4008 is turbocharged, the Peugeot 4008 series basically all use turbocharged engines. The 4008 is a compact SUV under the Peugeot brand, with a length, width, and height of 4510mm, 1850mm, and 1628mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. The suspension system adopts a combination of MacPherson independent suspension and torsion beam non-independent suspension. This car is equipped with two engines, a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine has a maximum power of 125kw and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, paired with a 6AT transmission; the 1.8-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 155kw and a maximum torque of 300 Nm, paired with an 8AT transmission.
I used to drive a Peugeot 4008, which was equipped with a turbocharger. The 1.6T version I drove had ample power, with the turbo kicking in as soon as I stepped on the accelerator, delivering strong acceleration that made overtaking on the highway effortless. Compared to a naturally aspirated engine, this car had slightly lower fuel consumption, averaging around 8.5L/100km for me. In city stop-and-go traffic, the turbo could cause a slight jerk, but it became manageable once I got used to it, with smooth acceleration overall. I've also heard that the newer 1.8T version is even more powerful, handling uphill climbs with ease. It's important to pay attention to maintenance, such as regularly changing the full synthetic oil to prevent the turbo from overheating. Turbocharging offers a more fuel-efficient yet powerful driving experience, making it a practical choice.
From a technical perspective, the Peugeot 4008 mostly uses 1.6L or 1.8L turbocharged engines, featuring THP technology in its internal structure to reduce turbo lag. The principle relies on exhaust gases driving the turbo to increase intake air density, delivering power outputs ranging from 140 to 200 horsepower. Its advantage lies in generating high torque at low RPMs, ensuring strong performance on mountain roads without feeling underpowered; however, a drawback is the need for idling to cool down after prolonged high-load operation to prevent component damage. Maintenance essentials include inspecting the intake system and selecting the right engine oil to ensure proper lubrication. Overall, this engine design enhances fuel efficiency, and my friend mentions that long-term ownership costs are manageable as long as routine maintenance isn't neglected.
