Russian market Peugeot deservedly. The history of the development of the company Peugeot. Automotive exhibitions in Russia

The story of the famous car brand Peugeot originates in the already very distant 18th century. Back in 1840, the efforts of the Peugeot family, the production of coffee grinders and pepper and salt crushers were launched. The first experience in the manufacture of vehicles was the creation of Arman Peugeot in 1882 the bike "Le Grand Bi".

Arman Peugeot seriously became interested in the ease of vehicles and under his leadership in 1889, Leon Sherpolla built the first three-wheeled car of the company that had a steam engine. In 1891, thanks to cooperation with Gdimler, the first Peugeot car with a gasoline engine appeared. In the future, since 1896, Peugeot cars are equipped with their own engines (the first peugeot engine was constructed Rigulo and had a power of 8 hp) and no longer depends on the supply of daimler aggregates.

Actually, the automotive company was founded by Arman Peugeot in 1896 and was called Société Anonyme Des Automobiles Peugeot. At the same time, a new factory was built, located in Audincourt, fully engaged in the release of cars.

Trademark cars Peugeot are produced under the logo with the image of a lion, which was patented on November 20, 1858 by Emil Peugeot. From this day, all the products of Peugeot are produced under the sign of a lion, which has undergone only minor changes over time.

The main stages of the development of PEUGEOT

Starting with the production of bicycles (1882), the company Peugeot successfully deals with the production of motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and, of course, cars.

In the late 19th and 20th century, Peugeot is actively engaged in the development and construction of cars under the leadership of the designer Ettore Bugatti. Note that by 1903 the company already produced half of cars produced in France. The needs of France during the First World War forced Peugeot to produce mainly military products of a wide range, up to tanks and shells.

In the period between world wars, Peugeot continued to engage in the release of various cars. Due to its high demand for its products in 1923, the level of production of Peugeot cars exceeded the mark of 10 thousand units.

Since 1931, companies from the company began to be equipped with an independent front suspension, which other automakers have also begun. In 1935, a 402 model was represented at the Paris Motor Show, which later became the very famous and the beginning of the whole series of "Sochaux Streamline". At the convertibles of this model, an electric lift system was first applied.

During World War II, Peugeot factories were subjected to serious bombing and destruction, as a result of which the full-fledged production of cars managed to establish only in 1949. Quickly restoring the production potential, the company already in 1952 was able to release his millionth car.

Since 1974, Peugeot started buying Citroën shares, which led to the creation of a joint company Peugeot Société Anonyme (PSA), which uses joint engineering technical resources, but both brands are preserved. In the 70s, Peugeot also briefly controlled the sports brand Maserati. In 1978, Peugeot acquired the European Unit Chrysler and produced CHRYSLER - SIMCA cars under the Talbot sign until 1986.

Currently, the PSA Peugeot-Citroen Group is the largest private enterprise in France and occupies an honorable second place (after Volkswagen) for the production of cars in Europe. In 2012, the Peugeot brand produced more than 1.6 million cars, and the volume of production of the entire concern exceeded 3 million units.

The history of the brand Peugeot knows many extraordinary and very interesting facts. At the dawn of the automotive industry, the company was on the edge of scientifically technical progress. So already in 1892, the world's first serial rubber tires were installed on the world of PepEot Type 4. And what is just worth an amazing car with a body of pure cast silver, made in 1892 by order of Algerian Beea.

In 1905, a machine gun was installed on the Peugeot chassis, which marked the appearance of a new class - combat vehicles.

In 1941, designers create a Peugeot VLV - an urban light vehicle, which is essentially a three-wheeled electrocycle.

The company gave the world a lot of interesting and beautiful cars that even could do a good career on the movie screen. Extravagant Peugeot Inspector Colombo, played by Peter Falka in a very popular series of the same name. And the real movie star became Peugeot 406 from the movies of the sensational series of the "Taxi" of the famous producer Luke Cherton.

