AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/23 Report--

The 2008, a Peugeot model positioned as a small SUV, has been in the domestic market for many years, and Peugeot hopes to launch new products to achieve growth as the domestic sales of French brands gradually decline. A few days ago, overseas media revealed the latest news of a new Peugeot 2008, which starts at 21150 euros (166500 yuan) in the Spanish market.

The new Dongfeng Peugeot 2008 has also updated its new appearance, which is consistent with overseas models, using new lion claw headlamps and "tusks", which has become fuller in appearance and more exaggerated than the previous generation of models. It can be described as the introduction of the original flavor. At the same time, the new car will debut at this year's Guangzhou Auto Show.

In terms of size, the length, width and height are 4312/1785/1545mm and the wheelbase is 2612mm, which is longer 72mm than the current models on sale.

The interior of the new car has also changed a lot, with a dual-screen design of a dual-amplitude steering wheel and an electronic gear lever, continuing the feeling that the logo is used to the "aircraft" cockpit.

At present, the new car only announced a 1.2T three-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 136 horsepower and a peak torque of 231 Nm. Instead of using an overseas version of the eight-speed automatic transmission, the gearbox uses a six-speed wet double-clutch transmission.

In the domestic market, many consumers may have some prejudice against French cars, precisely because of the sharp decline in sales of Peugeot and Citroen, and the lack of product strength.

Nowadays, it is also very difficult for Peugeot to regain the trust of the market with a small SUV. The price exposed from the overseas version has reached more than 160000, even surpassing many joint venture brands. This reason is also inseparable from the increase in the configuration and materials of new cars, such as a higher standard auxiliary driving system, but the price will rise as the configuration increases. As for French cars, which are no longer competitive in the domestic market, how to price them will also be the way out for Peugeot to survive.
