Peugeot Motocycles Philippines
Having made its global debut at EICMA 2022, the XP400 represents the brand’s attempt to stake a claim in the adventure-scooter market segment. Boasting a 400cc single-cylinder engine, it churns out an impressive 36.7 horsepower. Equipped with a high ground clearance, it is perfectly designed to navigate city streets, mountainous terrains, and light trails with ease.
The vehicle rides on a 17-inch front wheel and a 15-inch rear, coupled with a front suspension that offers 140 millimetres of travel. For safety, twin disc brakes with a dual-channel ABS system come as a standard feature.
XP400
Considering the unique driving conditions in Southeast Asia, particularly in the Philippines, the XP400 appears tailor-made. The model offers an unmatched blend of accessibility and performance, catering to both rookie and veteran riders.
Notably, the Philippines has a 400cc rule restricting motorcycles on expressways, but with its 400cc engine, the XP400 easily bypasses this restriction, making it a significant addition to Peugeot Motocycles’ offerings in the country.
Motostrada, the official distributor of Peugeot Motocycles in the Philippines, announced that the first batch comprising 30 units is already accounted for. There is also a growing waiting list for the XP400, with the next batch expected to arrive by December 2023, considering the shipping duration from France.
Southeast Asian Markets
Attendees of the launch event were visibly elated as they embarked on their journey home with their brand-new adventure scooters, eagerly awaiting their next ride.
Highlighting the significance of this launch, Peugeot Motocycles Philippines confirmed that this initial batch in the country is the first of its kind in the ASEAN region. Furthermore, it signifies the activation of the first units outside Europe, underlining the brand’s global ambitions.
Peugeot Motocycles Philippines is now open for further orders, anticipating continued demand for the XP400 in the upcoming months.
