Compared with safety and performance, the 100,000-level joint venture sedan car will look at the new 408 model!
If you want to talk about the 100,000-level joint venture family car, many people may think of the "three Japanese mothers" at the first time, and there is even an exaggerated saying that "one car is passed down to three generations, and people are still walking in the car", which shows the durability of Japanese cars. But if you think about it, do you find that they don't seem to have any advantages other than durability, just pure transportation vehicles. So, with a budget of 100,000 yuan, can you still buy a joint venture sedan car that is "more than just traveling"?
The answer is yes. Friends who pay attention to French cars should know that Dongfeng Peugeot and Dongfeng Citroen, which originate from S Long Automobile, have always been known for their "conscience car conscience price", among which the new Dongfeng Peugeot 408 model, known as the "French hexagonal warrior", is worthy of our attention, because it may completely subvert your imagination of the 100,000-level joint venture car.
Different from the "low-profile and beggar version" of competitors, the new 408 model will be the fourth-generation 360THP all-aluminum twin-scroll turbocharged engine, Aisin 6AT third-generation manual automatic transmission, main driver electric seat (eight-way adjustment), Blue-i 3.0 intelligent network system, 6 major airbags (positive airbags, side airbags, side air curtains) and other 60 mainstream configurations are standard, with strong power, accurate handling, ultra-safety, large space, environmental protection, Six advantages such as beautiful appearance can achieve full matching at the entrance. It is worth mentioning that the new 408 Latu version and Lafite version are also models equipped with 360° panoramic high-definition reversing image + transparent chassis in the same level of joint venture W.
We all know that "you get what you pay for", but the emergence of the new 408 seems to have broken this market law. Take the most important safety aspect of the car, it not only uses the ultra-high-strength capsule body, but also uses a large number of ultra-high-strength hot-stamping steel plates with a strength of up to 1600MPa in the key stressed parts such as the "front column", "neutral column" and "door anti-collision beam", and the high-strength steel of the vehicle accounts for more than 70%, far exceeding the industry standard, effectively ensuring the safety of the cockpit and improving the impact resistance of the body. In terms of anti-corrosion protection, the new 408 model adopts the dual protection of galvanized sheet + overall electrophoretic paint, and the proportion of double-sided galvanized metal materials used in the body exceeds 86%, which can ensure that the body will not be perforated and corroded for 12 years.
At this price point, many consumers dare not have too much luxury in terms of health, the new 408 model is also "opposite" with many competing products of the same level, and does not use 100,000 common recycled cotton, but "leapfrogs" with a lot of 200,000+ models of foam sound insulation cotton and a large number of environmentally friendly and harmless materials, from the source to eliminate the pollution of harmful substances, to achieve healthy driving.
The new 408 model not only became the first 100,000-level family sedan to pass the "Children's Priority (Green Cockpit) Certification", but also won the "2022 China's Top Ten Body Bodies" and "Z Best Materials" awards in one fell swoop, and won the five-star safety rating in the C-NCAP crash test for many times, completely demonstrating Dongfeng Peugeot's "conscience car conscience price".
At the power level, what the new 408 can give is by no means as simple as traveling. It is equipped with a new 360THP engine all-aluminum twin-scroll turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 127kW and a peak torque of 255N·m. Vehicle tests such as catching insects have finally achieved an increase in power and torque, and a reduction in fuel consumption.
Looking back on the day of launch, the new 408 model equipped with the new 360THP engine was fully loaded at Asia's largest high-ring test track under the attention of Q.com audiences, running an astonishing Z-high speed of 221km/h, excellent power performance and stable handling are remarkable. Of course, such a dazzling performance is also inseparable from Peugeot's driving control genes and the century-old CLDR master chassis tuning.
In addition to the advantages of safety and environmental protection, power driving control, etc., the new 408 model also has the French lion soul aesthetic styling that is not inferior to the new energy model, as well as the A+ class space performance with a wheelbase of 2730mm, which can easily cope with family travel and let you drive with both inside and out.
On the whole, the new 408 model of the "French Hexagonal Warrior" is worthy of its name, and it is worthy of being a leader in the field of joint venture sedan cars at the same level, even in the face of the domestic sedan chair that focuses on cost performance. The listing price of the new car is 109,700-125,700 yuan, and now there is a limited-time cash discount of nearly 20,000 yuan for buying a car, which means that about 90,000 yuan can easily get such a good-looking and better all-round family car, Dongfeng Peugeot's "Five Heart Guardian Action" is full of surprises, moving you and me!