Peugeot cars were very popular with famous and famous faces. So the French president of Jacques Chirac preferred a solid Peugeot 607. In Russia, "Pyzhiki" were prescribed in garages in Alena Apina (model 406), Anton Makarsky (model 206) and other representatives of Bohemia.

Thanks to advanced engineering solutions and high quality, cars Peugeot received a prize of the best European car - in 1969 - Peugeot 504, in 1988 - Peugeot 405, and in 2002 - Peugeot 307. And four models included in the top three of the best European competition: 1980, PEUGEOT 505, 1984 - Peugeot 205, 1996 - Peugeot 406, 1999 - Peugeot 206.

To preserve and popularize its history, the SPA concern opened his own car museum in the London quarter of the Soho, it presents more than 150 models of cars, as well as many types of other transport equipment released for more than two century-old brand history.

Brand Peugeot and Sport

Peugeot has always loved to make high-speed cars. So the car Peugeot participated in the world in the world of automotive racing - Paris run - Rouen on June 22, 1894 and took second place, skipping forward only more perfect at that time a steam train De Dion-Bouton. In 1912, Peugeot managed by George Baillota won the Grand Prix at France in Diepie.

Key models peugeot brand

Peugeot designers have created many models left a bright mark in the history of the automotive industry. Already in the early last century, "People's" Peugeot Bebe was greatly popular. In 1913, the light saw Peugeot Goux - the fastest car that developed an unprecedented speed for its time in 187 km / h.

In the 30s 40s of the last century, the automotive models were set to model 402 and 302 having an elegant design and reliable classic design.

In 1957, Peugeot 404 appeared to the light, which was able to conquer the fame of the "eternal" car. The revolutionary design of 404 models was created by the PinInfarina Atelier, a diesel engine was applied to this car for the first time in the history of the French brand. The car in various modifications lasted on the conveyor until 1975, and more than 1.4 million copies were released.

A small Peugeot 205, the beginning of the production, which was made in 1983, truly became the legend of modern automotive and managed to conquer nationwide love.

Peugeot 106 set the tone in the class of compact cars since 1991.

Peugeot Partner became very successful in 1996, in just 33 months from the beginning of production, more than 1 million cars were released.

The 1998 Peugeot 206 became the leader in the pace of sales for all the long-term Peugeot history. A total of more than 5 million of these cars were made.

In 2001, Peugeot 307 appeared, which official experts recognized the best car in the world for 2002.

Peugeot in Russia

In Russia, the Peugeot brand is particularly popular, and the affectionate folk name "Fawn" testifies to universal love for it. Arriving in our country almost a hundred and a half hundred years ago, Peugeot conquers all new positions. Fighting for leadership since 2003, the company presents models specially designed for our roads. In the same year, a Russian branch was officially created. PSA cars are among the ten best-selling machines in Russia, and specifically the peugeot brand has managed to achieve 15% of sales growth in 2012.

Surely the true fans of the brand Peugeot remember and know that in 2010 in Beijing, the French-Chinese brand "Dongfeng Peugeot - Citroen" showed the world of Peugeot 408 sedan. The car was built on the predecessor platform - "Peugeot 308" and was originally intended for sales in Chinese and South American market. Compared to the Hatchback, the car has not changed significantly. The sedan wheel base increased to 2717 millimeters, respectively, the length of the machine also became more - 4337 mm. No Russian motorist is interested in where Peugeot 408 is collected for sales in the domestic market. At first, this car model released a plant located in Argentina and a large Chinese enterprise in Wuhan.

But, due to the huge demand of the car in the Russian Federation, the leadership of the concern decided to open the plant "PSMA" under Kaluga. It is here, since 2012, they began to produce this car model. The domestic enterprise tries to produce a sedan, as suitable for operation on Russian roads. Russian Peugeot 408 is produced with the protection of the motor compartment and the full-size feet. The domestic assembly sedan is installed a more powerful battery and starter. In general, the PSMA plant produces a car for our customers, taking into account operating conditions. Interestingly, even on the basic configuration "Access" of Russian Peugeot 408 is set a full-fledged winter package, which includes heating the driver's and passenger front seating, as well as heating windshield and glasswater nozzles.

