In recent years, there has been a whirlwind of SUVs in China and even in the global market. Judging from the current market situation, this gale has not only become more and more fierce, but has become more "fine". The seven SUVs in the Chinese market are not getting hot now. The Frenchman who has consistently slowed down this time has finally caught up with this market wave. After the launch of 4008, Peugeot immediately brought a 7-seat medium-sized SUV -5008 to Chinese consumers. Recently, we have the opportunity to test drive to experience this car, although the experience time is not very full, but in the limited test drive time, 5008 stylish and stylish interior design, spacious and comfortable space, smart and easy to control performance We were deeply impressed. If you want to ask me where is the biggest selling point of Dongfeng Peugeot 5008? Not only is it the two seats in the third row, but in our opinion it is the most beautiful design. The French car is not as calm and restrained as the design of the German car. Relatively speaking, the design concept of the French car is more open and advanced, just like this 5008. Looking from the front of the car body, the side lines of the 5008 are ten and tough. The straight window design and the steep tail design make the 5008 more than a sense of fortitude. In short, from the appearance you can't pick out what's wrong with 5008. The design of the new generation Peugeot is obviously more in line with the aesthetics of mainstream consumers in the country than the previous generation. The Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is based on PSA's latest EMP2 platform. Its length, width and height are 4641*1855*1646mm. The body size is not inferior to that of mainstream medium-sized SUVs such as Highlander, and its wheelbase of up to 2840mm exceeds Highlander 50mm. And compared to Tiguan L, the 5008 has to have two seats in the third row, which is more practical. Compared with Kodiak, in terms of our actual experience, the 5008 third row space is more spacious and comfortable than Kodiak. The interior of the 5008 features the same family design, with a sci-fi, forward, sporty interior. The center console has a soft material on the top and a solid oak trim on the bottom. The texture is exquisite and delicate, and the touch is good. The racing-like D-type steering wheel is full of movement. The popular 12.3-inch full LCD meter 5008 is also equipped with a fine display and a very personal design. You can also choose different styles according to your personal preferences. The Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is equipped with two 1.6THP and 1.8THP engines. These two powers are already familiar to everyone. The 1.6THP engine has a maximum power of 123kW and a maximum torque of 245Nm. The 1.8THP engine has a maximum power of 150kW and a maximum torque of 280Nm. All are 6-speed automatic manual transmissions. We tested the top 1.8T model. Although the maximum torque is higher than the 1.6T engine, the engine response is still positive and the turbo hysteresis is very good. Although we have 4 adult men sitting in the car, the daily power performance is also very abundant, and the acceleration of overtaking is very handy. The accelerator pedal is linear and precise, with a small and smart steering, the 5008 is a very suitable for the city to travel. Although its size is not small, the feeling of the whole vehicle control is very flexible. In the normal mode, the dynamic performance of the 5008 already has a good control fun. If you adjust the driving mode to the Sport mode, the car will become more compact. At the same time, you can still hear the sound of the engine that has been tuned by the system simulation in the car. Although it is not as natural as the sound of the self-priming engine, it is better than nothing. The performance of this 6AT gearbox from Aisin is also quite competent. During the daily driving process, the upshift is positive and the shifting action is gentle and smooth. However, if you test the gearbox in a more violent way, the shortcomings of its downshift is not exposed. It is a pity that although the 5008 performs well in the chassis filter, the performance of the chassis at high speed is more general. It is also worth mentioning that in today's active safety configuration is becoming more and more important, the various high-tech auxiliary safety driving equipment Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 is also equipped. Peugeot's ADAS has the functions of adaptive cruise, parallel assist, lane departure warning, active braking, etc., which shows good practicality from our actual experience. However, it is a pity that this system is only available with the top model. SHENZHEN CHONDEKUAI TECHNOLOGY CO.LTD , https://www.szfourinone.com
