New 2023 Peugeot 408 - Fantastic Fastback!

Показать описание

This is the all-new 2023 Peugeot 408 fastback sedan (don't call it "SUV coupe", haha just kidding). Checkout its interior, exterior design, features, and driving in this video.

Fastbacks are known for a single slope from the roof to the rear of the vehicle, as seen for example on the Ford (F.N) Mustang.

So the new 408 is much lower and longer than Peugeot's 3008 SUV, with a flowing and aerodynamic line giving it a distinctive silhouette that sets it apart from mainstream models.

However the new car, which will be built in Mulhouse in eastern France, does have some popular SUV characteristics such as a high ground clearance, big wheels and black plastic covering caps on the fenders, the sides and the rear shield.

The 408 will be launched early next year in Europe and in China by mid-2023, where it will be assembled in Chengdu.

It will initially be equipped with petrol and hybrid petrol-electric engines before switching to a fully electric version.

At 4,687 millimeters (184.5 inches) long, the new model carrying the lion badge is a smidge longer than the traditionally shaped 308 SW. It's 1,859 mm (73.2 in) wide and 1,478 mm (58.2 in) tall, with a generous wheelbase stretching at 2,787 mm (109.7 in). These proportions are also nearly the same as those of the 308 wagon. The wheels can be as large as this intricate 20-inch set available on the high-end trim levels.

With the rear seats in place, the trunk can swallow 536 liters (almost 19 cubic feet) or up to 1,611 liters (56.9 cu ft) after folding the rear seats of the version powered solely by a combustion engine. Because of its sleeker profile, it can't match the practicality offered by the 308, so you'll sacrifice some of the luggage capacity for the extra style.

There's not much to say about the avant-garde interior as it has been largely carried over from the 308s. That’s not necessarily a bad thing since the cabin looks like it was taken from a concept and/or a luxury car. It gets a pair of 10-inch screens and Peugeot's typically small steering wheel. A fancy Focal sound system with 10 speakers (including subwoofer) was developed over the course of three years specifically for the 408.

Peugeot will initially sell the new 408 with a choice between two plug-in hybrid powertrains. Both are front-wheel drive with an eight-speed automatic transmission and an electric motor producing 109 horsepower (81 kilowatts). What sets them apart is the 1.6-liter turbocharged gasoline engine as its has different states of tune, 150 and 180 hp. With the power of the combustion engine and electric motor combined, the lesser PHEV delivers 180 hp (133 kW) and 360 Newton-meters (265 pound-feet) of torque. The more potent variant ups the horsepower ante to 225 hp (165 kW) while retaining the same amount of torque.

Alternatively, there's an entry-level variant with a smaller three-cylinder 1.2-liter gasoline engine offering 130 hp (96 kW) and 230 Nm (169 lb-ft) of torque. It too sends its oomph to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission. Peugeot isn't planning to offer a diesel, but a purely electric derivative is in the offing.

The car is scheduled to hit the market in early 2023 once assembly will commence in France at the Mulhouse plant. Peugeot intends to sell the car in China as well by localizing production at the Chengdu factory. The EV model is destined to arrive a few months after the ICE and PHEV derivatives.

There’s no word on pricing yet, however expect it to be positioned between the 308 and the larger Peugeot 3008. Somewhere around £30,000 is a safe bet. The new Peugeot 408 is due to go on sale at the beginning of 2023.
