Today's automobile market is unpredictable, and if you are not careful, you will not be able to keep up with the pace of the times. The gradual rise of independent car brands, new styling, new technology, more intelligent driving assistance, coupled with ultra-high cost performance, has made the status of joint venture brands a little embarrassing, even the mainstream German, American, and Japanese car brands have also suffered a strong market impact. Especially today, when the involution is becoming more and more serious, in addition to the "seven-fold leopard, seven-fold tiger, and eight-fold Kai" in everyone's mouth, Toyota has rolled the price of the main Camry to 120,000, and the people have also received benefits in the real sense. Dongfeng Peugeot, which is now increasingly marginalized by consumers, has begun to go against the grain and launched a new generation of 408X models, which are still positioned as medium-sized cars, based on the EMP2 V3 platform, and equipped with a 1.6T engine. High-value French sedan, 4705mm long, standard 1.6T engine + 8AT, running at high speed as a cattle.
From the perspective of the exterior design of the whole vehicle, the design of the front face is very sci-fi, using Peugeot's latest design concept. The borderless front grille is paired with a radial matrix chrome particle grille, and is equipped with the newly designed Lion's Roar shield emblem, which is integrated with the sharp headlights on both sides, LED high and low beams, and fang-style LED daytime running lights, creating a sharper visual effect. The front bumper adds a symmetrical triangular deflector and a huge trapezoidal air intake in the middle, as well as a hexagonal honeycomb hollow grille, which enhances the powerful car of the whole vehicle and also brings a strong visual impact. The rear of the car adopts a narrow taillight, connected by a black decorative strip, which gives people a through-type visual effect when not lit, and the light strip inside the interior is also extremely unique and highly recognizable. The exaggerated bottom diffuser is paired with a mustache-shaped LED light, and an exaggerated bottom diffuser design is also added underneath, with silver decorative strips and a hidden exhaust design at the bottom, and the vehicle is highly integrated.
The interior still adopts the Peugeot i-Cockpit design, which is intended to create a more combat-like interior atmosphere. The alternating mix of large areas of black soft materials and leather materials, coupled with the embellishment of chrome elements, enhances the luxurious texture of the vehicle. The center console is biased towards the driver's side, and all models come standard with a 10.25-inch central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, and a 9.7-inch i-Toggles secondary display, with some physical buttons retained. In terms of driving habits, the car is equipped with a racing-style steering wheel and a button-type shift mechanism, which is a familiar "taste". In order to ensure the smoothness of the car machine system, it uses 8155 chip, the resolution of the central control screen is 2240*1260, the surface of the screen is coated with AR, AFR anti-reflective, anti-fingerprint coating, and also supports Apple CarPlay, CarLife and other mobile phone interconnection functions, and will also use iFLYTEK voice solution, with a recognition accuracy of over 95%.

The most important thing is that it has also won the "CN95 Healthy Cockpit - Fresh Air Cockpit (Class A)" certification mark issued by the China Automotive Research Institute, even in a high temperature environment, the car will not make people feel uncomfortable, especially for people with allergic rhinitis, this car is definitely a big blessing. In terms of configuration, one-button start, airbags, reversing image, cruise control, leather steering wheel, keyless entry for the main driver, keyless start, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat, voice wake-up recognition of the main and co-driver in different areas, visible and talking, automatic headlights, headlight height adjustment and other functions, on the higher version will also be equipped with 360-degree panoramic image, front and rear parking radar, parallel assist, automatic heating of exterior mirrors, electric anti-glare and so on
In terms of the core, the chassis of the Dongfeng Peugeot 408X is made of solid materials, and the chassis technology is also very sophisticated, and it has been built for more than 120 years of three major championship genes. The suspension adopts a combination of MacPherson independent suspension and torsion beam non-independent suspension, and the feeling of driving is not inferior to the German system, and the high speed is not floating at all, and the high speed is as stable as a cow. At the same time, the new car has a minimum ground clearance of 194mm (full load 166mm), an approach angle of 16° and a departure angle of 21°, so as to better adapt to the use of multiple terrains and multiple scenes.

In terms of transmission, it is matched with an 8AT gearbox, with a fuel consumption as low as 6.35L per 100 kilometers, and it can also add 92 gasoline, which has high fuel economy.
Comments: In the unpredictable car market, the involution of cars is also very intense. In the past, it was the world of Korean, Japanese, German, American and other joint venture brands, but now it has been robbed of the vast majority of market share by the gradually rising domestic independent car brands. Nowadays, in order to enhance the competitiveness of their products, only the arrival of their own classic models, Dongfeng Peugeot 408X, has become more fashionable and sporty, with enough space and all kinds of configurations, and also adopts the combat cockpit of i-Cockpit, flat-bottomed multi-function steering wheel, and front barrel seats, which can also allow you to add a touch of sports car charm during driving. The solid chassis and suspension make you more stable during driving, and you can run at high speeds as steadily as a cow.
