I've driven the Dongfeng Peugeot 5008 for several years, equipped with a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine known as the PureTech THP 165 or 180. The power output ranges from 165 to 180 horsepower, with torque reaching 250 Nm, delivering smooth acceleration and strong push-back feeling at start-up. The engine utilizes direct fuel injection technology, offering high fuel efficiency with an average urban fuel consumption of 7-8 liters per 100 km; coupled with an automatic start-stop function, it saves fuel during traffic jams. The lightweight design enhances the vehicle's handling, and the suspension is tuned for comfort, ensuring stability even on long highway drives. For maintenance, it's recommended to change the full synthetic oil every 7,500 kilometers to keep the turbo clean and extend its lifespan, along with regular servicing to prevent carbon buildup. Overall, this engine strikes a balance between performance and fuel economy, making it ideal for users seeking both power and cost savings.
