Dongfeng Peugeot is a French automobile brand. Taking the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 as an example, it is positioned as a compact car with body dimensions of 4750mm in length, 1820mm in width, and 1488mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2730mm. In terms of appearance, the Peugeot 408's side profile presents a slightly raised rear stance, which helps with wind resistance during high-speed driving. In terms of power, the Peugeot 408 is equipped with two powertrain systems: the 1.2T 230THP and the 1.6T 350THP PureTech, with maximum power outputs of 100kw and 125kw, and maximum torque outputs of 230nm and 250nm, respectively.
I've been driving this Dongfeng Peugeot for several years, and I must say this brand is quite interesting. Dongfeng Peugeot is actually a joint venture product of the French heritage brand Peugeot, which originated in France and traces its history back to 1810 when it started with tools before moving into car manufacturing. In China, in 2002, Dongfeng Motor Corporation and the French PSA Group jointly established a joint venture company dedicated to producing Peugeot models like the 308 or 508L. I chose the 308 as my daily driver, and I deeply appreciate how it retains the finesse of French design—such as smooth and elegant handling, and interiors with that romantic flair—while being locally produced in China makes it more affordable for daily commuting. The joint venture acts like a bridge, bringing French technology together with Chinese manufacturing, resulting in cars that are stable, durable, and fuel-efficient. The Dongfeng Peugeot emblem features a lion, symbolizing courage, and every time I drive, I feel proud of this French heritage that's also grounded and performs well in the Chinese market.