Features of the sedan

Cars with a democratic value and excellent technical characteristics appreciate not only in the CIS countries, but also in Russia. To satisfy all the wishes of Russian buyers, the French concern Peugeot-Citroen created a model - 408. Where to produce Peugeot 408 is known, now let's talk more about the possibilities of this car. This car model will not call a little, it can be calmly attributed to the D-class. Due to the increase in the dimensions of the machine, inside the sedan it became much more comfortable and spacious. Peugeot 408 dimensions are 4337 mm × 4703 mm × 1505 mm. This car model was very loved by our compatriots, the owners of the car engine are especially relevant.

A 150-strong turbocharged engine, 1.6 liters, is installed on the Peugeot 408 sedan. The car's suspension is also excellent. Despite the quality of Russian roads, this agile sedan on the "hoo" copes with all obstacles and ughabs. In addition to the engine with a power of 150 horsepower, Russian buyers can purchase a sedan with a gasoline 1.6-liter unit that issues 110 horses of power, or a motor with the same volume, but with a power of 120 hp. Turbodiesel for a hundred kilometers of the path spends five liters of fuel, gasoline installations are a little more - 8.2 liters. The car is offered, both with a 5-speed "mechanics" and automatic transmission. The volume of the luggage separation of the car is 560 liters.

But, folding the rear armchairs, you will be able to increase it. In the luggage compartment there is its own "highlight". Where the Peugeot 408 is released, the plastic plug of the front bumper lattice is placed there. This detail manufacturer recommends the use of owners in the winter. It will protect the engine compartment from snow, sand, dirt. And also contributes to a more rapid engine warming. So, how the body has galvanized processing, the manufacturer gives a 12-year-old warranty from corrosion.

Advantages and Disadvantages Peugeot 408

Regarding the quality of materials and assembly, there are interesting information. As it turned out, to assemble Peugeot 408 at the enterprise "PSMA", the seats of the American company "Lear", plastic and materials for the plating from the French company Faurecia are used, and the bumper for the sedan produces a domestic enterprise "Magna". This car model, like any other, has its pros and cons. First of good. Peugeot 408 has the largest dimensions in their segment. Also, advocacy should be attributed:

• big ground clearance
• spacious trunk
• rear wide and comfortable passenger armchair
• high-level noise insulation
• wide motor gamma
• the ability to take a car loan on favorable terms
• low cost of sedan
• perfectly adapted for operation in the Russian Federation.

Where they collect Peugeot 408, and some errors were allowed:

• long enough time required to warm out the cabin
• the luggage compartment is inconvenient
• poor work wipers
• you need to make an effort to close the door.
• narrow opening of the luggage compartment.

The sedan from the French manufacturer is a very affordable vehicle that is suitable even to the very ordinary buyer. The basic version of the sedan will cost 549,000 rubles. Auto with a diesel 1.6-liter unit (112 horses) costs more than 637,000 rubles. Peugeot 408 with a turbocharged 150-strong engine and automatic transmission is sold at a price of 746,000 rubles. For additional options and bearer, the buyer will need to pay extra in the area from ten thousand rubles to 23,000. If you want to purchase a budget car with a maximum set of options at a reasonable price, then this "French" is what is needed. Specifications and "filling" of this car model is much better than in competitors.

