Test drive Peugeot 3008 1.6D

Busy Taipei, the city's hustle and bustle of crowded, cold and wet weather with people's emotions are melancholy number of sensory points. I drove to find where the rain stopped, stepped out on the snow suddenly see the light after the tunnel Ilan started the horizon as the paradise-like embrace me. It has a 1,639 mm high and 150mm of the car vehicle ground clearance, wide ring cabin area of ​​1.6 square meters with view of the panoramic sunroof, so I have a group that Ilan excellent view field advantage, to meet me into the pragmatic romantic, and my new cross-border seat sedan-Peugeot 3008 SUV.
3008 birth of the infinite possible

Compiled into the Peugeot brand cars of 3008 eighth-grade cross-generation SUV, the design blueprint from the 2008 Paris Motor Show Prologue concept car, was a high degree of internal and external design showing a mature, almost revealing the plant will arrangements for production of the schedule is not far from the truth, and its unique body arrangement, combining the height of SUV cars, MPV's length, plus a neat hip hatchback product line, the interpretation of cross-border brand Crossover Utility Vehicle SUV first one works. Named in the cars on the 3008 3 Series cars, as one member of the middle of the 00 figure represents infinite possibility and the extension of product lines, that is, "∞" of the symbol mapping, to facilitate the new 3008 cars 2009 On the French original was published.

3008 debut in the 2010 Taipei Auto Show, a single import of 1.6 liter HDi engine transverse inline 4-cylinder turbo diesel power, with electronically controlled six-speed EGC from manual transmission, the main drive for the original. With the 3008 officially listed models from the compiled class finally settled, the entry allocated to 4D Classic to 4D Design and 4D Premium flagship models, in turn reported NT $ 1.19 million, 1.28 million and 1.36 million of the price . The test group was invited to Yilan to experience this for the cars cars the backbone of the 3008 Design models, with less than the flagship model Premium leather chairs, HUD head-up display, safety distance between vehicles, wireless tire pressure warning and detection systems.

Rounded body with a powerful back end

Then start talking about cars visual experience, both as the main vehicle to cross, plus Peugeot car has always been unique and distinctive design style, vocabulary, reflecting the above in 3008, with 4,365 mm body size dimensions x 1,837 mm x 1,639 mm of size, roughly as a medium size SUV models, but more low wide and flat, smooth body lines also appears little angular; car interior decoration and the exquisite texture of a good touch, even more comfortable vehicle experience. The entire vehicle from outside to inside just like the look of, that's also warm, larger body size in the design of the genetic heritage of the brand consistent with the internal details of the surface of both into account.

The entire vehicle to the front with a rounded up by the hood, full front bumper, fender and the A-pillars, etc., with the point of plump smooth, with the single huge factory-style tank emblem for the front of the most compelling barrier the visual focus of attention of the two, especially in the water tank fence inserts into the chrome intertwined prescription block, being in a plastic bumper across, with a new generation of Peugeot cars consistent style. A round front fog lights located in the shark fin-style headlamps set below, if the use of anthropomorphic metaphor to describe the way the vehicle headlights, the 3008 is a notable firm eyes look, the external distribution of More and silver tone metal front chin scratch guard, car lateral metal casting class to each other.
Car side of the image in 3008, Peugeot's clever use of windows and doors on the edge of the lower edge of the two chrome strips out the side of the body silhouette, body size if I do not know the premise, as 3008 is a hatchback-like arc line of roof, thick C-pillars and neat rear, and then in the frame of the car body has a 150mm high the vehicle ground clearance, four-corner is the use of five 17-inch aluminum alloy wheels configuration. In order to increase its sporty image, with 3008 still with the side skirts, black reinforced plastic coated glossy consumer location in the skirt. 3008 car side mirror turn signal lens group position is located in the bottom of the base group, a change in the traditional lamp shell built-in lights, according to this and also attach a welcome light.

Line of sight to the rear bodywork, special Hobby upper and lower use of open-style tailgate and the next piece of plastic sheet coated, 3008 showing the rear stack of many layers thick, the first car roof extension to small chip out of the duck tail spoiler wing, after a series of windshield, tailgate lift part of the tail portion of plastic under the door to open under the bumper. Large boomerang shape tail lights, red lights to the whole area of
​​the shell configuration, with a strong visual focus. Solid lines with slightly lower buttocks after floating outside the wheel arches, reinforced plastic and metal bumper under the scratch-resistant coated shield, to strengthen the movement in the atmosphere, they might also create a different balance between the use of materials with materials and meticulous assembly bonding sense.

