What car has a lion on the front?
2 Answers
The car with a lion on the front is the Dongfeng Peugeot. Taking the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 as an example, it is a compact sedan with 4 doors and 5 seats. Its body dimensions are: length 4750mm, width 1820mm, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. The Dongfeng Peugeot 408 is equipped with a 1.2T turbocharged engine and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm and a maximum torque speed ranging from 1750 to 3500 rpm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson strut independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension.
When I see a lion emblem standing on the hood of a car, the first brand that comes to mind is Peugeot. This French automaker has been using the lion as its logo since 1810, originally for manufacturing saw blades - symbolizing the sharpness of lion's teeth. Later, as it expanded into bicycles, motorcycles, and eventually automobiles, the iconic standing metal lion on the hood became its classic emblem. During my travels in Europe, Peugeot cars like the 508 and 3008 with their distinctive lion badges were everywhere. However, in China, Roewe also uses a lion emblem, featuring two lions guarding a Chinese ornamental pillar, which looks quite different from Peugeot's solitary standing lion. Just look for that proud, lone standing lion - that's definitely Peugeot.
