Meet the needs of sports and home! High-quality mid-level car recommended by Cloud Auto Show!

Peugeot 508L, Volkswagen Magotan and Volvo Asia Pacific S60 appeared at the 2020 Chunyun Auto Show. It is easy for consumers to choose a difficult car, because within a limited budget, they can buy both low-priced models of luxury brands and high-priced models of non-luxury brands. Sometimes, there is some truth in the saying "I would rather buy the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix". The three cars we recommend today can be said to be the high-quality models among the medium-sized cars of the joint venture brand. Let's take a look at them with low-key, luxury and connotation. There is always one of these three models for you.

At present, the recognition of French cars in China market tends to be stable, but in this face-oriented society, it still has its own living space. Peugeot 508L continues the family-style design language, and its front face is fashionable and charming. The huge grid air intake grille has a strong visual impact, and with the embellishment of silver decorative strips, it is full of exquisiteness. The fangs-type headlights are personalized in shape, and the headlight group comes standard with LED light source. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights, automatic headlights, steering assist lights, adjustable headlight height and delayed headlight turn-off.

From the side, the body size of Peugeot 508L is 4870/ 1855/ 1455mm, and the wheelbase is 2848 mm From the latter, the tail of Peugeot 508L is fashionable, and the rich lines create a good sense of layering. "Lion Claw Taillight" is sharp in shape, atmospheric in design and great in lighting effect. The black decorative plate in the middle plays the role of transverse stretching visual effect, which makes the rear of the car more tense. The exhaust adopts the design of bilateral double outlet, which looks young, fashionable and sporty.

The interior of Peugeot 508L is mainly black with silver chrome trim, which enhances the fashion sense of the interior. The center console has rich lines and obvious layering, and the top is wrapped in soft material, which feels acceptable. Peugeot 508L flat-bottomed dual-spoke multi-function steering wheel is made of leather. The flat-bottomed shape has a certain sporty atmosphere and a good grip. The multi-function keys have reasonable layout and are very convenient to use. The instrument panel is designed with 12.3-inch full LCD screen, which can display rich information. The car is equipped with an 8-inch touch LCD screen, which supports Bluetooth/car phone, CarPlay, CarLife, factory interconnection/mapping and voice recognition control system.

In terms of safety configuration, the car is equipped with main/co-driver airbags, front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, passive pedestrian protection, tire pressure alarm, active braking/active safety system, front/rear parking radar and so on. In terms of comfort and high-tech configuration, the car is equipped with reversing image, constant speed cruise, engine start-stop technology, uphill assist, panoramic sunroof, keyless start system, one-button lifting of the whole car window, anti-ultraviolet glass, rain sensor wiper, automatic air conditioning and temperature zone control.

In terms of seats, the car seat is wrapped in imitation leather, which has a certain sense of grade and good comfort under the embellishment of stitching. The rear space of Peugeot 508L is general, and it has no special advantage compared with the same level. Because there is no central headrest and there are small protrusions on the floor, it is only suitable for middle passengers to ride for a short distance. The rear of the car is equipped with a central armrest, a cup holder and an air outlet. The car is also equipped with 4-way height adjustment of the main driver's seat, electric adjustment of the main driver's seat and 2-way height adjustment of the co-pilot seat.

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 2 1 1 horsepower and a peak torque of 300N.m, matching an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. What impressed me the most was the driving quality of the chassis, which was praised by almost everyone who had experienced it. The overall feeling of the chassis is excellent, exquisite and advanced. For small bumps, you can basically walk on the ground, and there is a temperament of "moistening things quietly". Accurate directivity will also make people feel that its medium-sized body, flexible body and suitable steering sense make it quite easy to walk in traffic. Not only that, the smaller steering ratio at low speed also makes the vehicle look less embarrassed when turning around.

Magotan still adopts Volkswagen's family-style design, and the sales volume also proves that the current models meet the aesthetic requirements of the audience. The lower body design further reduces the visual center of gravity, and the medium-sized commercial vehicle with mature and steady tone is vaguely more dynamic. Magotan adopts the currently popular penetrating design, and the four-piece chrome-plated middle net is connected with the headlights on both sides, creating a flatter and wider effect.

There are not many fancy designs on the side of the car body. The waistline extends from the front fender through the front and rear door handles to the taillights, and there are penetrating chrome trim strips below to make the car look more slender. Let Magotan exude a full and meticulous commercial vehicle temperament, with a slender body and no excessive lines at the rear, which is clean and tidy without losing a sense of hierarchy. With the lower body design, the visual center of gravity is further reduced, and the medium-sized commercial vehicle with mature and steady tone is more dynamic.

Through air conditioning air outlet, equipped with mechanical clock in the middle, bright black piano paint decorative board and aluminum plate are also elegant, and the interior is full of simple business style. The three-spoke flat-bottomed steering wheel is wrapped in leather, and the size is moderate. The multi-function buttons on both sides are also very easy to use, but the steering wheel feels a little hard. The central control area is equipped with an 8-inch touch LCD screen. Electronic parking and automatic parking are also standard in the whole system, especially the latter can really reduce the driver's fatigue under stop-and-go road conditions.

