Peugeot 408 features hybrid and electric powertrain options

The Peugeot 408 is a multi-configuration vehicle featuring a unique coupe-fastback silhouette that distinguishes it from standard SUVs or crossovers. The model offers various powertrain options, including a 1.2-liter mild hybrid petrol engine and a 1.6-liter plug-in hybrid.

The fully electric version, the e-408, is noted for its balanced performance, providing immediate motor response and linear power delivery. It utilizes a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-independent rear axle to optimize space for batteries and the trunk while maintaining driving comfort and stability.

Interior features include a digital dashboard and a multimedia system. While the design includes a small steering wheel positioned low to allow visibility of the digital instrument cluster, the cabin offers significant space for passengers and a regular, easily accessible trunk.
