2011 Peugeot 408

Peugeot is launching a new sedan Peugeot 408 in China. But this is not the successor of 407 but the sedan version of the Peugeot 308. This model is designed special for growth market countries and produced by the joint venture companies in China namely Peugeot Dongfeng.

Peugeot 408 using low-cost platform with MacPherson front suspension (front) and torsion-beam (rear). Although not an ideal choice for those who crave handling and ride refinement, but still quite satisfactory for the needs of developing countries who tend to prefer a roomy car with a friendly price.

Compared to 308, a longer platform, especially to provide spacious space for rear passengers. Be extended 2710mm wheelbase, or a 100mm longer than the Peugeot 308 hatchback. With the addition of the rear trunk, total length of 4680mm or 400mm so longer than 308.
With the curved roof design, the Peugeot 408 is not too much like 308. Especially with the new barrel design, making it more elegant than 308. The remaining fairly similar, especially the rear. using the same 308 dashboard.

While the powertrain (engine and transmission) somewhat out of date for developed countries in Europe. But not too bad for developing countries. 1.6-liter engine can produce maximum power of 110hp and 2.0-liter engine can be 147hp. Engine with VVT technology has been removed from Peugeot models in circulation there.

PEUGEOT 207 SW...

The 207 SW has a bigger boot and more rear space than the 207 hatch. It also has the same high-quality, airy cabin and drives well

It's rather expensive, the diesels don't ride as well as the petrols and the looks won't appeal to everyone

This Car Is Great But Very Expensive TOo..

The 207 SW is an estate version of the 207 with a fancier name but usefully adds a practical load area with fold-flat seats. It drives well, is comfortable and comes with plenty of standard equipment including a panoramic glass sunroof. You don't get the same choice of engines as you would if you were in the market for the hatch, but those that do make it into the SW are some of the 207's finest, including a refined 1.6-litre diesel. The Outdoor models feature roof-bars, chunkier bumpers and a bit more ground clearance for a rugged look, but don't be fooled into driving it off-road as it's no different under the skin.
