This here is the new 2022 Peugeot 408, manufactured by Dongfeng PSA for the Chinese market. Except that the phrase new should be taken with some salt.

Both the Proton X70 and Proton X50 have steered the domestic car maker to a fresh and new direction. Proton has actually registered a few interesting model names back in 2018, and one of them is the Proton V70 name.
