is also equipped with front side air curtains and front/rear head air curtains, which are more reliable in safety performance.
In terms of the use of body steel that consumers are more concerned about, Peugeot 408 adopts the HLE high-strength body structure, and the proportion of high-strength steel has reached an astonishing 70%! As the crown of Japanese car sales, Xuanyi uses only 27% of high-strength thermoformed steel. It is not difficult to decide who is more attentive and confident in security. At the same time, the Peugeot 408 is also equipped with practical configurations such as panoramic reversing images, front/rear parking radar, etc., behind the strong strength of active and passive, more careful and more intimate!
This level of car is inseparable from good power. The Peugeot 408 is equipped with a 1.6T powertrain that can explode with 125 kW of horsepower and 250 N·m of torque, and is combined with the third-generation 6-speed manual transmission, with a top speed of 225 km/h. Because Xuanyi does not have turbocharging, the maximum power is only 99kW, and the maximum torque is only 159N·m. In addition, the Xuanyi engine uses a multi-point E-injection fuel injection form, compared to the Direct Injection form of the Peugeot 408, it can only be bowed to the wind.

The CVT transmission used by nissan athletes can bring better smooth performance, but under extreme driving control, it will inevitably reveal the weakness of the connection on the power joint. At this point, the Peugeot 408 equipped with a 6AT transmission understands you better.

Although this generation of Xuanyi has spared no effort to move closer to the movement wind in the appearance design, the effect is limited. There is an inherent disadvantage compared to the Peugeot family, which has track genes. This can be seen in the comparison of the size of the hubs.
It can be seen that Xuanyi, as a veteran of A-class cars, has a good reputation, while the Peugeot 408 is stronger. In terms of power, size, safety performance have a better performance. If you want to talk about the high-quality runners of compact cars, it is still the Peugeot 408!
