With the encouragement of factors such as family self-driving travel and the liberalization of the multi-child policy, more and more brands have launched 7-seater models, and in general, everyone is more willing to buy a 7-seat SUV because it is not too business to drive, and occasionally it is not worried about insufficient space when emergency. To say that the current best-selling and famous 7-seat SUV model is undoubtedly the Toyota Highlander, it can be called the benchmark of this market segment, and there are countless topics around it, such as queuing up to buy cars and car increases. But the question is does its product power correspond to such a mythical label? If you have a budget of about 250,000, you can't buy a 7-seat SUV that is better than Highlander?
The answer is obviously no, if the new generation highlander has been out of the category of 250,000 medium-sized SUVs, then this price point wants to buy a high-configuration, power-hungry and first-class space joint venture medium-sized SUV, peugeot 5008 may be a good choice. From the price point of view, the current official guidance price range of the model is 18.77-26.37 million yuan, providing a 5/7 seat layout, divided into 1.6T and 1.8T two engines, basically to meet the needs of different consumers. Today we are based on a budget of 250,000, and select the top version of the naked car in the 250,000 after the discount, can it bring a first-class car experience? Let's move on.
Let's talk about the design part first, after all, the Peugeot brand has not been hot in the past two years, and the recognition of more high-end models like Peugeot 5008 needs to be improved, plus the appearance of French cars is quite surprising, so it is worth giving you a detailed introduction. First of all, the front face part, the application of the family's latest design language brings a good sense of fashion and refinement, such as the bezel-less grille expanded to both sides, with the internal dot matrix structure, and the new style of lion's eye LED near and far light + fang-shaped LED daytime lights on both sides, the recognition is naturally no problem.
As a medium-sized SUV, the size performance of the Peugeot 5008 has also reached the mainstream level, with a length, width and height of 4670*1855*1655mm (the height of the entry-level car is 1650mm) with a wheelbase of 2840mm, which is not bad compared with competitors and can meet the space requirements of the 5/7-seat layout. At the same time, thanks to the mainstream body size, the side shape of the new car is also relatively slender and coordinated, and in order to take care of the space of the third row of passengers, it also deliberately adopts a boxy tail treatment. At this time, combined with the 19-inch two-color multi-spoke alloy wheels exclusive to the top model, the sense of sport is also good.
Tail design highlights are no more and no less, still peugeot's current latest family language, and the design highlight is undoubtedly the tail light group 9 lion claw design concept, echoing the headlight style, in the full LED light source and blackened lampshade with the cooperation, young consumers naturally like this visual experience. It is worth mentioning that the tail light groups on both sides of the new car are also connected by a black trim panel, which can also be regarded as creating a penetrating effect, with the flat double exhaust layout of the tail, the sense of sport is enhanced again.
If the design of the exterior meets the requirements of some consumers for fashion and refinement, then the interior is to meet your needs for technology and futurism. First of all, the center console adopts the classic Peugeot family cockpit design concept, after fusing fighter and racing elements, the texture and visual effects are the number one in the natural row of the same level. In order to further highlight the positioning of peugeot 5008's own flagship, the new car also adopts a large area of soft material and Alcantara material coating, with a suspended 10-inch central control screen and a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument in an unconventional position, as well as a sporty double-spoke flat-bottom multi-function steering wheel and an aircraft gear rod shape of the general gear area, the sense of combat is instantly full.
There are also many highlights, at least in this top-of-the-line version is a first-class level, such as the L2 level driver assistance system, with parallel assist, lane departure warning, lane keeping assist, active braking, panoramic imagery and full-speed adaptive cruise. Practical features include an electric induction trunk, wireless charging of front mobile phones, heating and massage of front leather seat belts that support multi-directional adjustment, driver's seat memory and 10-speaker FOCAL brand audio, which are enough to meet the high demand for travel experience. The only regret may be that it is not equipped with mood lights, otherwise this center console can present a more glittering visual effect at night.
To briefly talk about the riding experience, Peugeot 5008 in order to meet the comfort requirements of most consumers, the seats have been localized and upgraded, with the mainstream size, naturally can create a good riding experience. Taking the 1.8-meter height of the test driver as an example, after adjusting the sitting position in the front row, you can also get a fist space, at this time, the central armrest is completely sufficient under the placement of two adult men, at this time into the back row, the leg space is about one punch, which is just enough. As for the third row, there are only two fingers of legroom, and the backrest is short, and short-distance emergencies are acceptable. However, the third row of seats of the Peugeot 5008 can be removed, and when it is not used, it is a 5-seat SUV, and the trunk capacity and the second row of space are greatly improved.
Finally, the power, if you think that the medium-sized SUV using a 1.6T engine is not very good and not enough, then choose the 1.8T version, the maximum power is 155kW, the maximum torque is 300N·m, matching the 8AT gearbox, the 100 km acceleration is measured in about 8.5 seconds, this data is similar to the competitors equipped with 2.0T low-power power, which can meet the basic needs of performance, and the transmission is first-class. However, the chassis is still the same as the old, the front McPherson independent suspension and the rear longitudinal arm twist beam non-independent suspension, fortunately there is enough excellent tuning, usually the driving texture is not bad, comfort can meet expectations.
Summary: To say that the history of the Peugeot brand, it has been established for nearly 132 years, so in the entire automotive industry, it has enough historical precipitation. And Peugeot 5008 as the brand flagship SUV, but also shows the current high level of Peugeot, design, configuration and power is no problem, if the cost performance can be higher, such as 250,000 top version landing, I think consumers will be more willing to choose it, rather than Tiguan L, Oncovey.
