Peugeot has been utilizing the "408" moniker beginning around 2010 in China for a vehicle rendition of the 308 hatchback. It got a complete update this year in the People's Republic, however it's not the vehicle highlighted in the contiguous pictures. Rather confusingly, the nameplate is presently being reused in Europe for an alternate model. Authoritatively classified as a fastback, the 408 planned for the Old Continent has a whimsical look similar to the Citroën C5 X.

It rides on the most recent emphasis of Stellantis' EMP2 stage imparted to the worldwide 308 hatchback and cart, yet Peugeot contends it's a more modern item situated "at the highest point of the C-portion." Say what you will about the plan, yet we should give the French automaker credit for really considering breaking new ground. The new 408 resembles a lifted cart with a swoopy roofline for a capricious body with additional lines and bends than we can count.

At 4,687 millimeters (184.5 inches) long, the new model conveying the lion identification is a smidge longer than the customarily formed 308 SW. It's 1,859 mm (73.2 in) wide and 1,478 mm (58.2 in) tall, with a liberal wheelbase extending at 2,787 mm (109.7 in). These extents are additionally almost equivalent to those of the 308 cart. The wheels can be just about as extensive as this unpredictable 20-inch set accessible on the very good quality trim levels.

With the back seats set up, the storage compartment can swallow 536 liters (very nearly 19 cubic feet) or up to 1,611 liters (56.9 cu ft) in the wake of collapsing the back seats of the variant controlled exclusively by a burning motor. On account of its sleeker profile, it can't match the common sense presented by the 308, so you'll forfeit a portion of the baggage limit with respect to the additional style.

There's not a lot to say regarding the vanguard inside as it has been generally persisted from the 308s. That is not really something terrible since the lodge seems as though it was taken from an idea as well as an extravagance vehicle. It gets a couple of 10-inch screens and Peugeot's normally little directing wheel. An extravagant Focal sound framework with 10 speakers (counting subwoofer) was created throughout three years explicitly for the 408.

Peugeot will at first sell the new 408 with a decision between two module half and half powertrains. Both are front-wheel drive with an eight-speed programmed transmission and an electric engine creating 109 pull (81 kilowatts). What separates them is the 1.6-liter turbocharged gas motor as its has various conditions of tune, 150 and 180 hp. With the force of the burning motor and electric engine consolidated, the lesser PHEV conveys 180 hp (133 kW) and 360 Newton-meters (265 pound-feet) of force. The more intense variation ups the drive bet to 225 hp (165 kW) while holding a similar measure of force.

On the other hand, there's a section level variation with a more modest three-chamber 1.2-liter fuel motor contribution 130 hp (96 kW) and 230 Nm (169 lb-ft) of force. It also sends its oomph to the front wheels by means of an eight-speed programmed transmission. Peugeot isn't wanting to offer a diesel, yet a simply electric subordinate is in the offing.

The vehicle is booked to stir things up around town in mid 2023 once gathering will start in France at the Mulhouse plant. Peugeot means to sell the vehicle in China also by restricting creation at the Chengdu plant. The EV model is bound to show up a couple of months after the ICE and PHEV subordinates.

Regarding whether this model was vital what with Peugeot previously having the 308 SW and 3008, just the marketing projections will actually want to respond to that.
