Peugeot 408 Updates

Wednesday, 02 October 2024 01:59 PM The new Peugeot e-408, a fully electric version of the Peugeot 408, has been unveiled with a powerful 157 kW/210 hp motor and a range of up to 453 km. It features a 61kWh battery, integrated trip planner, and an 8-year/160,000 km warranty. The e-408 also includes advanced features like the Peugeot i-Cockpit and ChatGPT integration. I think this electric variant is a significant step towards Peugeots goal of becoming a mainstream EV leader.

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 03:03 PM Peugeot has announced that the all-new Peugeot 408 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid will be featured at the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards in Australia. As part of the event, voters will have the chance to win this vehicle by voting for their favorite TV personalities and shows. The Peugeot 408 stands out with its dynamic fastback silhouette and sophisticated design. I believe this partnership will highlight the vehicles stylish and confident driving experience.

Saturday, 01 June 2024 10:21 PM The Peugeot 408 has been reviewed for its interior, boot space, and reliability. It offers ample legroom and headroom, although it is quite narrow, making it a squeeze for three passengers in the back. The boot space is 536 litres in the petrol version and 471 litres in the hybrid, with the option to fold the rear seats for more space. I think the balance between space and style is well-executed in this model.

Wednesday, 01 May 2024 11:09 AM Peugeot has expanded the 408 line-up with the addition of a 48V Hybrid 136 e-DCS6, alongside the existing plug-in hybrid options. This move is part of Peugeots strategy to increase its electrified offerings. The 408s design, with its feline posture and dynamic lines, continues to attract attention for its unique fastback silhouette. I believe this diversification in powertrains will appeal to a broader range of buyers.

Monday, 01 April 2024 09:40 PM The Peugeot 408 has undergone safety testing by Euro NCAP, scoring four out of five stars. While it received high marks for child occupant safety, it was marked down for adult occupant protection and safety assist systems. Despite this, Peugeots improving reliability record is reassuring for potential buyers. I think the safety scores could be a point of improvement for future models.

Wednesday, 15 June 2022 08:04 AM Peugeot launched the 408 in June 2022, introducing an unprecedented fastback silhouette to the C segment. The vehicle features a premium design, elevated driving position, and two electrified powertrains: the PLUG-IN HYBRID 180 e-EAT8 and PLUG-IN HYBRID 225 e-EAT8. I believe the unique design and electrified options make the 408 a compelling choice in its segment.
