ALLURE
Daring to defy conventions, the PEUGEOT 408 emerges as a true trailblazer, captivating onlookers with its dynamic Fastback silhouette that shatters the boundaries of traditional design. Its unmistakable style speaks volumes, with a feline grace that embodies the essence of the brand. The sleek lines exude a sense of precision, while the grille, seamlessly blending with the body color, proudly displays the iconic PEUGEOT emblem adorned with a majestic Lion's head. The inverted cut of the rear bumper surprises while giving the profile an unprecedented dynamism. The 408 is firmly positioned on large 720mm diameter wheels. At the front, the claw-like lighting signature perfectly integrates the 408 into the PEUGEOT family, just like the three-claw LED lights at the rear.
With a length of 4.69m, based on a long wheelbase of 2.79m, the new PEUGEOT 408 offers remarkable space in the second row, with 188mm of knee room. The trunk is also generous, with a volume of 536 litres, expandable up to 1611 litres when the rear seat backs are folded down. With a height of 1.48m, the silhouette is slim and sleek, which also benefits its aerodynamic efficiency.
EMOTION
Embarking on a captivating journey, the PEUGEOT 408 entices both driver and passengers with the cutting-edge marvels of the latest generation PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®. As the hands delicately grip the compact steering wheel, a gateway to driving bliss and precise manoeuvrability unfolds.
But it does not end there. Emphasis is placed on the quality of the interior, where meticulous attention to detail elevates the senses.

The PEUGEOT 408 is powered by a 215-horsepower turbocharged gasoline engine, paired with an 8-speed EAT8 automatic gearbox.

It stands out as the first model available in Mauritius to sport the new Peugeot logo, a sign of an upscale move for the brand.
