Starting from 109,700! The new Peugeot 408 is available, 1.5T hard-pressed Civic

Priced at 109,700 yuan, the new Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is on the market, 1.5T+6AT, competing for Civic

The car circle is very lively, and the new model of Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is officially launched! The price starts from 109,700 yuan, up to 118,700 yuan. The two models are equipped with a very affordable price, which is directly targeted at popular models such as Honda Civic and Volkswagen Sagitar.

Let’s talk about the appearance first. The new 408 continues the classic French design style, with dot matrix front grille and lion eye headlights, which are highly recognizable. LED high and low beam, automatic headlights, and daytime running lights are all standard, and the smoked taillight group at the rear of the car adds a bit of sporty atmosphere. The body sizes, length, width and height are 4750x1820x1488 mm, and the wheelbase is 2730 mm. The space performance is good, so the rear seat will not feel crowded.

When he sat inside the car, a French car adjustment came to his face. The combination of a 12-inch full LCD instrument and a 10-inch central control screen is practical, but it has not kept up with the current trend of curved screens. The steering wheel is wrapped in genuine leather, which feels good; the seats are made of imitation leather, which may be a bit boring in summer. Although the mechanical gear shifting mechanism is not the popular electronic gear lever, it is more reliable and durable. The one-click start button is in the gear lever area, and the position is a bit special. You may need to adapt to the first time you open it.

In terms of power, it is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine code-named YG01, with a high power of 127 kilowatts, which is 173 horsepower and a peak torque of 255 Nm. Matching with a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission, WLTC's comprehensive fuel consumption is only 6.1L, supports No. 92 gasoline, and the cost of maintaining a car is relatively low. This powertrain performs well in urban driving, without starting a good start, and the mid- and rear-end acceleration is enough. The 6AT gearbox is smoother than the dual-clutch, and there is much less sense of clogging when traffic jams.

Compared with Civic and Sagitar, the 408 has obvious cost-effective advantages. Both the Civic and the Sagitar are priced higher, and there are not many advantages in configuration. 408 uses mature technology and stable prices to attract users who do not want to be "villain". If your budget is around 110,000 yuan and want to buy a sedan that is solid, durable, has a large space, and is cheap to maintain a car in the later stage, the 408 is definitely worth considering.

Of course, the 408 also has shortcomings, such as the intelligent interior configuration is relatively conservative, the power form is single, and there is no hybrid version. But overall, the new Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is a compact sedan with high cost performance and is worth buying. What do you think?
