The Peugeot 408 (also marketed as Peugeot 408 X in China) is a crossover SUV produced by French automaker Peugeot. It was unveiled in June 2022 as a C-segment vehicle slotting between the 308 and 3008 or 508.[6] It was publicly exhibited for the first time at the 2022 Paris Motor Show.[7] It is based on the EMP2 platform closely shared with the third-generation 308, and despite sharing the saloon silhouettes, mechanically unrelated to the Chinese market 408 saloon (which itself was based on the previous-generation 308). According to Peugeot, the 408 is a blend between SUVs, hatchbacks and saloons, and has been described as a coupe crossover.[8][9]

Overview

Development of the vehicle by PSA Group took seven years due to its radical concept, and was led by project manager Aurélie Bresson.[10][11] The vehicle was codenamed as the P54 during development.[11] The design was inspired from an internal concept car that Peugeot had worked on, which was known as the "2015 Advanced Design manifesto".[12] Its design concept was also featured by the Citroën C5 X, which shares the same platform (long-wheelbase EMP2 V3[13]) and height with the 408. Due to its body shape, the 408 achieves a low coefficient of drag of 0.28, on par with traditional saloons.[12] The 408 also shared the same headlights, taillights, and dashboard design as the third-generation 308, which was developed alongside it.[8][12]

Three powertrain options similar to the 308 will be offered, which are two options of plug-in hybrid petrol with total output of 180 PS (178 hp; 132 kW) and 225 PS (222 hp; 165 kW), and a base 130 PS (128 hp; 96 kW) 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder PureTech petrol engine. All models are mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. The petrol engine will be replaced with a mild hybrid unit in late 2023 and a battery electric model called the e-408 will follow.[8]

The 408 is produced in Mulhouse, France since 2022 and Chengdu, China since January 2023.[14][15] In the Chinese market, the model is sold as the 408 X to differentiate it with the older saloon model.[16]

The dichroic paintwork of the 2017 Peugeot Instinct (fr) concept inspired that of the 408.[17]
