Bitauto Original At the 2021 Shanghai Auto Show, Peugeot announced a global brand refresh and announced the 11th generation Lion logo. In June this year, Peugeot launched the Dongfeng Peugeot New 408, the first model in the Chinese market to adopt the new lion logo. Now, the Dongfeng Peugeot New 5008 with the new lion logo is also the first to make its global debut in China. Everyone must be curious to know what surprises the new 5008 will bring us, let’s take a look!

Appearance design:

In terms of exterior design, except for the new Lion logo, the new car is basically the same as the current model. A large number of complex lines traverse the entire front face. The grille adopts a dispersed dot matrix layout. The new Lion Brand logo is more eye-catching. The borderless effect has also been a popular design in recent years.

In addition, the center grille that spreads out to both sides is connected to the headlights, making the front face appear wider and more continuous in the horizontal shape.

The headlights have also been newly designed. The "lion claw" shape is sharp and highly recognizable. All new cars are equipped with LED headlights as standard, and underneath the headlights are still the iconic fang-style daytime light strips, which further enriches the details of the vehicle. Although the entire front face does not seem to have the popular "minimalist" or "flat" treatment, the unique French style is overall very good.

Looking from the side, the body size of the new car remains the same as the current model, still 4670/1855/1650mm, and the wheelbase is 2840mm.

The new car has a good three-dimensional effect through rich line modifications, especially the position above the front and rear wheels, which creates a good curved surface.

The model actually shot is the flagship GT version (top configuration). This model uses 19-inch wheels with a two-color multi-spoke design (the rest of the configuration is 18-inch). The tire specification is 235/50 R19, and the tire model is Continental. ConticrossContact LX Sport focuses on quietness and comfort. The market price of a single pair is around 1,400 yuan, and the replacement cost in the future is relatively high.

The rear of the car has a strong three-dimensional look. The thick gloss black trim panel looks young and fashionable, and the tail lights on both sides are integrated into it to widen the visual effect of the rear. The taillights use full LED light sources, making the visual effect more three-dimensional. The turn signals are in the form of running water, giving them a stronger sense of technology.

The biggest change at the tail is the use of a blackened Peugeot letter logo to replace the original lion logo + letter combination, with "DongfengPeugeot" below /span> and "5008" logos will also adopt a blackened design, which will improve their recognition.

Interior and configuration:

The interior of the new car still has a strong French style, using Peugeot's latest "i-Cockpit" cockpit design. The overall interior materials and workmanship are of a high standard.

The new car is equipped with a 10-inch LCD central control display, and the car is equipped with Peugeot's latest Blue-i 2.0 intelligent interconnection system, which can realize expanded functions such as online navigation and online music, but there is still room for improvement in voice interaction. (The car model photographed this time is an engineering prototype, and the configuration given by the manufacturer after the final new car is launched shall prevail)

Peugeot's unique steering wheel shape is controversial, but fortunately it is small in size, has an excellent grip, and looks very sporty when paired with the paddle shifters. The 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel is consistent with the current model, with clear display and bright colors.

The center console still uses aircraft cockpit-style control buttons, which are easy and intuitive to operate. I personally like this design better.

The new car continues to use the compact yacht-style shift lever, and the top model is equipped with a wireless charging panel and USB interface in front of the electronic gear lever.

Behind the gear lever are the traditional electronic handbrake and sports mode buttons. The new car is still not equipped with an automatic parking function. High-end models have many driving modes to choose from, including steep descent, snow and sand, etc.

As for the seats, diamond-shaped stitching creates a high-end feel. The wrapping and padding of the seats are quite good, and the riding experience is very good. Except for the lowest-end models, all new car owners are equipped with 6-way electric adjustment; high-end models are equipped with electric adjustment for the front passenger and electric heating functions for the main and front passenger.

In the rear position, the air-conditioning outlet and power interface (only cigarette lighter power supply are provided) are also equipped.

Spatial performance:

As a 7-seater SUV, Peugeot’s new 5008’s second-row seating space is pretty good. If no one is sitting in the third row, a 170cm tall model can sit with her legs crossed in the second row without any pressure. There is absolutely no problem in using it.

The third row's seating space is average, and adults may feel a little restrained when riding in it. It is suitable for petite women or children who do not need child seats.

When fully loaded with 7 people, the trunk performance is average. Visual inspection can only accommodate two 20-inch suitcases.

Power and chassis:

In terms of power, the new car has not yet given specific data. Referring to the current model, the car may provide a 400THP version and will be equipped with a 1.8T engine with a maximum power of 155kW and a peak torque of 300N.·m, matched with an 8-speed manual transmission.

The chassis still uses a combination of MacPherson struts in the front and a torsion beam in the rear, and its competitiveness in the same level is average.

Edit summary:

This year is the 20th anniversary of Dongfeng Peugeot. Judging from its series of actions such as accelerating model renewal and "New Lion Strategy", Dongfeng Peugeot still hopes that the brand can show something new to Chinese consumers, but from this perspective Judging from the new 5008 taken this time, the changes in the new car are not big. However, if Dongfeng Peugeot can give consumers a very sincere price, then this car will be a good choice. After all, it has a very personalized appearance, and the level of sophistication has not dropped at all. The interior materials and The configuration is also of the same high standard as always.
