In recent years, there has been such a phenomenon in the automobile circle, many new forces have "mobile phones" cars, and more pen and ink have been used on static entertainment function publicity, but there are not too many hardcore tests for the quality and safety of the vehicle itself as a travel tool. Working hard where you can see and reducing costs where you can't see it has become a way for some brands to quickly increase sales.
For automobile companies, the cost is fixed, so what to spend the cost on is a test of a company's determination, especially to spend the cost in a place that consumers can't see. "French cars are like glutinous rice dumplings, and the real materials are hidden in them. "The romance and delicacy of French cars are often not easy to be perceived by consumers. Today, let's take a look at the "civilian sedan car" that is not afraid of being compared, can withstand the test, and can withstand actual combat - the new 408, is it the real "conspicuous bag" in the consumer market that still uses cars as a means of transportation?
As the first model of Dongfeng Peugeot to be equipped with the new Lion standard, the new 408 has undergone many domestic authoritative and hard-core challenging tests since its launch, and has caused a lot of sensation in the industry.
The first is "dismantling", exposing the entire body and materials in front of everyone: the new 408 in the hard-core dismantling experiment of professional automotive media, it can be clearly seen that a large number of ultra-high-strength hot-stamping steel plates are used in key stressed parts, the high-strength steel of the vehicle accounts for more than 70%, and the double-sided galvanized metal material accounts for more than 86%, plus six horizontal and six vertical integral reinforced floors, and 6 reinforcing beams are designed for the front collision, no matter from which angle they are violently impacted, they can ensure the safety of passengers. Some people may say that there are not so many accidents, and the "warp collision" is not so important. But everyone in the car, who can guarantee that they will never encounter an accident? And even if the probability of an accident is only 1 in 10,000, all the efforts made by the car company are worth it.
Through the disassembly, it can also be seen that the new 408 uses Dacromet bolts at the connection between the aluminum alloy anti-collision beam and the body, which is environmentally friendly and highly corrosion-resistant, and can also avoid the serious failure consequences of sudden fracture with uncertainty.
The interior of the new 408 is made of soundproofing and noise-reducing materials and soft-touch leather materials, and the trunk carpet is made of high-quality materials that are generally used in B-class cars or high-end cars. Once upon a time, consumers bought a car to bring a formaldehyde tester, especially families with children are to put the environmental protection in the car in the decision to buy a car, after all, in such a small space in the car, most of the time is closed, high standards of environmental protection materials are responsible for every passenger.
It is precisely because the new 408 still insists on hard-core quality in invisible places, at the end of last year, the new 408 was ejected by two cranes in the "Flight Challenge" "Crazy Giant Slingshot" test jointly presented by Dongfeng Peugeot and Zhihu Novelty Laboratory, and after experiencing 6 tons of tensile tearing and 6 meters of vertical fall from a height of "heaven" and "ground" extreme destruction, the new 408 not only has no deformation of the body, but can still ignite and drive normally.
In addition, the new 408 has also successively won the "2022 China Top Ten Body" and "Materials" awards at the China Automotive Safety Conference, and has successfully passed the China Automotive Research Institute Children's First (Green Cockpit) certification by virtue of its high-quality air, baby-grade materials, and electromagnetic radiation safety advantages, becoming a 100,000-level family sedan that has passed the certification.
Rigorous materials and materials, in addition to receiving high attention and praise from consumers, and defending the status of "the king of family car rolls" with hard-core quality and reputation. It also ensures that the consistent driving control genes of French cars can be brought into full play.
The new 408 offers two additional driving modes, Sport and Snow. When the car is put into Sport mode, the actual 000 can run in 9 seconds, and the net power output can also reach 170 hp. The overall gear shift is very smooth and comfortable, in the actual driving process, there is no obvious frustration or push back feeling, and there is no strong force point in the acceleration process, but a very linear process. In the process of entering and exiting the corner, the body posture of the vehicle is also very stable, and there is no phenomenon of pushing the head.
It is such a high-quality civilian family car, in the process of using the service, the new 408 in the "Five Hearts Guardian Action 2.0" empowerment, can provide customers with a more reliable service experience. For example, the right to use the car with the "lifetime warranty of original spare parts"; the "errand service" that can be picked up and delivered to the customer for free during maintenance and repair; the rescue is upgraded to a lifetime free rescue, the rescue vehicle is on standby 24 hours a day, and the country must arrive within 2 hours, and the service "conspicuous package" gives customers double care.
The French car represented by the new 408 is not destined to attract attention, it will not please the majority of the market, but for people who like niche design and pursue the value of "not conforming to the herd", the French car is one of the few brands with reliable products and fashionable personality. The characteristics of French cars are consumers' pursuit of reliable quality and ultimate driving control, and they are also "conspicuous bag" cars that show their personality and charm.