The beginning of the industrial activity of the Peugeot clan was laid by Jean-Pierre Peugeot, born in 1734 by expressing modern language, he worked in the field of light and food industry, and here two of his son, Jean-Pier-Jr. and Jean-Frederick, were more prone to Work in the heavy industry. In 1810, they were rebuilt into the steel mill, a grain mill, putting a grain mill, putting the beginning of the enterprise Peugeot Freres. At first, the nomenclature of the products was limited to "small forms": canvas for saws, time springs, mills for coffee, salt and pepper (these items and now can often be seen on the tables of European restaurants), rings for crinolines and hooks for corsets ... in November 1858 Emil Peugeot patented the image of a lion in the form of a trademark of the company, and to expand the product range allowed the innovative method of cold rolling metal invented by the brothers. In 1882, Arman Peugeot marked the start of the company in the field of auto industry, albeit indirectly, from the release of bicycles, and the success of the first sample was simply awesome: by 1897, more than 16,000 copies were released. Before the production of cars was already handed to hand, and in 1889, "from the stapels" enterprises Peugeot came up with the first car: the three-wheeled steam crew serpollet-peugeot, designed by Leon Sherpoll. In the first model, Arman understood the futility of the production of "Parovika", so the series was limited to four copies. The company's further development of the company was the cooperation of Arman Peugeot with Gottlib Daimler, a gasoline engine (with a volume of 563 cm3) of which was set to the first four-wheel car Peugeot, which saw the light in 1890 and received a simple title Type 2. The car could develop speed up to 20 km / h.

Peugeot Type 2 had a 2-cylinder gasoline engine 563 cm 3 and a power in one horsepower

All constructors of the car of that time perfectly understood that the best check of the reliability of the machines are runs. Therefore, when 1894, the French newspaper Le Petit Journal announced a road competition on the route Paris - Rouen - Paris, five Peugeot cars went to the start. These competitions could not be called races, since, according to the conditions of the organizers, cars were supposed to be "safe, easily managed and economical", and immediately before the start, the average speed rate, which participants were supposed to withstand were reduced from 17 to 12.5 km / h. Two French cars with gasoline engines were announced by the winners of this competition: Panhard & Levassor and Peugeot. And the next year already a real race on the route Paris - Bordeaux - Paris was held, and the first Panhard & Levassor was first on the finish, but because, according to the conditions of competitions, the crews were supposed to be quadruples (and the winner did not match this requirement), the first prize was Awarded peugeot. It is worth noting that 29 gasoline, 15 steam and 2 electric crews came to the start of this race, and the average winner speed was 24.42 km / h.

Peugeot Type 15 with Motor Design Louis Rigulo

In 1986-1987 Arman Peugeot found both financial (without any investment by relatives who did not part of the faith of Arman in the bright future of motorism), and technical (refusing Daimler's motors) independence. In single, he organized his own enterprise specializing in the production of cars, and at the same time on Societe Anonyme Des Automobiles Peugeot began the release of the engine of his own design, developed by Louis Rigulo. The first such motor with a capacity of 8 hp It was installed on the Type 15 version, which had an assteral layout, but then the Peugeot constructors moved to the classic arrangement with the front of the engine. And soon on Peugeot cars, an inclined steering column appeared, a rush steering and a classic "Branca". During this period, the annual sales of Arman Peugeot products accounted for about 300 copies - this is a quarter of all cars produced at the time in France, and more than 3,000 employees who produced two dozen different models were employed.

