The new Peugeot four-wheel drive vehicle

The French company has officially presented its new four-wheel drive leisure vehicle with the code 4008, which certainly has its own special identity.




Style and refinement
The French model looks particularly elegant and sufficiently dynamic incorporating many elements, from Peugeot's new design identity. That's how he manages to gain attention. In terms of dimensions, the length of the new Peugeot 4008 reaches the 4,34 meters, the width the 1.768 μ. and its height 1,625 μ. In order not to overlap the two-wheeled crossover 3008, the 4008 it will be available in Europe only with four-wheel drive. The image in the spacious, practical and quality interior is pleasant, with the large screen on the center console and the smaller one on the instrument panel commanding attention. The new Peugeot 4008 it will be available on the market in the summer, but it is still unknown if it will be introduced in our country and everything will depend on the selling price that the dealership will secure.

With a glance
• Elegant design
• Only four-wheel drive and diesel versions in Europe
• Firmer to drive than the ASX
• Still unknown if it will be introduced

On the road: With a French taste
Driving it 4008 1,8 HDi we found the robustness of this excellent diesel throughout the rev range, as well as the fuel economy it offers. But what won us over was the overall driving image of the car thanks to the intervention of Peugeot technicians in steering and suspensions. So the steering system appears more precise and full of feel, while the tighter suspensions have noticeably reduced lean and unnecessary body movements. Comfort has not been affected and so the 4008 displays high ride quality combined with low noise levels. The automatic four-wheel drive with an electromagnetic clutch works flawlessly and on a small 4X4 track we found that the 4008 it is capable of many more things than it will ask for 99% of buyers!

Engines: Diesel only
In the European market, Peugeot's leisure vehicle will only be available with four-wheel drive and diesel engines (1,6 HDi and 1,8 HDi). The first one works 115 horses with 270 Nm of torque (280 with overboost) at 1.750-2.500 s.a.l., while the second (της Mitsubishi) it has variable timing and it delivers 150 horses with 300 Nm of torque in 2.000-3.000 rpm. Both engines are mated to a gearbox 6 relationships and thanks to the standard Stop system & Start achieve low consumption (4,9 lt./100 km. The 1,6 and 5,6 lt./100 km. The 1,8).

Helmet in the laundry

It may be that in most helmets the interior is anti-allergenic, antiperspirant and antibacterial, but this does not mean that we can neglect its cleaning.
So that we don't arrive, Well, to the point of… holding our breath every time we have to put it on our heads, we must take some time at regular intervals to wash the lining of our helmet. Provided, sure, that the inner lining of the helmet is removable (even the cheeks), the process is simple and won't take more than a few minutes.

First we carefully remove the lining from the helmet, after first observing how it is placed and re-fastened, so we can install it after we're done. Our cleaning supplies are few and easy to find. A basin with water and a neutral soap (a baby soap can prove perfect for the occasion) they are enough for us. Under no circumstances should we go into a sanitizing frenzy and use chemicals or alcohol, as this will destroy the investment. The first step is to put the liner in the basin of water and let it soak for a few minutes. Then, rub it gently with the soap (forget harsh scrubbing, boats etc.), with special care. After we clean it up, rinse it and leave it in the water for a few minutes.

The final act of… laundry is to wring it out carefully and then let it dry. Attention! The easy solutions of the hair dryer and the heater should be avoided, as high heat can damage the lining.

Premiere for the VW E-Bugster Speedster Concept

The Beijing Motor Show was chosen by VW to present the open version of the electric E-Bugster Concept, which essentially photographs the open version of the modern Scarab.

Last January, at the Detroit International Auto Show, VW presented the E-Bugster concept for the first time, an electric version of the new Beetle with even more... advanced design features. Today, the Germans go one step further by choosing the Beijing Expo to "unveil" the open version of the prototype. With the letter 'E' representing the word 'Electric' and the type of powertrain and the 'Bugster' being a contraction of the words 'Bug', which on the other side of the Atlantic is the Beetle's nickname and "ster", behind which the word "speedster" is hidden, this open concept is based on the latest generation Beetle, with a more... sporty and aggressive outer appearance, with wheels 20 inches, lower ground clearance and differently designed front and rear bumpers. also, characteristic is the panel that covers the batteries, directly behind the backs of the two passengers, as is the lowest by 90 mm.  windshield. Regarding its dimensions, VW announces length 4.278 μ. and width 1,838 m., value greater by 30 mm. compared to that of the "regular" Beetle.

As regards the vehicle's power unit, VW executives have chosen to install a sophisticated electric motor (zero emissions for sure), which yields 115 horsepower and is combined with lithium-ion batteries which in turn ensure a minimum driving range of the order of 180 km. According to the official announcements of the German company, the open electric prototype is able to accelerate from standstill to first 100 km/h in 10,9 δλ. Regarding charging the accumulators with energy, the German company announces that they are needed – as in the case of the corresponding closed one- just 35 minutes for a full charge, while, of course, their supply is also carried out through the braking of the vehicle
