The world's CHEAPEST great car!!!! Peugeot 408 Review.

The Peugeot 408 is not a car to be ignored. Should German manufacturers take note? Well Howard certainly thinks so.

He tried out one of the fabulous 408s in GT Line trim complete with the impressive plug-in hybrid drivetrain. The 1.6-litre system is available with either 180hp or 225hp, it’s wrapped up in a smart package with looks and technology to rival the best in the business.
Three trim levels are available: Allure, Allure Premium and GT. If you want the most potent hybrid version, you’ll want to opt for the GT. That’s the one Howard tested.

In this video, we take an in-depth look at all its key attributes including Peugeot’s i-Cockpit cabin design, passenger room, the impressively silent hybrid system and tons more engineering brilliance that comes as standard in this French crossover. Could it be the perfect family car you didn’t know you needed?

I got this when I got my Peugeot 2008 in 2021. Several people came to me and told me it was a nice looking car, never happend before.

My 2008 is superb. Stylish. Comfortable. Quick. Economical. Well built. European made too. A win on a fronts. So much cooler than those grey or white or black BMW/Audi/Merc genetics.

Picked mine up yesterday... so many people have already commented on it... and im really enjoying the drive.

Peugeot have levelled up big time since 2012-2014. Their effort should be applauded. Now considered as mid premium in all Europe, and going full premium. I absolutely love that brand. Love that car. Looks so futuristic. Bold, radical design. High quality.

Had ours for 7 months now its absolutely fabulous it looks outstanding in Elixir Red GT model with sunroof and 3d cameras around we love it

[pazzopietro]

Getting mine delivered next month. 225 hybrid gt in black with focal soundsystem and sunroof. #excited

[kindface]

One of the most under-rated car brands on earth, if not the most.

[brucemorris]

Did the designer forget to design the rear bumber?

[semarakgeo]

Your video sumps up everything about the 408 accurately....awesome car all around

[ccraig]

I heard the roise noise was not good from cabin on highway...

[peterhess]

I bought one - best car I’ve ever driven

[marksinclair]

Lovely interior, but why haven’t they trimmed around the windows inside the car? I hate seeing bare metal when I’m in the driver’s seat. It wouldn’t cost much and would really enhance this vehicle’s already premium feel.

[harimadhavan]

So is the suspension good does he mean? The Citroen C5-X has a floaty feel, so how about this?

[bet_big]

What company are you getting your price from ?

[cubular]

Hard to pay attention when you have to choose between either not seeing the instruments or the steering wheel nestled against your nether regions

[Dknightxs]

Peugeot really has a very unique and attractive design

[thebeardedyorkshireman]

Ok nothing about the car but which watch is he wearing?

[Veritas-lhgm]

finally a honest review of the peugot 408.

[Mercedes]

Missing good old 2.0hdi rather than this 1.2l toys

[wayneheyes]

Hold on half a tank is 121 miles!!! 2:45-2:48 if that’s the case then that is very bad range for a car you’d be filling it up every 5 mins