Ettore Bugatti himself took part in the development of Type 69

At the Paris Motor Show 1904, the company's sign model was presented - "Baby" Baby, a car with the Type 69 index, developed with the participation of the famous Ettore of Bugatti. The length of the car was only 270 cm, the weight is 350 kg, and the engine with a capacity of 6 hp It was capable of overclocking the car up to 40 km / h. Low price and a number of innovative solutions (Rush Steering, Kardanna, instead of chain, transmission, shock absorber ...) Made a "baby" an incredibly popular model. I barely enrolled on sale, the car not only broke up in 400 copies, but also subsequently updated. By the way, the updated Type 69 became the latest project launched in production in the life of Arman Peugeot, in 1913 (Arman died in 1915). This period was very important in the history of the company: that the automotive industry has become a very profitable business, there was no doubt about the Peugeot family. And therefore there was an union of the company Arman Peugeot with Les Fils de Peugeot Freres, the company of his cousin Eryen. In 1912, Peugeot sports programs resumed. Two years in a row, Peugeot cars first graduated from races at the large prize of the France's automotive club. The winner of the 1912 Racing of Georges Bouloto performed by car with a motor that had four valves on the cylinder and the upper arrangement of the camshaft - the concept characteristic of racing motors of a later period. And in 1913, when the France's car club returned to the rule of fuel consumption, the winner of the race, all the same Boalo, demonstrated the cost-effectiveness inherent in diesel engines of the 70s of the twentieth century. Then Peugeot stood an engine with a volume of 5655 cm3, a system of lubrication with a dry crankcase and with a cardan transmission. It is worth noting that the average speed of the winner at a distance of 916 km amounted to 116 km / h. No less successfully performed the racers Peugeot and Ocean: In 1913, Jules Gu on a car with a 7.4-liter engine won a 500-mile track on the track in American Indianapolis. PEUGEOT cars, already with 4.9-liter engines, were primarily on the same track in 1916 and 1919. Sports success brands in the period up to the 30s can be noted and victories in such races, like Targa Florio, Coppa Florio, 24 hours of Spa ...

Peugeot 402 with spectacularly rising metallic riding

During the First World War, Peugeot enterprises were reoriented to weapons, aviation engines and ammunition, and after the war, the company was taken to produce inexpensive economy cars. It helped Peugeot in the 30s to survive the years of the Great Depression. In 1929, Peugeot released the 201 201 model with an independent front suspension - the cheapest in the French market. She laid the beginning of the numbering of models having zero in the middle. One of the iconic, in terms of style, the models of the late 30s became 402 eclirse. Spectacular appearance, "muzzle" with headlights hidden under the radiator grille, folding top, rising with the help of an electric drive in just 15 seconds. During World War II, Peugeot was released a three-wheeled VLV model equipped with an electric motor and four batteries - the world's first serial electric vehicle. During the war, Peugeot plant in Sosho went under the patronage of Germany and was subjected to severe bombardments of allied aviation, and during the retreat of German troops the remaining part of the equipment was taken to Germany. Nevertheless, already in 1946, Peugeot resumed a massive release of cars, returning the model 202 to the conveyor (more than 14,000 copies were released), and in 1949 he saw the light of Peugeot 203, which was made up until 1960. Another The long-liver was model 403 designed in the PinInfarina Atelier, with a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine capacity of 65 hp, produced from 1955 to 1962, the sales volume of which amounted to a million copies. In fact, the 403th had to come to replace the 203rd, but the popularity of the latter was so great that for a long time both models were produced in parallel. It is worth noting and Peugeot 204 is the first front-wheel drive car in the company's range. In addition to the large selection of bodywork, this model was distinguished from the predecessors in the fact that among the proposed motors of the engines was diesel. A continuation of cooperation with PinInfarina was a model 404, the version of which in the body a convertible was not accidentally considered one of the most beautiful cars of that time issued by Peugeot. Another fruit of cooperation with the famous design studio has become a model 504 Coupe.

In 1974, an agreement was signed on the association of Peugeot and Citroen companies in the PSA group, and fortunately, some concerns about the fact that, due to the merger, Peugeot cars could lose their individuality, did not justify. The advantages of association were the possibility of joint developments and, as a result, the unification of individual details, but no one has canceled competition between the two companies. An example can serve, albeit a short, but active rivalry of two companies on the Ralline World Championships.

