The mediocre 7-seat SUV actually has a shift paddle and disassembles the third row, with a starting price of only 180,000 yuan

Summer is here, so let's talk about the seven-seat SUV.

Let's first think about the inner emo of a group of ordinary people when they buy a 7-seat SUV:

Question 1: Do you think a 7-seater car is big and long, and after buying it, you are away from the pleasure of driving?

Question 2: When buying a car, do you think that the 7-seat SUV is a tool car, the price is high, and there is no sense of refinement?

Question three: After many families buy 7 seats, they will find that 7 seats are only used occasionally, and the third row is often idle, and it still occupies the trunk space?

Pause for 3 seconds, then move on with your thoughts and answers.

The reason why there are these problems is that when the manufacturer developed the 7-seater car, it only considered the relationship between the car and the extended family. The relationship between the car and the driver, and the relationship between the car and the small family, are ignored.

However, even if it is enough to meet the needs of large families, 7-seater cars do not do well. The third row of seats in most 7-seater cars resembles a small maza, not to mention long distances and outings. Just a little longer downtown dinner, the third row of the little maza will also make you feel depressed and uncomfortable. Unless one day we become winners in life and buy a full-size road jumbo.

If you really think about the above three questions, then you must read this article.

This article is to share a new 7-seater design concept and interpret the French people's understanding of how the 7-seater car handles the driver's travel relationship with himself, small family, and large family. Because the design of this car has a lot of ideas, it is amazing.

The first question: how to meet the driver's control requirements in a 7-seater car

How does the designer make people feel that the car is coming for me the moment they sit in the car? Europe is a treasure trove of first-class design. The French have long had a new attempt at the new 5008, in addition to maintaining the balance and integrity of the main and co-pilots, through the slightly inclined driver's central control screen, as well as yacht-style gear handlebars and central armrests, to create a semi-enclosed space for the driver, so that the driver can feel that the car is centered on "me" as soon as he sits in. This is shown in the following figure.

The high-gloss chrome decorative strip connecting the central handrail area to the air conditioning buttons splits the center console in two by the cold metallic texture, achieving asymmetry. You'll also find a small racing-style multi-function steering wheel, which is small and stout, more easy to master, and can also be steered 11% faster than the normal steering wheel. The paddle shifters behind the steering wheel will give you a strong sporty atmosphere. Its actual performance is not bad, as long as you press down, the gearbox can immediately change gears, there is no delay. The fundamental reason for this is that its transmission is an original imported Aisin 8AT, and it is standard in the entire series.

While satisfying the driver's desire for control, the car also has some treasure details. For example, you'll also see two large screens in the image above, and they're also in high positions. In particular, the 12.3-inch full LCD meter, which can be framed with the scenery outside the windshield when navigating the map in full screen, means that you don't have to look down at all when racing on the mountain road.

This new Peugeot 5008 also inherits peugeot's century-old master chassis tuning and more than 120 years of three major event champion genes. This sentence may not be understood by non-industry personnel. Let's say a more realistic, the new 5008 has been adjusted by more than 300 masters such as Le Mans race safety officers, Nürburgring team technical consultants and other master experts, with a total of 6 rounds of adjustment, while other manufacturers have only 4 rounds of adjustment at most.

The second question: how a 7-seater car can satisfy the control of discerning details

How can designers and engineers make a 7-seater car more refined? If you look at the car design in these two years, you will find that the dot matrix is popular outside the grid. Haval Dog, Roewe 3rd Generation RX5, Changan CSS75, Ford Mondeo, etc. all use dot matrix mid-net. This is actually the material left over from the French car play, and the French have been using dot matrix diffusion nets since five years ago.

On the new 5008, you can see a more impactful trendy design - the star-moving dot matrix borderless grille, through the gradient hot stamp chrome decoration, the human vision is focused on the lion logo in the center, so that the front face of the car is more exquisite in addition to fashion. Sharp lion's eye LED headlights, fang-type LED daytime running lights and lion's claw LED taillights echo back and forth, making the whole vehicle very designed and recognizable. Especially the fang-like running lights, the latest Avita also pays tribute to this design concept.