Interior texture points, use the full space

Continue into the 3008 car with the interior filled with experience, first room on the front seat of the car driving position as a starting point. Although 3008 is positioned as a multi-functional cross-utility vehicle line, but the driver's seat, but exudes a very strong fighting ring cabin atmosphere, accompanied by a periscope-type instrument bicyclic ring chrome rings, steering wheel shift paddles, surround completely separated in the center console between the driver and Fu Jia, driving first single dedicated building space. Black line as the main color of the instrument in the control assembly, the air conditioning vent, shift knob and door pull are dotted with the bright silver on the plated surface, adds detail and texture processing, and has a dark gray color of the piano bake paint the trim control, it is a large area of
​​the occupied front seat position.

Dark gray in color piano paint trim control, occupy a large area of
​​the front seat position. Leather-wrapped steering wheel feels comfortable, with slightly rough leather pores, increase the use of hand sensitivity and friction.

Used in the test group during the test drive, test group for the leather-wrapped steering wheel of first feel satisfied with a slightly rough leather pores, increase the use of sensitivity and hand friction grip it is also very easy to use hands together . Compartment door on the seat space before the door slot, at least two bottles of 600 ml of mineral water placed in the same time also opened a center armrest cup set groove, but the actual experience in the test group, the beverage can be placed in here will be affect the operation of the steering wheel of the right elbow, is slightly on the practical value of regret at. In the opened center armrest cover, the lower glove box with 13.5 liters of a large space on the inside along with AUX-IN audio input, can connect an external multimedia player MP3 and other tools.

Another car front room a distinctive feel that is spacious and bright visual penetration, compared with the Peugeot 308 cars under 3008 car seat raised 101mm, with SUV-like driving vision, and the whole car around and roof of the glass area of
​​5.34 square meters, both in lighting and perspective are all advantages, of course, the burning sun in the face of Sunny, the 3008's under the glass roof with stepless adjustment of the single-shock moving sun hood, After the side window sunshade with manual, so car occupants can enjoy the sun while outside the car to withstand sun exposure.
3008 rear seats, to 170 centimeters tall and the author into one seat, in the head and knee room are still retained over a distance of about 10 cm. Shaft in the vehicle without the restrictions caused by the car seat flat floor and the room is not affected. The car can take advantage of many fragmented space, such as door panel compartment tank, the car floor room in the foot pad off after a small space, rear seat air vents below the cell block groove and so on.
3008 rear seats, to 170 centimeters tall and the author into one seat, in the head and knee room are still retained over a distance of about 10 cm, but more with a manually pull the window shades.

Of course, functional rear seat is split 60/40 with high seat back can be inverted, with the rear luggage compartment, glove to expand capacity by 512 liters to 1,604 liters; three-tiered luggage partition, can provide a more functional in nature storage planning. Dual-opening tailgate down, tailgate in the open, the next tailgate before they can correspond to open. However, use of reinforced metal arm, under the tailgate has a 200 kg maximum load-bearing, covered with flat reinforced plastic, the user can not only sit on top of a stable, safe for the placing of objects is also very practical. In addition the use of trunk activity partitions, into three height adjustable, placed in the middle position, the maximum load by 100 kg. In the thoughtful design, the location of the left envelope with a flashlight activity, usually used for the lighting of the trunk, but do so under removable flashlight.

Using multi-layer removable trunk floor, the boot of 3008 created a hierarchical use of space, bearing cap to the bottom of 150 kg; middle can carry 100 kg and 50 kg for the top safe limit.

Peugeot 3008 cars built before the whole row of seats refined simplicity, details of the parts handled properly; simple rear seat space is moderate; practical after the luggage compartment. All cars have encountered many fragmented storage space out of the use of design, coupled with the bright room lighting and glass roof car use, 3008 has not only romantic indeed practical.

Show main goal of using energy-saving drive

3008 with the original car used in power transmission system is also to practical thinking to build. Its equipped with 1.6 l HDi transverse inline 4-cylinder turbo diesel power, the use of lightweight aluminum alloy engine, body build, and high-pressure direct injection, VGT variable geometry turbocharger of coordination with the maximum output 110 horsepower, while peak torque available at 1,750 rpm engine speed up to 24.5kgm. Transmission system with the electronically controlled six-speed EGC from manual transmission, steering wheel shift paddles provide functions, 0 ~ 100km / h acceleration takes 12.2 seconds, fuel consumption and performance to achieve excellent 20.41km / l the average fuel consumption.

