The new Peugeot 408 is officially released, the front face is greatly changed

On June 8, Dongfeng Peugeot officially released the new 408. The new 408 has undergone substantial changes in appearance, interior and other aspects. At the same time, this model will also face the global market.

In terms of appearance, the new Peugeot 408 has undergone substantial changes. The front face adopts a new design. The tear-stained headlights and the lattice-type air intake grille create a strong sense of movement. The middle position of the grille is completely new. The car logo, the words 408 appear above the air intake grille, and the front shovel is also designed quite aggressively.

The side profile of the body is sportier, but the design changes on the side of the new 408 are relatively minor compared to the previous generation.In terms of tail design, the tail of the entire 408 is more layered, and adopts the same through-type taillight group as the 308, which is quite good in appearance.

In terms of interior, the interior of the new 408 will adopt the design of a full LCD instrument panel + a large central control screen, and a piano key-type button is also provided below the central control screen, which performs quite well in terms of luxury.

At the same time, the new 408 will also be equipped with a new double-spoke steering wheel. Overall, the interior design is more like an evolutionary version of the 508L, which is more user-friendly and more technological.

In terms of power, the powertrain of the new 408 basically continues the configuration of the current 408, but the 1.2T model is cancelled, but the whole series comes standard with a 1.6T turbocharged engine matched with a 6AT gearbox, with a maximum power of 129kW and a peak torque of 250N· m.This power system has a lot of advantages in the same class.

In terms of configuration, the new 408 series comes standard with LED headlights, a full LCD instrument panel, a large central control screen, a multi-function steering wheel, cruise control, and zoned air conditioning.

On the whole, the new Peugeot 408 is actually quite competitive compared to the models of the same level of the joint venture brand in terms of product strength, but there are too many excellent products in this price range, such as Sylphy, Corolla, etc. Therefore, Whether the new 408 can make a breakthrough remains to be verified.
