I'm a knight to share, thank you for your attention.
There is another 150 scooter that can't hold back, and it comes from Peugeot's Speedfight4, known as SF4.
The original version of the Peugeot SF4 was unveiled as early as 1997, and since then it has undergone four generations of large-scale upgrades, and belongs to the more representative 150 scooter in the mainland market (introduced around 2019).
In my memory, the model of its contemporaneity is the Gwangyang Corner Lover and the Sanyang Cruise 150, so the seniority of this car is relatively old, and some older motorcyclists will be more familiar with it.
Recently, Peugeot officially carried out the latest optimization and upgrade for the recent situation of this car, bringing the 2024 SF4 + to the majority of car lovers, and further reducing the price of the car, set at 13,800 yuan.
Of course, compared with the previous two Taiwanese models, the price of SF4 when it first appeared in the mainland market was not very expensive, at about 15,200 yuan, at that time, the corner lover was about 19,000 yuan, and the cruising 150 was about 17,000 yuan.
It's just that this car is not because of the absolute advantage in price, it is popular all over the country, it only has a good reputation in a small area, obviously and its little brother Django 150 is not comparable, so some friends do not know about this car.
In terms of appearance, the Peugeot SF4+ is not much different from the old model, the most obvious change between the two is that there will be a difference in the body paint, and the color scheme used in the new model will be more youthful.
So the appearance of this car is still good, it will have its own very obvious characteristics and recognition, as long as you look at it twice, it will stay in your mind, and you will not forget it for a long time.
It's just that this scooter with a sporty positioning, compared with the more popular Japanese style in the current market, will be much weaker in the expression of sports genes, so its high appearance or uniqueness does not conform to the mainstream aesthetic orientation.
In terms of power, the new model will continue to use the original single-cylinder water-cooled engine, which is a side-mounted water-cooled EFI engine with not radical book data, with a maximum power of 9.3KW and a maximum torque of 13.2N·m, and the official fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is about 2.7 liters. And compared with Japanese models, it will also lack a little delicateness.
In terms of configuration, it will be the biggest difference between the old and new versions, the new Peugeot SF4+ will be based on the original, replaced with a 5-inch LCD instrument, and will also integrate dual-channel ABS, which basically makes up for its own shortcomings.
Because in the early years, this car was basically naked on the field, without the slightest sense of superiority in configuration. Of course, it doesn't have it now, because the LCD instrument and dual-channel ABS are no longer the mainstream, so after the upgrade, it does not highlight the configuration advantages, and it can only be said that it will be slightly richer than the old model.
But as a sports positioning scooter, the Peugeot SF4's inherent handling advantage is obvious, which is also one of the highlights of this car, and the new generation of SF4+ will continue this characteristic, so the biggest attraction of this car is still in the handling.
So the question is, why did the upgraded Peugeot SF4+ drop in price instead of increasing in price?
The reason is very simple, the current market competition is too cruel, and this model, which has not been recognized too much, will basically be hidden if it is still operated according to the original thinking, and there will be no day to turn over. Therefore, it must be upgraded and reduced in price, and the so-called core competitiveness will be enhanced by making up for the shortcomings of the configuration and lowering the price.
It's just that its current round of operation, there is a high probability that it can't set off much of a storm, because from the display of sports style, the Japanese is the mainstream, even if the appearance of this car is very distinctive, the handling is also good, but the powertrain and configuration of the shortcomings still exist, and now there are many models available for us to choose from, so many friends will still pretend to turn a blind eye.
Of course, for those who know and approve of this car, the new generation of SF4+ is still worth considering, after all, every car has its specific fans and potential users.
Finally, I will give an easter egg, the old Django has also been reduced, and now it is only 13,800 yuan, this car still has a head, and there is a chance to talk about it in detail.
