Despite some similarities, the new car is not a modification of the “three hundred and eighth.” This is a completely independent product in the sedan, carefully adapted to our difficult conditions. We worked seriously, significantly increasing ground clearance (as much as 178 mm!), Strengthening the suspension (adding a coil to each spring), installing a battery and an increased power generator to facilitate starting and powering all kinds of heaters, reliably protecting the engine from the bottom and adding a lot of little things.

Engines "lion cub" all as one have the same displacement of 1.6 liters. The weakest atmospheric engine TU5JP4, with a capacity of 110 hp, migrated from the already mentioned Peugeot-308. The veteran's asset is a reliable design and a very modest fuel appetite (which can not be said about oil) with a completely acceptable traction. But they complete it only with a mechanical gearbox, which is unlikely to suit a city dweller spoiled for comfort.

Fans of innovation will like another naturally aspirated unit - VTi with a capacity of 120 hp. A characteristic design feature is the absence of a throttle valve in the classical sense (physically it is, but is used only in emergency mode). The flow of the mixture here depends on the lift of the intake valves. In combination with variable valve timing, this provides the motor with excellent performance. It can be selected with both mechanics and a four-speed automatic. The latter is the heir to the infamous AL4 gearbox, however, thanks to the new torque converter, the ZF is more compliant. Given the relatively affordable price, we tend to consider this option as the most acceptable.

The updated version of the THP engine (150 hp) was adapted to difficult operating conditions, in particular to “unstable fuel quality”. In addition, the engine is equipped with a turbocharger, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing. In pair, they put him exclusively an Aisin six-speed automatic, pleasing with the adequacy of the work. The bright feeling is overshadowed by the price of the kit - by 75, 000 rubles. more expensive than the previous "automatic" version.

The diesel 1.6 HDi with a passport flow rate of 5 l / 100 km in the combined cycle is the record holder of economy in the class. The motor was also borrowed from the Peugeot-308, there is experience in servicing and repairing dealers of the brand. It is not cheap - plus 88, 000 rubles. to the price of an engine of 110 forces in the same configuration, while it is aggregated only with a mechanical five-step. The townspeople are again in flight.

The combination we choose is offered only in the Asset configuration for 671, 000 rubles. It seems that there is already everything you need, but only at first glance. Take security systems, for example. They don’t save on them now - even budget versions can boast a complete set designed for this model. In extreme cases, the missing items can be purchased. Alas, neither the dynamic stabilization system, nor the side airbags in the version we selected can be obtained for any money. But the fog lights are in the database. Meet something by clothes!

The absence of mirrors in the sun visors and the illumination of the thresholds is unlikely to upset anyone, but without an air conditioner you can’t survive in the heat for a long time. As an alternative, you can order dual-zone climate control for 14, 000 rubles, receiving in addition air ducts for rear passengers built into the front armrest. Nowhere to go - fork out. The hardships of winter will be brightened up by heating the lower part of the windshield and washer nozzles (4000 rubles), as well as a pleasant to the touch and, most importantly, non-slip leather steering wheel (3500 rubles). By the way, save as much as 2500 rubles if you take the same set of pleasures in the Comfort package for 19 thousand.

Radio recorders with a Bluetooth communication system and a USB input, we believe, are quite enough. Regular navigation for such a car is a little expensive (37, 000 rubles), - a removable gadget, in our opinion, is preferable.
Pay 20, 000 rubles. for alloy wheels of the same diameter as that of stamping, no reason. For the same money, the market provides an unlimited selection of products of similar quality. And the regular disks remaining out of work will come in handy for winter tires.

I rather liked it.
It used to be “French” not particularly favored, but today these cars are held in high esteem. It is understandable: while other manufacturers are trying to differentiate the trim levels with the color of the upholstery, the Peugeot managed to “paint” the ordinary sedan with five engines. And we are talking about different engines for moderate money.
Most likely I didn’t like it
Two little things can turn an African lion into a purebred kitten - the work of the machine and walking gaps around the perimeter of the trunk lid. By the way, fans of the model pay attention to this. The first problem is neutralized by the choice of equipment without automatic transmission. To overcome the second, ask the dealer to eliminate the "excesses in the field" at the expense of the company.
