The new PEUGEOT E-408, launched as a world premiere in Paris, stands out with its striking design and exceptional efficiency. This model features a distinctive fastback design that sets it apart within its segment.
The innovative fastback silhouette enhances the modern appeal of the PEUGEOT E-408. Despite its elevated stance, the vehicle boasts a sporty and sleek profile, measuring 1.48 meters at its tallest point to optimize aerodynamics.
The PEUGEOT E-408 is built on the multi-energy E-EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) with an impressive wheelbase of 2,787 mm. This design allows the battery to be installed between the wheels beneath the floor, preserving cabin space and lowering the center of gravity, which enhances dynamic road behavior and driving enjoyment.
The grille’s body color treatment gives the impression of it blending seamlessly into the bumper, symbolizing a new generation and the electrified future of the PEUGEOT lineup.
Sophisticated lighting designs reflect the brand’s signature identity, featuring vertical configurations with two fang-shaped LEDs that integrate into the shield. At the rear, the iconic three angled LED claws reinforce the PEUGEOT identity with a dynamic flair.
The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit features a compact steering wheel for optimal ergonomics and driving enjoyment, complemented by a fully configurable 10-inch 3D digital display.
The driving experience is marked by excellent handling, premium comfort, and outstanding urban manoeuvrability, boasting a turning radius of just 11.18 meters.
Under the hood, the new PEUGEOT E-408 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that delivers 157 kW (210 hp) and a robust torque of 345 Nm. This engine is produced in France at the Trémery facility through a joint venture between STELLANTIS and NIDEC.
The central 10-inch HD display manages the PEUGEOT i-Connect Advanced system, standard in the PEUGEOT E-408, featuring high-performance TomTom connected navigation with trip planning capabilities. Additionally, wireless mirroring allows seamless smartphone connectivity with the infotainment system (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto). The OK PEUGEOT natural language voice recognition command enables users to easily access infotainment functions.
The MyPEUGEOT smartphone application starts and controls the heating and air-conditioning, activates and programmes battery charge, and activates the welcome light sequence which can be useful for finding the car in a crowded car park, for example.
The interior of the new PEUGEOT E-408 is the picture of sophistication. The ambient LED lighting, with eight colours to choose from, diffuses a soft light behind the central screen and on the foam door panels, trimmed with fabric or Alcantara or authentic aluminium.
Temperature and acoustic comfort are optimised, for example with thicker windows than usual, measuring 3.85 mm. To ensure a healthy atmosphere inside, the new PEUGEOT E-408 is equipped with the AQS (Air Quality System), which constantly monitors the quality of the air entering the cabin and, if necessary, automatically activates air recirculation.
The particularly enveloping front seats have been awarded the prestigious AGR (Aktion für Gesunder Rücken) label by an independent German association of experts in ergonomics and back health.
The back seats are particularly comfortable, thanks to the 2.787 m long wheelbase, making the new PEUGEOT E-408 the most spacious PEUGEOT for passengers in the back seat, with 188 mm for the knees.
The boot of the new PEUGEOT E-408 is spacious, with capacity of 471 dm3.
The aerodynamics of the new PEUGEOT E-408 (SCx: 0.66) were a clear priority. Shields, boot lid, diffuser, pillars, rear-view mirrors, and all the body parts are optimised.
The new PEUGEOT E-408 has a standard heat pump and heated steering wheel and seats to optimise comfortable temperatures while preserving battery life.
The new E-408 has a standard 11 kW three-phase charger for AC charging. For DC charging using superchargers, the PEUGEOT E-408 accepts up to 100 kW which charges the battery from 20% to 80% in just over 30 minutes and 100 KM of range in just over 10 minutes.
The new PEUGEOT E-408 features cutting-edge driving aids, in some cases from more premium segments, such as adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go, and adjustable inter-vehicle distance, automatic emergency braking with collision avoidance system, unintentional lane and pavement departure warning system with trajectory correction, driver attention alert, night vision for detecting living beings, and long-range blind spot monitoring (75 metres).
