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 equipmentThis entry-level trim gets rear parking sensors, a reversing camera and dual-zone climate control. It gets the basics covered.
The engine
See full engine specsThe range-topping 408 is only a little bit quicker than the cheaper Hybrid 180. Performance is punchy, and the transition from electric to power is fairly smooth. It offers an official electric range of 40 miles.
