Recently, industry information revealed that Dongfeng’s power system configuration is identical to that of PSA’s models on the same platform, which also means that in addition to appearance and configuration, the 508 will be very different from the overseas version of the power system.

The domestic Peugeot 508, which was originally revealed to be on the market, finally broke its promise. According to the news revealed by General Manager Zimmerman, the final domestic production time of the domestic Dongfeng Peugeot 508 has been determined in July 2011. Then we speculate that the first public appearance may be at the Shanghai International Auto Show in late April.
However, there was no need to wait until a group of new domestic model test car spy photos were exposed. In addition to the front and rear Lion logo and Dongfeng Peugeot and the model information being covered by tape, the domestic model has been completely exposed to us. At the same time, the new information also made it clear that the power system configuration of Dongfeng Peugeot 508 will be exactly the same as the power configuration of the C5 model on the same platform under PSA, which also means that in addition to the appearance and configuration, the power system will be very different from the overseas version of the model.
From the perspective of the power system configuration of the overseas version, the different and transmission combinations include three gasoline models and five diesel models. The Peugeot 508 is equipped with a 1.6L engine jointly developed with PSA (Peugeot Group), of which, depending on the adjustment, the entry-level version of 1.6VTi is 120PS (88kW)/6000rpm, 160N · m/4250rpm; while the high-end version of 1.6THP can output up to 156PS (115kW)/6000rpm, up to 240N · m/1400rpm.
In addition, there will be a diesel version, which will offer up to 3 diesel options and add HDi technology. Among them, the 508 1.6 e-HDi 112 version has a theoretical fuel consumption of only 4.2L per 100 kilometers, and CO2 emissions are only 114g/km (eventually reduced to 109g/km).

The diesel version is naturally not suitable for the Chinese market, but the two 1.6L gasoline version models are still out of China, especially the 1.6T engine that has appeared in the imported 308CC and the newly launched 3008 new car, which is also temporarily out of the domestic model. However, there is no plan to introduce engines.
But on the other hand, Wei Wenqing, the general manager of Dongfeng, revealed in an interview with the media: "In 2012, all Dongfeng models will be equipped with a 1.6T engine and a 6-speed manual, and the 4-speed transmission will also be completely discontinued." So this may mean that in 2012, Dongfeng Peugeot’s corresponding models will also use a 1.6T turbocharged engine.
The domestic Peugeot 508 model, which will be launched in the middle of this year, will be equipped with 2.0L and 2.3L four-cylinder gasoline engines, as well as a 3.0L V6 engine. Previous environmental catalogs have shown that Dongfeng Peugeot’s DC7202DTAM, DC7202DTAA and DC7232DTAA three power configurations are the five-speed manual 2.0L model, the 6-speed automatic 2.0L model, and the 2.3L 6-speed automatic model.
It is basically the same as the current Dongfeng configuration, but Dongfeng Peugeot’s 2.0L automatic transmission model has been upgraded from a 4-speed manual to a 6-speed manual. In addition, the latest exposure of the test car spy photos shows that in addition to the single-sided single-exhaust pipe model, the domestic Peugeot 508 model with double exhaust pipes has also been exposed, which should be the highest power configuration version equipped with the V6 engine.
In addition, in terms of suspension configuration, the domestic model should use the improved front and multi-link independent rear suspension. The front suspension of the overseas version of the "GT" model adopts a proprietary design, reflecting the demand for higher handling performance. Unlike the genuine 308 models in the past, Dongfeng Peugeot only launched the 206-facelifted Dongfeng Peugeot 207 model and the 308 extended sedan version of Dongfeng. The upcoming domestic 508 model can be said to be quite fast in terms of introduction speed.
The adjustment of the power system of the 508 model after the domestic production cannot be completely said to be a shrinkage. After all, the main diesel models in the European market are not suitable for the Chinese market. As for whether the configuration will be adjusted compared with overseas models, it remains to be further revealed in April. (Text/Tencent Auto)
