Peugeot 408 overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The Peugeot 408 features a sleek liftback profile with an athletic stance. Its front end displays the brand's signature design language inherited from the contemporary 308, featuring detailed LED headlights and vertical daytime running lights. Depending on the trim, the vehicle rides on 18-inch alloy wheels. The fastback-style sloping roofline flows into a modern rear design equipped with distinctive LED taillights. Ground clearance is slightly elevated, bridging the gap between standard hatchbacks and crossovers, and the vehicle features protective engine underbody cladding.
Interior
Inside, the 408 carries over Peugeot's driver-focused cabin layout. It offers seating for five with a cockpit-style arrangement, featuring a small-diameter steering wheel and a high-mounted digital instrument cluster. Standard infotainment features include a central touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth connectivity, and a six-speaker audio system. Higher trim levels, such as the GT, upgrade the cabin with Alcantara and leather upholstery, aluminum sport pedals, electric front seats with memory functions, and a heated steering wheel.
Performance
The engine range starts with a 1.2-liter three-cylinder PureTech petrol engine producing 130 hp. For more power, buyers can choose a 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine generating 215 hp. The lineup also features plug-in hybrids combining a 1.6-liter engine with a 110 hp electric motor to deliver either 180 hp or 225 hp. Every powertrain is paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission sourced from Aisin, driving the front wheels. No diesel engines are offered, with the brand intending to introduce a fully electric variant in the future.
Practicality
As a class-C liftback, the Peugeot 408 offers practical daily utility. It has a length of 4687 mm and a wheelbase of 2787 mm, providing a roomy cabin with five seats. The boot space is generous at 505 liters, which is easily accessible via the large tailgate. Everyday convenience is enhanced by split-folding rear seats, front and rear armrests, and multiple storage compartments. Higher trims also add a hands-free power tailgate for easier loading.
Safety and tech
Tech equipment includes dual-zone climate control, keyless entry and start, and an electric parking brake. Driver assistance features span active cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and autonomous emergency braking. Parking is aided by rear parking sensors and a reversing camera, while top trims benefit from front sensors, automatic high beams, and a 360-degree surround-view camera system.
Buyer notes
Buyers comparing trims will find that the base models offer solid tech, but moving up to the Allure Pack or GT adds significant comfort. The GT trim is particularly distinct, introducing premium upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with driver memory, a heated windshield, and advanced parking cameras. Standard specifications, engine availability, and exact trim equipment can vary by regional markets, so buyers should check local dealer listings to confirm specific configurations.
