I'm a rider to share, don't blow or talk about motorcycles.
You're still waiting for Honda's ADV350, right? However, there has been no accurate letter when this car will be launched, which gives some models a chance to take the lead, such as Dayang, Lifan and other brands have launched similar styles of models with the same displacement.
Even Peugeot also brought its first crossover ADV scooter XP400 in March this year, but this car did not bring too much attention, and some were more complaining, and many friends thought that its final price was still set high.
Objectively, in terms of the static performance of the whole vehicle, the XP400 can be regarded as a crossover scooter with an absolutely original design concept, and the appearance and body structure of the car and even the powertrain will perform well.
This makes it have the capital to set a price that meets its own value, after all, there are not many models that can wrestle with it, especially under the premise that the Honda ADV350 is not on the scene, it can completely ignore the existence of friends.
And just now, Peugeot has launched the XP400 Allure version, this car will be 5000 yuan cheaper than the GT version, and the price has been reduced to 54800 yuan, the main reason for the two is that some basic configurations will be slightly different.
Therefore, we can simply call it a low-profile version or a start-up version. So with the price of this car lowered, did it become more cost-effective?
Let's take a look at the configuration changes first, judging from the official tweet, the biggest difference between the XP400Allure version and the GT version is mainly reflected in the wheel form and tire specifications, and the GT version uses strip vacuum wheels and large pattern all-terrain tires.
The Allure version has been changed to a combination of aluminum alloy wheels and road tires, which weakens its riding effect on non-paved roads to a certain extent, after all, the cushioning capacity and grip will change significantly, which will affect the riding experience, so these two different versions, there is a price difference of 5000 yuan.
As for other aspects, there is not much difference at present, the GT version should have structural settings and configuration combinations Allure version has applications, the official did not look at the dishes under the car, or will use KYB front inverted shock absorbers, rear multi-link suspension system, and dual-channel ABS and TCS and other safety assistance functions.
And it will continue to follow the big-name strategy in terms of materials, and many of the key components of the Allure version come from European suppliers. So the biggest difference between the two cars is that the running gear is slightly different.
Under such performance, it is obvious that the XP400Allure version is more cost-effective than the GT version, although its bad road performance will be a little weaker, but this car is a motorcycle model suitable for road cruising and riding, no one will take it to play crossing, engage in off-road, even if it occasionally runs bad road Allure version can also be competent, but compared to the GT version of the performance will be a little worse.
Of course, if the XP400Allure Edition is the king of cost performance in the same class of models, it must be a bit exaggerated, after all, the current price of this car is still not cheap, we must know that today's big pedals can no longer sell at a good price.
Lifan KPV350 is only more than 20,000 yuan, even if these two cars are not the same level of models, but friends are disrupting the pricing mechanism of such models, so the Allure version compared to the GT version of the cost performance, it will still look pale and weak, it will not show the allure of the name meaning.
All in all, the Peugeot XP400 can be considered a good ADV scooter, but its price is still a bit off the market expectations, even the Allure version that has just entered the market cannot escape the curse that price is king.
