The new 408, expected to launch in May, will arrive in Malaysia as a locally assembled model. It is now transformed into a jacked-up coupe SUV rather than a sedan. It stands out for its dynamic fastback silhouette and offers the latest-generation i-Cockpit, with its compact steering wheel dedicated to driving pleasure and controlled agility.
It has a spacious second row, with 188mm of legroom. The boot is also generously sized, with a volume of 536 litres, which can be increased to 1,611 litres (rear seats folded down).
The new 408 is powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged PureTech engine, which sends power to the front wheels.
At its European launch in mid-2022, the range of engines powering the 408 includes two rechargeable hybrid versions with 180 and 225bhp, and a 130bhp petrol version. All three are paired with an 8-speed EAT8 automatic gearbox. A pure electric 408 would follow. Which version (s) would go on sale in Malaysia remains to be seen.
Notably, the 408 breaks new ground by being the first to wear the brand's all-new Peugeot logo and features Peugeot’s innovative ergonomic seats certified by AGR Germany with built-in massage function.
At the Sinar Raya Open House Weekend, fans of the marque will enjoy rebates of up to RM8,000 and stand a chance to win lucky “ketupats” when they test drive and book the 2008, 3008 and 5008.
