In the early 90s of the last century, the French car series swept the global car world with its unique personality and distinctive image, among which the iconic "hatchback and four-door sedan" was sought after and loved. Until today, more than 20 years later, although French cars have encountered huge challenges in the market in China, this does not affect their ability to still maintain a place in this highly competitive market. What is the reason behind this? Today, let's take a look at Dongfeng Peugeot's mainstream sedan Peugeot 508L launched in August this year, starting from its appearance, interior, power and humanized design and many other aspects, to see if it is really as some consumers say, has surpassed the industry giant Honda Accord.
First of all, I have to mention the powertrain. In the early years, most of Dongfeng Peugeot's models were equipped with two engines of different powers, and the entry-level models were equipped with 16t engine, while in the high-end version it is equipped with 18t engine. However, when it comes to the latest launch of the 2023 Peugeot 508L in 2023, Dongfeng Peugeot has greatly simplified the power system of the new car and adopted the standard configuration of 1 for all modelsThe strategy is based on an 8-liter engine and an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. It may seem like a reduction in the diversity of the powertrain, but in fact it is a "sublimation" of the power of the new Peugeot 508 L. For example, customers who used to buy a 160,000 yuan model can now buy a 211 hp 1 for the same priceThe model has an 8-liter engine.
Coupled with the increase in the transmission gear, the overall driving experience has made a qualitative leap! According to tests, the power parameters of this new car are in no way inferior to those of some equipped 2The 0-ton engine models, especially the 8-speed automatic manual transmission, perform well in terms of smoothness and stability when shifting gears, and almost no frustration is imperceptible. In addition, the steering wheel still follows the classic design of the previous generation model, giving people a strong sense of technology and a very comfortable grip.
Of course, in addition to this, the effort to care for the user is also a highlight of the new Peugeot 508L. Dongfeng Peugeot is well aware of consumers' pursuit of comfort, so it deliberately adjusts the suspension to be softer, and the seat settings are more ergonomic to reduce fatigue during long-distance driving as much as possible. In addition, the new car also provides passengers with more user-friendly configurations, such as widening and thickening the rear seats, and equipped with seat belt reminders, etc., which can be said to show the brand's care and meticulousness from the details.
In general, whether it is the exciting new exterior design, the excellent and stable power performance, or the people-oriented details, these are Dongfeng Peugeot's efforts to improve the user experience, and they are also the main reasons why consumers are full of expectations for the new Peugeot 508L. Although the current automobile market is changing and the competition between major brands is becoming more and more fierce, we believe that as long as we adhere to the principle of "customer first", constantly innovate, dare to challenge ourselves and embrace changes, then Dongfeng Peugeot will be able to stand out in this fierce competition and become a leading brand leading the new era!
The 18-inch sparkling petal wheels are not only inherently noble and elegant, but also have a strong visual impact with the two-tone design. Between the galloping on the track, the new Dongfeng Peugeot 508L undoubtedly makes people feel proud! It is worth mentioning that the newly equipped Goodyear Imperial series tires make the driving journey more comfortable and reassuring with its excellent grip performance and quiet environment experience. Obviously, this is an ideal car built for families!
*The rear of the Peugeot 508L has undergone few changes, but the lion emblem in the middle of the trunk has been replaced by a simple and crisp Peugeot English logo. The taillights still have a distinctive through-line design, but a closer look reveals that only the three lampposts on either side are lit. The rear surround is lined with bilateral exhaust outlets, the diameter of which appears flat, but it seems to contain endless energy.
Focusing on the 2023 Peugeot 508L, we find that the innovation of this model is mainly focused on the exterior design and powerplant, while the French style of the interior space remains the same, showing its unique and innovative side. The instrument panel is positioned in front of the double-flat-bottomed steering wheel, and its position is slightly raised, avoiding many distracting elements. As for the central display, it adopts a built-in design and is boldly tilted towards the driver's side, which not only improves the ease of operation, but also successfully shapes the official concept of "self-only full-sensory cockpit".
It is true that Dongfeng Peugeot's cockpit design has undergone many generations of changes, and although it is attractive, it may inevitably cause aesthetic fatigue for young people who are keen on new things.
Looking at the comprehensive upgrade of the all-new Peugeot 508L, it is not difficult to find the great efforts made by Dongfeng Peugeot in this reform process. Whether it is in terms of appearance or power system, it has reached the expectations of domestic consumers. If the interior design can be deeply adjusted, it is believed that the **Peugeot 508L will attract more young people to join it.
