Embonini yezimoto yesimanje kuya kuba nzima ukuthatha izinyathelo ezinqala. Izinga lobuchwepheshe selivele liphakeme kangangokuthi kunzima ukuhlukanisa isizukulwane somkhiqizo kuya kwesinye.
Ngakho-ke, amabhrendi kwesinye isikhathi abheka ingxenye yobuhle njengesinqamuleli sokumaka lokhu kuguquka. Ingabe kunjalo nge-Peugeot 508 entsha? Ihlukile ngaphandle, kodwa ngengqikithi yayo iyafana njalo? Hhayi ngamathunzi.
I-Peugeot 508 entsha ngempela… entsha!
Naphezu kokuzibophezela okuqinile kohlobo lwaseFrance ekwakhiweni kwePeugeot 508 entsha, isitayela asiyona neze into esemqoka kakhulu yemodeli yesiFulentshi. Amanoveli wangempela afihliwe ngaphansi kwemigqa ye-bodywork efana ne-coupe.
Ngokukhula kwentshisekelo kuma-SUV, amasaluni kwadingeka azisungule kabusha. Nikeza isikhalazo esiphezulu. Ngemuva kweVolkswagen Arteon, i-Opel Insignia, phakathi kwabanye, kube yithuba lePeugeot 508 ukuthi igqugquzelwe imigqa yezemidlalo ye-coupe.
Phansi kwe-Peugeot 508 entsha ifihla inkundla ye-EMP2 - efanayo etholakala ku-308, 3008 kanye no-5008. Le nkundla ishintshiwe ukuze ihlangabezane nezimfanelo ezidingekayo zemodeli ehlose ukuba "ingxenye ye-saloon ehamba phambili", ngokusho kulabo ababhekele iPeugeot. Futhi ngalokho, kwaPeugeot abazange bayigodle imizamo. Ngokokuqala ngqa emlandweni wale modeli sithola ukumiswa okuguquguqukayo (okujwayelekile ezinguqulweni ezinamandla kakhulu). Kodwa akugcini lapho. Kuzo zonke izinhlobo ze-Peugeot 508 entsha, i-axle yangemuva isebenzisa isikimu sikanxantathu abagqagqene ukuze kuzuzwe ukuvumelana okungcono phakathi kokusebenza kahle nokunethezeka.
Mayelana nezinto zokwakha, iplathifomu ye-EMP2 isebenzisa izinsimbi eziqine kakhulu futhi sithola i-aluminiyamu kuhood nasemasengweni.
Lokhu kubheja kokuzinikela kwisisekelo esiphuma phambili se-Peugeot 508 sekuthele izithelo. Ngayishayela emigwaqweni yasezintabeni, phakathi kwedolobha laseNice (eFrance) neMonte Carlo (Monaco), futhi ngamangala ngekhono lokuqeda izinto ezingahambi kahle ku-asphalt, nangendlela yokuzibophezela lapho i-axle yangaphambili "iluma" itiyela , egcina iPeugeot 508 entsha ncamashi lapho besihlele khona.
Mayelana nekhono eliguqukayo, uma kuqhathaniswa nesizukulwane sangaphambilini, kukhona izwe lebanga phakathi kwamamodeli amabili. Ngiyaphinda ngiyaphinda, izwe elikude.
Muhle ngaphandle...muhle ngaphakathi
Ingxenye yobuhle ihlale iyipharamitha eqondile. Kodwa ngombono wami, ngisho ngaphandle kokuzithoba ukuthi imigqa ye-Peugeot 508 entsha iyangijabulisa kakhulu. Umuzwa ohlale ebhodini.
Ukukhethwa ngokucophelela kwezinto ezisetshenziswayo akubangelwa ukuncintisana okuhle kakhulu kwamaJalimane - lapho kuphela amapulasitiki aqinile aphezu kokungqubuzana kwe-instrumentation - futhi umhlangano nawo usohlelweni oluhle. Kokunye, ukukhathazeka ngekhwalithi sekudlulele kwaze kwaba yilapho iPeugeot iqashe abahlinzeki bezicabha abafanayo (enye yezinto ezivame kakhulu umsindo we-aerodynamic kanye nomsindo wezinambuzane) ezihlinzeka ngemikhiqizo efana ne-BMW ne-Mercedes-Benz.
