Launched as a World Premiere in Paris, the new PEUGEOT E-408 combines unexpected and truly eye-catching style with outstanding efficiency. The PEUGEOT E-408 is unique in its segment thanks to its dynamic fastback design.
The innovative fastback design perfectly matches the modernity of the new PEUGEOT E-408. Despite being raised, the model is sporty with a slender profile, measuring 1.48-metres at the highest point to optimise aerodynamics.
The PEUGEOT E-408 uses the multi-energy E-EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) with an exceptional wheelbase length of 2,787 m. As a result, the battery can be mounted between the wheels under the floor, ensuring cabin space is preserved and lowering the centre of gravity for the benefit of dynamic road behaviour and driving pleasure.
The body colour treatment of the PEUGEOT E-408 grille “dematerialises” it, so it appears to melt into the bumper. This marks a new generation and the electrified era of the PEUGEOT range.
Sophisticated light designs echo the brand’s traditional identity. The light design is vertical with two fang-shaped LEDs that dip into the shield. At the rear, the PEUGEOT identity shines through with the legendary three angled LED claws for heightened dynamism.
The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit with a compact steering wheel delivers exceptional ergonomics and driving pleasure. The digital handset features a 10″ 3D digital panel which can be fully configured and customised.
Driving pleasure means exemplary handling, premium comfort and perfect urban manoeuvrability with a turning radius of just 11.18 m between pavements.
The new PEUGEOT E-408 features a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor that develops 157 kW (210 hp) and generous 345 Nm torque. The engine is produced in France, in Trémery, by the joint venture STELLANTIS-NIDEC.
The central 10″ HD display controls the PEUGEOT i-Connect Advanced system, standard on the PEUGEOT E-408, featuring high-performance TomTom connected navigation with trip planner. Wireless mirroring connects the smartphone to the infotainment system (Apple CarPlay/Android Auto). The OK PEUGEOT natural language voice recognition command activates 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 battery has 58 kWh usable. With NMC 811 technology, 80% Nickel, 10% Manganese and 10% Cobalt, it boasts increased energy density with 18 on-board modules. The E-408 offers a range of 453 km in WLTP combined cycle to meet the needs of most C-segment customers.
The 3-stage regenerative braking system increases the range performance. The driver can also choose between three driving modes: NORMAL, SPORT or ECO.
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).