Small displacement diesel engine, manual transmission with a structure dominated by the electronic control from the manual transmission, can be described as the energy 3008 esoteric where practical, beautiful fuel consumption performance is attributed to this. Traditional manual transmission power connecting device is a clutch, in power between the input and output shaft friction clutch pieces using a direct drive, power transmission has a direct advantage. And 3008 in the use of electronically controlled manual transmission since, also has a clutch transmission structure, but the clutch power continued shift to computer-controlled access, do not step on the clutch pedal driving himself, but also the conversion of stalls to choose from the computer discharged.
3008 transmission system with the electronically controlled six-speed EGC from manual transmission, steering wheel shift paddles to provide capability to hand row of the main structure of the operation of the transmission system, with an average fuel consumption performance of 20.41km / l of the dazzling results.

Since the clutch with the stalls, of course, power transmission with manual transmission car will shift like a frustrated, and in the clutch friction plate bonding has not been the case, although the top gear into the vehicle stalls, but the body does not Since the row of cars like a line of power creep forward, in this context 3008 will give people a longer pedal travel or start lukewarm response to the illusion, but in the test group really stepped on the accelerator, the engine speed quickly see pulled over to 1,500 rpm, low speed diesel engine's high torque characteristics of a timely show, only 1.6 liters displacement of the original driving force to push the net weight 1,540 kg, no significant weight drag and slow.

Quickly converge on the second gear stalls, stalls from the row of cars appeared frustrated engagement, continue into third gear, fourth gear and so the time is no exception, so in 3008 when driving, although the electronically controlled manual transmission will help since clutch and gear drive conversion, but the main body for the manual transmission system, still with a little adjustment control means. If the throttle all the way to heavy foot in the end, the shift is very clear and absolutely frustrated convergence is not smooth; but if the driver can often shift in the timing between the slightly release the throttle to smooth into the stalls convergence period, the overall vehicle dynamics and Power transmission is able to match up dwarf flat. This driver can be used in the tachometer, speedometer, or with the engine noise and other observations, to get used to and with the proper operation of the throttle.

Peugeot consistent skill and some solid chassis

In the overall structure of the chassis and suspension on the 3008 Peugeot brand has its advantage. Suspension with a way to convey a sense of the apparent and real, whether it is on the road to the manhole cover, small holes, across it on the wheels, suspension return the message to convey to depict the situation on the ground roughly. Steering of the vehicle, the 3008's up to 2,613 mm wheelbase, although the spectrum, but the whole point to the front flexible accurate tracking of exception, in substantially the corners, first into the steering wheel into the corner, then drive the front included curved, the corners do not have to do more within the line of modification, which is to write an arc of fixed speed, and finally walked out of the corners up on the throttle. Driver if it is not extremely high speed into the corners, usually do not worry there Tuitou phenomenon.

However, a higher center of gravity of the body roll caused by the phenomenon than can not be avoided, with used tires for the Peugeot has long been a good cooperative relationship with the Michelin tires, four in 3008 to provide the energy-efficient Primacy HP 255/50R17 tires, sharp bends at high speed, you can slightly feel the sidewalls to support the move, but does not affect the wheels attached to the cornering. Operating under the overall driving experience, although with a 3008 cross-border SUV figure, but benefited from the Peugeot factory customary suspension tuning, road feel clear, strong support, even with so that the dynamics of 3008 are also lively up, but the 6-speed automatic transmission with a manual transmission, power transmission gear you can feel the conversion between the window and frustrated, this was to become energy-saving, power transmission and vehicle dynamics under the comfort of these points must be a compromise choice to sacrifice place.
3008 of up to 2,613 mm wheelbase, although the spectrum, but the whole point to the front flexible accurate tracking of exception, in substantially the corners, able to write an arc of fixed speed, the driver if it is not extreme speed into the corner, usually do not worry there Tuitou phenomenon.
Test group on a day trip to experience and test drive 3008, the first chamber design for the car and are satisfied with the details of texture, and fragmented space, can be successfully integrated into the glove position, in large bags for the entire family or daily commuting car, whether it is baggage, fragmented object or beverage cans, etc., there are appropriate placement, of course, a spacious three-car trunk and the trunk bulkhead, the display items can be beneficial to the organization , very convenient. Driving on the road speaking, Peugeot chassis tuning usual brand, provide a clear road to respond to, but not so die-hard too, body roll in corners due to the high center of gravity 3008, and became unavoidable. In the utilization of power and transmission, 1.6 liter diesel engine with 6-speed manual transmission since, with the obvious energy-saving approach, so wear and power consumption by the use of this tool to minimize clutch gearbox, then this must be compromise that is the shift between the sense of frustration. As the author under the title, Peugeot 3008 with its very practical but also romantic.
