About the Peugeot 408
The Peugeot 408 is a genre-blurring 'dynamic fastback' that combines the elevated stance of a crossover with the sleek silhouette of a saloon. Built on the EMP2 platform shared with the 308, it features a significantly longer wheelbase to provide executive-level rear legroom. The GT trim is the range-topping specification, distinguished by its body-coloured grille, matrix LED headlights, and the '3D' i-Cockpit digital display. While its avant-garde styling suggests high performance, the 1.2-litre PureTech engine is tuned for efficiency and smooth cruising rather than outright speed.

Peugeot 408 fun facts
- The 408's 'Cat's Ears' are two small spoilers at the rear of the roof designed to optimise airflow towards the tailgate spoiler.
- Despite its SUV-like appearance, the 408 has a drag coefficient of just 0.28, making it as aerodynamic as many traditional saloons.
- The model is marketed as the 408 X in China to avoid confusion with a pre-existing 408 saloon model sold in that market.