Magotan adopts leather seats with moderate soft and hard fillers, thick seats and good overall comfort. The front seat is wrapped in two-color perforated leather, which is moderately filled, thick and comfortable. It is also equipped with ventilation and heating. An experiencer with a height of 170cm enters the front row of Magotan, and after the seat is adjusted to the lowest and appropriate sitting position, the head space is left with one punch and three fingers. The same experiencer enters the back row and keeps the position of the front seat unchanged, and the head space obtained is one punch, while the leg space is considerable, with a margin of more than three punches. Under normal circumstances, the luggage compartment has a volume of 533L, and the rear seats can be laid down at a ratio of 4/6. Although it can't be completely flat, the interior is still regular and the storage space has been greatly expanded.

In terms of power, this model uses a 2.0T/ 186 HP turbocharged engine, which is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The engine with a maximum torque of 320N.m creates a soft feeling in power output, and the throttle response is also moderate, not too heavy or too slow. In the standard mode, as long as you need to speed up overtaking, it will never slacken off. When switching to economy mode, the sensitivity of throttle is still obviously reduced. Considering the fuel economy, the gearbox will keep the engine running at a low speed as much as possible, and it is estimated that impatient friends will be very unaccustomed. Magotan has a lot of goodwill in the adjustment of chassis suspension. The shorter compression stroke of suspension makes the chassis response more compact and sensitive, and can better restrain the roll of the vehicle. A little sense of road can still be conveyed to the driver through the steering wheel.

Volvo Asia-Pacific S60 adopts a family-style design with a simple front face. The iconic straight waterfall net is very eye-catching, and with the decoration of chrome trim, the visual effect is good. "Raytheon's Hammer" headlights are highly recognizable, and far and near lights come standard with LED light sources. The car is equipped with LED daytime running lights and automatic headlights. The height of the headlights is adjustable and the headlights are turned off in a delayed manner.

Viewed from the side, the body size of Volvo Asia Pacific S60 is 47611850/1437mm, and the wheelbase is 2872mm. In terms of tail design, the tail design of Volvo Asia Pacific S60 is relatively square, and the trunk lid has a slightly upturned "duckling tail" design to match the exhaust on both sides below. C-type taillights are avant-garde in shape and have good recognition when lit at night. Compared with Volkswagen Magotan and Peugeot 508L, it has advantages.

The interior of Volvo Asia Pacific S60 with black as the main color is very simple, and the details are decorated with silver strips, so that the interior will not be too monotonous. The center console is wrapped in soft material, and the overall touch is good. Under the background of white stitching, the sense of grade is also in place. Volvo Asia-Pacific S60 three-spoke multi-function steering wheel is made of leather, with comfortable grip and convenient use of multi-function buttons. It is also equipped with a 4-way manual adjustment of the steering wheel. The dashboard is equipped with an 8-inch LCD screen, which can display a wealth of information. The car is equipped with a 9-inch embedded touch LCD screen, which supports road rescue call, Bluetooth/car phone, CarPlay, voice recognition control system and car networking.

In terms of safety configuration, the car is equipped with main/co-driver airbags, front side airbags, front/rear head airbags, tire pressure alarm, lane departure warning system, lane keeping auxiliary system, active braking/active safety system, road traffic sign recognition and front/rear parking radar. In terms of comfort and high-tech configuration, the car is equipped with reversing image, constant-speed cruise, engine start-stop technology, uphill assistance, automatic parking, openable panoramic sunroof, keyless start system, one-button lifting of the whole car window, rain sensor wiper, automatic air conditioning and temperature zone control.

In terms of seats, the car seat is wrapped in imitation leather, and the seat comfort is acceptable. Although there is no extended wheelbase, the overall rear space performance of Volvo Asia Pacific S60 is not bad, and the leg and head space can reach the mainstream level. Although equipped with the rear center headrest, the rear middle floor has a large bulge, and the leg space of the middle passenger is still a little cramped under full load. In addition, the rear row is equipped with a central armrest, a cup holder and an air outlet. The car is equipped with 4-way height adjustment, 4-way lumbar support adjustment, electric adjustment and seat memory.

In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 190 HP and a peak torque of 300N.m It is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission, with excellent power performance, soft and smooth power in the initial stage, easy driving in daily life, good low-speed power response, obvious acceleration and abundant power reserve when driving at high speed. The chassis has excellent texture, and the slight bumps on the road surface are thoroughly filtered. When you drive through the joints of the road, you can only hear two loud noises, and you don't feel any vibration in the car.

Editor's comment: For Peugeot, many consumers still have a good impression on it. Peugeot 508L's exterior interior design is excellent, and its chassis adjustment, dynamic response and shift smoothness are all better. If you haven't made up your mind, you might as well take a test drive. If you don't have too high requirements for configuration, buying a car is mainly for business reasons, and you may change cars again in 2-3 years, then Magotan, a business-preserved model, is your best choice, and its comprehensive products are full of strength. The overall performance of Volvo Asia Pacific S60 is relatively balanced, its appearance is fashionable but not grandiose, and its configuration power is not prominent, but it is more practical. Especially in recent years, Chinese people attach great importance to automobile safety, which makes Volvo, which always takes safety as its selling point, usher in a wave of sales growth. However, the high price of spare parts makes Volvo Asia-Pacific S60 relatively mediocre in the later maintenance economy, which is worth noting.
