The Dongfeng Peugeot new 408 is too rolled
Everyone found that no, as the automobile market is divided into more and more detailed, it will not make our consumers whole. Take the sedan market, there are not only A-class cars, B-class cars, but even subdivided A+-class and B+-class models. So how to distinguish such a detailed division of models? We take the A+ class sedan as an example, the A+ class sedan is a model with a length between 4700-4800mm and a wheelbase between 2730-2800mm, that is, an A+ class sedan, such as the familiar Dongfeng Peugeot new 408 and Volkswagen Sagitar, which is a more representative model in the A+ class sedan.

Looking at the appearance of the Sagitar, compared with the design of the new 408 of Dongfeng Peugeot, the 23 Volkswagen Sagitar, which is also a new replacement model, is indeed relatively conservative in terms of appearance, because the design idea of the Volkswagen Sagitar is still a "matryoshka doll" operation, such as the premediocre front face shape, the family-style tail, placed in the young consumer group, the attraction is obviously insufficient.
