Peugeot 408 PHEV is the one to go for

The Peugeot 408 is the right direction for car companies to go to, it's not an SUV but nor is it a saloon or hatchback instead it's a mix of all of those.
Lets see if we can figure out whats so good about it in this film.

Resubscribed after the YT hack, hope you are good mate, got some catching up to do! BRING BACK THE KNOBS!

Interesting car Bob - seen a couple on the road - looks a bit odd to me but admire Peugeot design generally

[christianronn]

Finland has had E10 for about a decade by now. The questions and discussions you are having now we had a long time ago. It all blew over, everything works and nobody gives it any thought.

[ericrochford]

Design is a bit different but that’s not a bad thing - everything is looking so similar on the roads these days

[michaelstaunton]

A most interesting vehicle indeed this Pugh-Joe as I call them!! Enjoying the videos on the channel well done 👍👍

[rezner]

It looks like a Rover SD1 from the side. That's a good thing. 😎

Drove this today and I have to say shocked by the quality

Beautiful inside

I have a new 308 sw with the same PHEV 225bhp kit. I've had it since November 22. On electric mode I'm lucky to get 25 miles. In the winter months I was down to 18. It runs well in hybrid, but, to get the most out of it you must keep it charged up via 3 pin plug. The quality of the car is fabulous. The ride although at bit firm is very comfortable. Exceleration is good, motorway cruising is silent. Its very similar to the 408, so I reckon the 408 would be an excellent choice

Agree with you Bob, that is a great looking car, Peugeot have always made good cars, Just not a brand you would boast owning one. The bigger cars used to depreciate rapidly. Economical, and well equipped.
I love they way Irish people say Peugeot "Peuw gio" I watched a video on YT about an American lady comedian saying English words, I did not realise she had said Peugeot until the English Comedian corrected her.

It looks sensational. Was in Paris 10 days ago, saw a 408 in a very smart area (16th arrondissement, filled with ornate 19th-century buildings, prestigious avenues and boulevards), I can tell you it's a head turner, it looks really really posh. Tourists were taking pictures and were wondering if it was a Porsche.

[connclissmann]

€50k also gets you a Model Y also at the moment, albeit a single motor model. Second-hand value in 5 years time would be interesting to compare.

Hi Bob, did you stop doing your sunday lives?

[mikeburke]

When I looked at it no spec had heated seats. Have they sorted it? Great review!

[Scarbir]

Best looking car on the market? Reinvented the car market? Do they not sell other brands in Ireland? 😅

[eddiereddington]

Bob sorry to hear that you have cancer hope everything goes fine for you in the future and a again very sorry to hear that bad new wish you all the best in the future

[sharonec]

You never said anything about the horrible lump of black plastic stuck on the rear bumper Bob. Its like they had the car designed and then said do you know what's let's stick some black plastic on the rear down low to make it look worse lol.

[stevencampbell]

I like the look of it but 50k is far too much, the 1.2 is too weedy and I really wish they'd put the 1.5 hdi 130 in as an option as well especially as one of its sister cars the c4x is being introduced with that very diesel engine as it's presently electric only. I'd be curious to know if also you'd notice much difference between the 180hp version and the 225, I mean yes I know there's a difference of 45hp which isn't insignificant but because its a phev and because it's automatic I don't think there'd be that much in it. Bottom line for that one even at a base figure of 40k is that it's still too expensive. I shudder to think what the full EV version will cost.

[thomasflaherty]

What would be the best home character to get do you think

[mickdaly]

As for heating you use the voice assistant to set it to what you want no need use screen.
As for E10 your dead right you will burn more to do same milage as has being said on many UK forums about it.
Nice car lovely design etc etc but if you have a problem your left pulling hair out your head trying deal with Peugeot, I have the new 308 with numerous electric problems from day 1 and still Peugeot won't deal with them, it's excuse after excuse hoping you will just go away, had many over years but this is last time for me, worst after sale service ever
