Peugeot has expanded the 508 L range in China with the introduction of a new Performance model, named the 400 THP, at the 2020 Beijing Auto Show. Based on the long wheelbase version that’s exclusive to the People’s Republic, the 400 THP slots between the 360 THP and the PHEV variant that will launch at the end of the year, and has 208 HP at 5,500 rpm and 300 Nm of torque from 1,900 to 4,500 rpm.
Priced from 189,700 yuan (US$ 27,816), the 508 L 400 THP sports a black-finished roof, dark grille surround
and two-tone 18-inch wheels. Further setting it apart from the rest of the
lineup are the red leather seats and black roof lining. Furthermore, the
mid-size car continues to be offered with features such as the air filtration
system and i-Cockpit.
Peugeot’s electrified range is also
present at the event. Shown in Guangzhou late last year and launched in May
2020, the e-2008 and 2008 subcompact crossovers are present at brand’s Beijing
Auto Show stand, and so are the 4008 plug-in hybrid, 5008 SUV and 408 sedan.
Peugeot continues celebrating its 210th
anniversary at the Chinese show by displaying its dedicated slogan, ‘2.1.0
Let’s Go!’, and showcasing its bespoke logo, with the Lion underline by an
arrow and the caption ‘210 Years’ or ‘Since 1810’.
