Peugeot says its new 408 is the first of its kind – a fastback silhouette at the top of the C segment, sitting between the 508 family hatch and 3008 SUV in the range. Rivals include stylish crossovers such as the Volkswagen T-Roc and Renault Arkana.
With a height of 1.48m, a length of 4.69m and a long wheelbase of 2.79m, the new Peugeot 408 provides spacious second row seats with 188mm of knee room. The boot is also generously sized, with a maximum volume of 536 litres, which can be increased to 1611 litres with the rear seats folded down.
For its driver and passengers, the new 408 offers the latest generation Peugeot i-Cockpit®, recognisable by its compact steering wheel, which is dedicated to driving pleasure and controlled agility. Emphasis is placed on the quality of the interior space and on connectivity, with the latest technologies making the driving and travelling experience more intuitive and rewarding.
Powered by six cameras and nine radars, a suite of 30 advanced driver assistance systems provide peace of mind and safety. These include:
- Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go function
- Night Vision, which warns of animals, pedestrians or cyclists in the lane before they appear in the high beam
- Long-range blind spot monitoring (75 metres)
- Rear Traffic Alert, which warns of potential hazards when reversing
The Peugeot 408 will be available with a range of powertrains, including two rechargeable Plug-in Hybrids with 180 and 225PS respectively, as well as a PureTech 130PS petrol version. All three are coupled to an eight-speed EAT8 automatic gearbox. An all-electric 408 will follow.
The new Peugeot 408 will hit showrooms at the beginning of 2023 and will be sold in global markets. Initially it will be produced for the European market, at the Mulhouse production facility in France, and subsequently in the Chengdu factory, in China, for the local market.

Peugeot announces new hybrid powertrain for 408
Peugeot has revealed a new HYBRID 136 powertrain for the 408. The powertrain combines a 1.2 petrol engine with a new six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. The gearbox incorporates a 28hp electric motor and a 0.9kWh 48V Lithium-ion battery.
The new hybrid powertrain can operate more than 50% of the time in zero-emission all-electric mode during low-speed urban cruising offering improved fuel economy of up to 15% and a reduction in CO2 of 22g/km when compared to the existing PureTech 130 EAT8 engine.
Thanks to the CO2 reduction, the hybrid powertrain has a reduced rate of Vehicle Excise Duty and a lower rate of Benefit-in-Kind Tax for company car drivers.
On 408 models, the HYBRID 136 e-DSC6 powertrain will be available on the Allure and GT trim levels. Prices for the 408 hybrid start at £32,585.