Immediately after the war, the 202nd model was returned to the PEUGEOT conveyor

In 1983, Peugeot produces model 205, and its version of 205 GTI with 1.6 and 1.9 liter motors became a real bestseller among hatchbacks around the world! Sports "assembled" suspension, clear and understandable steering, low weight and no auxiliary electronics. It is not surprising that this "rocket" had a lot of sports versions. And if we talk about sports, then for rally, according to the technical requirements of the group B, it was simply prepared by the legendary "two hundred fifth" - Peugeot 205 Turbo T16. On the account of this unique car, two world rally titles in 1985 and 1986, and Timo Salonen and Yuha Kankkinen in the same years have become world champions in the standings of pilots. When after a series of tragedies on the Rally's tracks, the group B was banned, the sports department of Peugeot switched to the raid, building prototypes on the bases of models 205 and 405. The performances were very successful: from 1987 to 1990. They were not equal on the famous Marathon Paris - Dakar. Three times this race won Ari Vathann and once Yuha Kankkinen. After in 1994, the release of "two hundred fifth" was discontinued, the corresponding niche in the range of PEUGEOT models was emptied until 1998, when peugeot 206 was presented at the Paris salon. And this model even exceeded the predecessor. Of course, in Peugeot and this time did not forget about the marketing component of the sport this time: a year after the presentation of the "civilian" model, the French "Warld Rally Car" Peugeot 206 WRC was released on the highway championship. And the next year Peugeot became the most successful team of the World Championship: Her pilot Marcus Gronholm won the world title in the standings of pilots. The victory in the standings of the manufacturers of the world championship in the Peugeot rally won in 2001, and the next year he made a double, repeating the success of 2000: victory in the championship's personal competition again won Gronholm. I walked well with other models. In 1995, another of the most popular models in the line of cars of the French company - Peugeot 406 was released, the fruit of cooperation with Citroen (Four hundred and sixth "was built on the Xantia model platform), and with the PinInfarina design.

The Peugeot 203 model was so successful that it was released until 1960

An important fact of commercial attractiveness of the 406th was that in the numerous line of engines there were efficient diesel engines. This was the moment when many companies, especially European, due to environmental problems and for reasons, they tried to give alternative fuel. Four years later, the car was subjected to a significant modification, and its release continued until 2004. Sports programs related to the 406th: Cars prepared for ring races performed well in many European national championships. After the completion of the release of Four hundred and sixth, it was replaced by the company's 307th model in sports programs, but with its access to a serious global sports level, the company's marketers are clearly mistaken. At the Stages of the World Championship, Peugeot 307 WRC rally was able to win only three victories: in 2004 in Finland and in 2005 in Finland and Japan. After that, in the PSA concern, it was decided that the Citroen brand remains in World Rally Championship. But in the annular race for endurance, the Peugeot sportsprototypes were kept and multiplied by the traditions of victories of the late 19th century. In 1990, a model 905 was published at the World Trop of War in the world championship, which was already in 1991 and 1992. Victory in 8 of the 14 stages won and in 1992 won both in the team competition and in the standings of pilots. In the same year, as the next year, "nine hundred fifth" wins in 24-hour races in Le Mans. "Le Mans" conquered Peugeot sportsprotypes, equipped with diesel engines: in the 2009 Peugeot 908 HDI FAP finished in the first and second positions.

Peugeot 307 WRC was not so successful on the world championship tracks, as his "two hundred sixth" fellow

Peugeot 905.

In the foreground - Peugeot 908 HDI FAP

Rumors about the appearance of a Peugeot 308 sedan went for a long time, because in China, the model "408" is successfully sold - the same "three hundred eighth sedan", only with a stretched 10 cm base and original appearance. And spreading success to other export markets is a completely natural desire, especially since the Russians love sedans no less than the Chinese.

European Gamma Peugeot almost twice the wider Russian. And there are also export markets in different parts of the planet, where unprecedented or long-forgotten modifications of cars are sold ...

The legendary and superpopular all over the world, the smallness continued its life in a changed look. Having received the appearance and interior in the style of Peugeot 207, the compact urban hatchback remained the faith of the 1998 sample design and is still sold in a three-and-five-door body even in Western countries. The choice is offered two gasoline engines 1.1 (60 hp) and 1.4 (75 hp) and one diesel 1.4 (70 hp), everything is only with a manual gearbox. Basic price in France: about 483 000 rubles.

