2023 Peugeot 408 Coupe Crossover Lands In Paris To Banish Boring Family Cars | Carscoops carscoops
, though. It has the same basic layout of four-doors, a sporty liftback rear, and raised ground clearance versus a conventional sedan. But the Peugeot has a bolder face, different window design in the the rear door, squared-off rear styling and body panels characterized by more assertive lines.
Black cladding on the bumpers, wheelarches, and below the doors tries to create a bit of attitude, and ultra-slim LED headlights carry that moody look through to the front end design. The rear styling with its Subaru rear bumper is arguably less happy, but the two “cat ears” mounted on the top of the C-pillars to optimise airflow around the rear end are certainly eye catching.the base engine is a 1.2-liter PureTech triple that makes 128 hp and drives the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmissions. Peugeot doesn’t say how fast the 408 goes, but the Citroen with the same powertrain combo needs a fairly leisurely 10.
Both mate a PureTech 1.6-liter four with an 81 kW electric motor, again driving the front wheels only through an eight-speed auto. But while the 408 Hybrid 225’s version of the gas motor makes 178 hp before its electric boost, the Hybrid 180 can only muster 148 hp . Those 180 and 225 model names refer to the total system output in metric horsepower in each case, which translates to 178 hp and 222 hp.
The exact specification will vary depending on trim grades and markets, but buyers who really want to trick out their 408s will be able to specify massage seats, Nappa leather upholstery, a panoramic roof and a 690 W hifi from French audio brand Focal. And Peugeot has you covered for safety kit, the roll call of gadgets including adaptive cruise control with Stop and Go function, 360-degree parking assistance with four cameras, and night vision.