Inhloso yakwaPeugeot wukuba ireferensi phakathi kwazo zonke izinhlobo zama-generalist.
Mayelana nokubukeka kwendawo yangaphakathi, ngiyavuma ukuthi ngingumlandeli wefilosofi yakwaPeugeot i-Cockpit ehumusheka ngesiteringi esincane, izinsimbi ezisezingeni eliphezulu kanye ne-central panel ene-infotainment system ethinta isikrini.
Kukhona abakuthandayo futhi kukhona abangacabangi ukuthi kuyahlekisa kakhulu… Ngiyayithanda indlela ebukeka ngayo, noma ngoba ngokombono ongokoqobo akukho nzuzo (noma ukulahlekelwa…), nakuba labo ababhekele iPeugeot bayivikela okuphambene ngesikhathi sokwethula.
Izinjini zakho konke okuthandayo
I-Peugeot 508 entsha ifika e-Portugal ngoNovemba futhi uhla lukazwelonke luhlanganisa izinjini ezinhlanu - ezimbili zikaphethiloli kanye nezintathu zeDizili -; kanye namagiya amabili - amagiya ayisithupha ashintshwayo kanye namagiya ayisishiyagalombili azishintshayo (EAT8).
Ebangeni lezinjini ukuze Uphethiloli sine-inline four-cylinder Turbo 1.6 PureTech, ezinguqulweni ezimbili ezino-180 no-225 hp, etholakala kuphela ngebhokisi le-EAT8. Ebangeni lezinjini ukuze udizili , sine-4-cylinder entsha engu-1.5 BlueHDI enamandla angu-130 hp, okuwukuphela kwayo ezothola u-gearbox oshintshwayo, ozotholakala ne-EAT8 automatic transmission; futhi ekugcineni i-2.0 BlueHDI emgqeni wamasilinda amane, ezinguqulweni ezimbili ezingu-160 no-180 hp, itholakala kuphela nge-EAT8 automatic transmission.
Ngekota yokuqala ka-2019, a inguqulo ye-plug-in eyi-hybrid , nge-50 km ye-100% ukuzimela kukagesi.
Ngeshwa, ngithole ithuba lokuhlola inguqulo enamandla kakhulu yenjini engu-2.0 BlueHDI. Ngeshwa kungani? Ngoba ngiqinisekile ukuthi inguqulo enesidingo esikhulu kakhulu izoba ngu-1.5 BlueHDI 130 hp, kokubili ngamakhasimende azimele kanye nezinkampani nabaphathi bemikhumbi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kulo mkhakha, i-Peugeot isebenze kanzima ukunciphisa ngangokunokwenzeka i-TCO (izindleko eziphelele zobunikazi, noma ngesiPutukezi "izindleko eziphelele zokusetshenziswa"), okungenye yemethrikhi esetshenziswa kakhulu amakhasimende ezinkampani.
Kodwa ngokuhlangenwe nakho kwami ngemuva kwesondo le-Peugeot 508 2.0 BlueHDI entsha, ukusabela okuhle kwe-EAT8 okuzenzakalelayo kanye nokuvikela umsindo okuhle kwangaphakathi kwagqama. Injini uqobo lwayo yiyona nto obungayilindela enjinini yesimanje engu-2.0 l kadizili. Ihlakaniphile futhi ikhululekile kakhulu emibusweni ephansi, ngaphandle kokujabulisa ncamashi.
Singalinda kuphela uNovemba, ukuze sihlole i-Peugeot 508 entsha kuzo zonke izinhlobo zayo emhlabeni kazwelonke. Umbono wokuqala wawumuhle kakhulu futhi ngempela, i-Peugeot ku-508 entsha inomkhiqizo okwazi ukubuka "iso ngeso" kumasaluni aseJalimane ngaphandle kwanoma iyiphi inkimbinkimbi, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi yikuphi iphuzu elingaphansi kokuhlaziywa. Vumela imidlalo iqale!