In our country, Hatchback Peugeot 206 was also popular thanks to a low price, reliability, good driving characteristics and inexpensive maintenance. But the reliability of the 206th sedan of the Iranian assembly, which appeared in Russia in 2007, unfortunately, severely chrome. I failed to agree with Iranian manufacturers about improving quality, the leadership of Peugeot ceased the supply of this model, including the Russian market.

In Russia, the appearance of Peugeot 206+ did not take place on one single reason - the price of this car would not give up more modern Peugeot 207.

Compact, but very stylish versatile on the basis of the 207th model in Russia was waiting. After all, 206 SW we have sold, although in very limited quantities. A stretched base, an enlarged trunk and a greater supply of space over the head of the rear passengers made from a compact urban hatchback, a practical and yurt car. A well-tuned chassis could give enough pleasure from 207 SW management with any of the five engines offered. In Europe, there is even a pseudo-road version called Outdoor, characterized by increased road lumen and plastic body kit along the body circuit.

But the miracle did not happen to the same financial considerations. The basic cost in the region of 590,000 rubles in Russia would be invaded to the "price area" Peugeot 308.

Compact "heel", standing on one class step below Peugeot Partner Tepee. Moreover, the design of the car is descended, rather, in the PEUGEOT Boxer style, which emphasizes, exposed forward, front bumper and vertical door handles.

But in practicality, the compact "heel" can be equal to the older "partner", yielding to him only in volumes. The cabin of the car is emphasized, but is comfortable and completely comfortable. Under the hood, the old good gasoline "eight point" 1.4 (75 hp) or the same power of a 1.3 liter turbo diesel engine. The gearbox is only mechanical. Basic price in France: about 545,000 rubles.

In Russia, this machine could well be sold, only in the case of a retirement released since 1997, the classic Peugeot Partner, which is now going to Turkey and is sold in Russia as partner Origin.

The mid-sized passenger minibus, which is between Peugeot 807 and the PEUGEOT Boxer passenger version. Although the car and has roots of commercial vehicles, the expert is still significantly more comfortable than Peugeot Boxer. In Russia, he would have made a good competition to such cars as Volkswagen Multivan, Hyundai H-1 and Toyota Hiace. The European EXPERT TEPEE market exists in a short and elongated body and equipped with only diesel engines 90, 120 and 163 horsepower. The price of the basic version in France: about 1,185,000 rubles.

Given the high cost and the low demand for a similar class of cars, the French did not take risks and excluded the Peugeot expert from the lists of the Russian model range.

China is the main export market for Peugeot cars. And in the Asian model range you can meet very curious machines of this brand.

Peugeot 307 who has familiar to the Russian residents of Peugeot 307 who has lost the place of the next generation model, continues to live and health. Having gained kitty from an unpainted plastic and roof rails, the French golf class hatchback began to resemble a small crossover, like Suzuki SX4.

True, stuffing 307 Cross, compared with the source, not changed: 110-strong gasoline engine 1.6 only the front wheels are activated.

This is a miracle, which appeared thanks to the insane love of the Chinese to sedans, does not frighten their appearance only internships. Experiments on the transformation of the hatchback in the sedan never indulged in harmonious design. And 307 sedan bright confirmation.

Although, two thirds of the body repeat the design of the hatchback, the fodder part of the car is original, and that there is a sin there, frankly terrible. But the volume of the trunk exceeds 500 liters. The car is equipped with two gasoline engines: 1.6 (110 hp) and 2.0 (143 hp), each of which can be equipped with both 5-speed mechanics and 4-range machines.

But the popularity of this model contributed to the emergence of the 308th sedan, when creating the French, the French took into account all the blunders, including the designer. So 308 sedan, which in Russia is expected in the summer of 2012, it looks quite decent.
