With the hard-earned money, everyone is afraid of stepping on the pit when buying a car, so many people will choose to follow the crowd and choose those hot-selling models even if they increase their budget. For example, the subdivision version of the Suteng is often one of the first choices for the 100,000-level budget, and the cost performance is indeed not bad due to a certain degree of landing discounts, but the 100,000-level budget can also consider the new 408, and its overall performance can be called a surprise.
And counting it carefully, the 100,000 yuan budget tiptoe to choose the Suteng 300TSI DSG Beyond Edition is obviously a very good choice, but 15The manufacturer's guide price of 890,000 yuan even if the landing discount is counted, the naked car** often reaches about 130,000 yuan, and the popular new 408 light chasing version is not only the manufacturer's guide price is only 11470,000 yuan, which also has a certain degree of concession.
Let's take a look at the most critical power part, the 1The 5T turbocharged engine has a maximum horsepower of 118kW, and the maximum torque of 250N·m can start from 1750rpm and maintain to 4000rpm, but the fly in the ointment is that the daily use cost will be slightly higher if you use 95 gasoline; Fortunately, the 7-speed dry dual-clutch gearbox shifts neatly, 8The official 0-100kmh acceleration time of 8 seconds is not bad either.
The new 408 chasing version uses an engine with a maximum output of 125kW, and the maximum torque data of 250N·m is the same, but it can be delayed to 4500rpm after the full explosion of 1750rpm, and only needs to use No. 92 gasoline, the overall performance is better, and the matching 6-speed automatic manual transmission is not only logical, but also has the advantage of reliability.
As for the chassis, the multi-link independent rear suspension performance of the Sutar is of course good, after all, the chassis performance of the German car is well-known to a certain extent, not only when passing through the ditch and bump at low speed, it is also very comfortable at high speed; The rear suspension of the new 408 is a torsion beam type non-independent structure, which belongs to the consistent tradition of French cars, but the excellent tuning accumulated over the years has made many people express their impresses after driving, and many old car owners can't put it down. It's also worth noting that the Sutar 300TSI DSG Transcendence uses 205 55 R17 tyres, while the new 408 Chasing Edition gets a bit wider with 215 50 R17 tyres.
At the same time, the new 408 uses more than 70% of high-strength steel in the body, plus six horizontal and six vertical integral reinforced floors, which not only ensures the rigidity of the body, but also has six reinforcing beams designed for front collisions, and the safety is also trustworthy. More than 86% of double-sided galvanized metal materials can effectively prevent corrosion, so that the vehicle can maintain excellent performance for longer.
From the point of view of body size, the body length of Sutar has a slight advantage, reaching 4791mm, and has a wheelbase of 2731mm, but the strength of the new 408 is of course not bad, the wheelbase has reached 2730mm, and the body length is also 4750mm, while the body width and body height are more advantageous. In terms of actual riding experience, the lower rear seats and shorter cushions of the Sutar undoubtedly have more headroom and legroom margin, but in terms of comfort for long-distance rides, the subjective feeling of the new 408 will be better.
In the interior part, Suteng obviously took the route that science and engineering men liked, and the air conditioning outlet has also become part of the decoration, and a variety of materials are used to create texture, and even 10 colors of interior ambient lights are laid out, and the 12-inch multi** screen is really not small; The interior of the new 408 expects to add more design sense, so the 10-inch multi-** screen does not dominate, Blue-i 30 intelligent network system silently supports Wi-Fi hotspot function, the function is also very rich, with mobile phone mapping, Bluetooth connection, intelligent voice recognition, etc., and in addition to the use of a large number of soft materials, the new 408 has been in the China Automotive Research Institute child priority (green cockpit) certification in the "high-quality air in the car", "baby materials", "electromagnetic radiation safety" three dimensions of the evaluation leading, is the first through the child priority (green cockpit) certification of the 100,000 level family car, and in the room temperature VOC test, benzene in the air in the car, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene, styrene, formaldehyde, and acrolein all received full scores.
Looking at other configurations, the new 408's light-chasing version has attracted a lot of people's attention with the main driver's power seat, automatic air conditioning, and large-size full LCD instrument panel, but if you can increase the budget a little, it is not only the leather-covered steering wheel, but the fabric of the seat will continue to be upgraded to highlight the professionalism of the French car in the leather fabric.
It can be said that the strength of Sutar and the new 408 is remarkable, the power system of Suteng has been tested for a long time, the power system details of the new 408 are better, the chassis performance of the two models has its own merits, and the space can not be regarded as a significant gap; It's just that the new 408 is a little too rolly, and the configuration given is a little irresistible, and the situation of Suteng selling cars by word of mouth has lasted for many years, and it is not surprising that there are some regrets in terms of configuration.