If you not only look at the refinement of the appearance, but also want to bring a delicate cockpit to your girlfriend and lover, so that life can be enjoyed more. The French are also careful. The central control screen is the visual focus of the car, and its modeling design and material directly determine the grade of a car. The 10-inch floating touchscreen housing material on the new 5008 uses a whole high-gloss acrylic panel, and a small bending angle is designed below the screen to enhance the design sense. On the screen material, the IPS panel with wide color gamut is used, and the resolution of Full HD is used, and the display detail is full. Even the air conditioner outlet under the central control screen also uses metal chrome decorative parts.

On the more commonly used air conditioning buttons, the new 5008 also uses metal chrome piano buttons. On the material of the gear lever, in addition to the yacht-style shape, it also integrates metal chrome, leather wrapping, and high-gloss acrylic decoration. Even the glove compartment in the co-pilot position is decorated with metal chrome to enhance the sense of detail. From this point of view, it seems that this car is a chrome maniac, but you don't think its chrome is overused. This undoubtedly reflects the designer's grasp of material and design.

Of course, these are all little tricks of exquisite detail. Speaking of the sense of interior grade of a car, it is indispensable to some hard dishes. The new 5008 seats are made of Clautia leather (selected from bull leather up to 25 to 35 kilograms), and the shape also uses the prism treatment commonly used in French bags. The hand-accessible parts of the main co-pilot and center console are also made of Alcantara imported from Italy. I really like the material, it looks very faceted and is equally delicate and soft to the touch.

If that's not enough, want a little more extravagant enjoyment. The new 5008 also offers the 500W 10-channel panoramic sound system of focal, a French national treasure audio brand. Jinlang's reputation in the audio industry is by no means small, and almost any professional monitor music producer has a pair of Jinlang audio. Also, Jinlang is also a big name in the car audio modification industry. As for those who succeed, Jinlang also has a million-level utopian series.

Finally, the traditional arts of Westerners can be brought into play to talk about environmental protection. The new 5008 uses white new sherry (warm material for storm jackets and bedding) sound insulation cotton, international chemical giant Ricksell's PU spraying skin process, and natural hemp fiber reinforced composite materials to form a low-odor, low-VOC, non-toxic environmental protection cockpit.

Third question: How a 7-seater car operates an interesting third row of seats

How does a space manager make a 7-seat SUV fit for a big family? For example, a car has an extra-long wheelbase to accommodate a larger cockpit space, while not making the body larger, sacrificing the flexibility of daily commuting. It's hard, sometimes almost unsolvable. So we will see that most of the 7-seater cars make the cabin bigger at the same time, but also make the whole car become bloated, increasing the burden of daily driving and parking.

Europe's roads are far more congested and of much worse quality than China's. French engineers who grew up in this travel environment were naturally more interested in cars. Therefore, even if the new 5008 is a 7-seat SUV, they still use the concept of short front suspension and short rear suspension to achieve 4670mm under the ultra-large wheelbase of 2840mm. It is equivalent to saying that the short body of the Haval H6 is crammed into the large space of the Highlander. This allows for the interior space of large SUVs while maintaining the flexibility of compact SUVs.

As for the layout of the three rows of seats, the answer to the new 5008 is a more liberal concept. The 5+2 flexible 7-seat space can achieve any combination of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 seats. At the same time, it also has the EZE entry function to facilitate access to the third row, making it more convenient for rear passengers to enter.

The setting of the magic third row of space can be multiple combinations, which can be folded and flattened, or directly removed to form a 2040L large storage space. Imagine opening the electric tailgate, three times five divided by two taking out a brown Claudia leather fishing stool from the car and sticking it on the ground, this comfortable enjoyment of the second kill should be no problem for all anglers in the field.

Lovely city, safe travel, the combination of the two is happy. In terms of passive safety, the new 5008 adopts a high-strength body of the space capsule class at a height of 1600Mpa, and is equipped with an enhanced Grip Control multi-road adaptation system to cope with a variety of harsh road conditions. In terms of active safety, the new 5008 also has a series of functions such as ACC adaptive cruise / lane departure assistance / front collision warning / active blind spot monitoring and other ADAS intelligent driver assistance system to escort you.

Any kind of car design reflects the local culture, and these cultures are expressed in the car and become the car culture. This is the new 5008, a 7-seater SUV with a lot of character. It can be a control toy for service drivers, a fashion item for exquisite travel, or a mobile space for large families. This is the difference between it and most tool-based 7-seat SUVs. Of course, more importantly, this car is priced at 180,000 yuan, and the terminal also has a variety of credit, replacement and other offers. If you're interested in French cars, head to the shop and actually experience it.
