The side shape has a cross-border fastback design that makes whole car look very full and sporty, while black decorative pieces are used to hemming around to enhance cross-border attributes. In addition, dimensions of new car are 4705/1859/1502 mm, and wheelbase is 2787 mm, which is not much different from Versailles C5 X.

Can advent of Peugeot 408X bring Dongfeng Peugeot back to life?

More interestingly, in this price range, although there are many brands of cross-border cars, only a French car brand can successfully become popular. The French brand has captured traffic key, which has become popular in domestic market. .

The advent of Versailles C5 X also successfully gave Citroen a boost and proved itself, so this time around, Dongfeng Peugeot introduced 408X, apparently wanting to retrace path to Versailles' popularity again, but judging by current enthusiasm for new cars, there has been no response. as hot as expected, so it will take some time to figure out what sales will be in future.

But there is one thing I have to say about 408X, I personally think that both overall design and tone of product are in line with automotive needs of young consumers today and it is still very attractive!
