The model
Read full Peugeot 408 reviewThe Peugeot 408 is pleasant inside and fairly well equipped. The closely-related Citroën C5 X is more comfortable and cheaper to buy, but the plug-in hybrid 408's slightly longer electric range makes it a better choice for company car buyers. The entry-level Puretech 130 makes the most sense for private buyers, and we recommend Allure Premium trim.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping GT trim is the most expensive in the line-up, but does get a lot of (non-essential) luxuries. That includes a heated steering wheel, a power-assisted tailgate, matrix LED headlights, fancier materials inside and ambient interior lighting.
The engine
See full engine specsThe cheaper and less powerful of the two plug-in hybrid options is only a little bit slower in a straight-line sprint than the more expensive Hybrid 225. The official electric range is 40 miles.
