New PEUGEOT E-408: attractive from every angle, 100% electric
With the unveiling of the new 408 in June 2022, PEUGEOT has brought the allure of a fastback silhouette unprecedented in its segment. Unexpected because it is different, the 408 is distinguished by its feline stance and dynamic lines, which also offer a raised driving position.
Like all 408s destined for the European market, the new PEUGEOT E-408 will be produced exclusively at the Mulhouse plant and benefits from the ALLURE CARE program with its warranty of up to 8 years/160,000 km, the longest of any European brand.
It has been on sale in the Allure and GT trim levels since 2 October 2024 in the main European markets. Thanks to its aerodynamic design, the new E-408 offers a range of 453 km in the WLTP combined cycle, meeting the expectations of motorists in this segment, who travel an average of 45 km a day.
ALLURE: AN UNEXPECTEDLY DYNAMIC FASTBACK DESIGN
With an overall length of 4.69 m and a width of 1.859 m (mirrors folded), the new PEUGEOT E-408 uses the E-EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform) multi-energy platform, which stands out for the length of its wheelbase, at 2.787 m.
This generous dimension means that the battery can be installed under the floor between the wheels, preserving all the space in the passenger compartment and lowering the vehicle's centre of gravity. This architecture combines the dynamic elegance of a fastback with roadholding worthy of the best saloon cars, and a slightly raised driving position that enhances everyday driving pleasure, safety and comfort.

EMOTION: MORE THAN EVER, PLEASURE IS THE KEY TO PROGRESS
The incomparable PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® offers exceptional ergonomics. The compact steering wheel increases driving pleasure tenfold by offering unique agility and precision of movement. Located at eye level just above the steering wheel, the digital instrument cluster incorporates a 10’ 3D digital screen that can be fully configured and customized.
More than ever, driving pleasure is in the genes of the new PEUGEOT E-408, with exemplary roadholding, top-of-the-range ride comfort and perfect manoeuvrability in town, made possible by a turning radius between kerbs of 11.18 m. To improve vibration comfort, body rigidity has been optimized by bonding structural components. The new E-408 is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor developing 157 kW (210 bhp) and a generous 345 Nm of torque. This engine is produced in France, at Trémery.

The new PEUGEOT E-408 is designed as a top-of-the-range C-segment fastback. It offers a wealth of equipment designed to help you enjoy the pleasures of travel and mobility to the full. Inside the new E-408, the ambient LED lighting (choice of 8 colours) located behind the central screen diffuses a soft light and contributes to the sophisticated ambience of the cabin. The same light is carried through to the foamed door panels, which are clad in fabric, Alcantara® or genuine pressed aluminium, depending on the trim level.
The thermal and acoustic comfort of the new PEUGEOT E-408 is optimized by the technologies used in the design and manufacture of its windows, which are 3.85 mm thicker than average, and laminated side windows (3.96 mm on GT) for improved sound insulation and enhanced safety.

EXCELLENCE: A CONSTANT QUEST FOR EFFICIENCY, SAFETY AND QUALITY
Efficiency was at the heart of the PEUGEOT teams' concerns throughout the design and development of the E-408. Particular attention has been paid to the aerodynamics of the new PEUGEOT E-408 (SCx: 0.66). All the bodywork components have been optimised, including the bumper, boot lid, diffuser, body pillars and rear-view mirrors.
The E-408 also features a special underbody that forms an aerodynamic flat-bottom design for low electricity consumption of 15.1 kWh/100 km (WLTP combined cycle), giving a range of 453 km in the combined cycle. The new E-408 is fitted with a high-voltage battery with a capacity of 58.2 kWh. Using NMC 811 technology - 80% Nickel, 10% Manganese, 10% Cobalt - it boasts increased energy density with 18 on-board modules.

PEUGEOT'S ELECTRIC RANGE: EFFICIENT BY NATURE:
On a 100% electric vehicle, it's not just battery capacity that determines range. Efficiency is just as important. How do you maximize it? With a good SCx (the mathematical product of the vehicle's frontal area and its aerodynamic drag coefficient). The lower it is, the less resistance a car will put up to the air and the less fuel it will consume. The PEUGEOT electric range is a good example of this. Each model offers one of the best range to battery capacity ratios.
Here are a few examples (based on the WLTP cycle):
- The new E-408 offers 453km for 58 kWh (7.8 km/kWh)
- The new E-3008 offers 700 km for 98 kWh (7.1 km/kWh)
- The new E-5008 offers 502 km for 98 kWh (6.8 km/kWh)
- The E-308 offers 416 km for 51 kWh (8.15 km/kWh)
- The E-208 offers 410 km for 48.1 kWh (8.52 km/kWh)
