Peugeot unveiled a new 408 sedan in China. The Peugeot 408 sedan was first released in 2014, and it was given a minor redesign in 2018. The new 408 continues to employ the same EMP2 architecture as the previous generation 308.
The new 408 features redesigned appearance that makes it appear to be a four-door version of the 308. Similar to the new 308 and the facelifted 3008, the front end has been totally reworked, with aggressive headlights and the signature vertical DRL fangs on the front bumper. The grille has been enlarged, and Peugeot's new symbol has been added.
Like the bigger 508, LED taillights are joined at the back by a black strip. The bumper has been reshaped and the tailgate has a more visible integrated spoiler than previously.
The new 408's proportions have remained unchanged, with a length of 4,750 mm and a wheelbase of 2,730 mm.
The Peugeot iCockpit, a redesigned version of the 408's interior, has been added. A high-mounted 12-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10-inch infotainment touchscreen are featured on the revised dashboard.
A turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with 167 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque sits beneath the hood. A six-speed dual-clutch transmission sends power to the front axle.
The new Peugeot 408 is already available for pre-order on Peugeot-official Dongfeng's website. The starting price is $17,903.
