The Peugeot 408 is plush inside and fairly well equipped. The closely-related Citroën C5 X is cheaper to buy and softer riding, but you might prefer the 408’s more tied-down feel and sharper handling. What’s more, the plug-in hybrid 408's slightly longer electric range makes it a better choice for company car users. The entry-level Hybrid 136 engine makes the most sense for private buyers, and we recommend Allure trim.
Range-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.
