Designed as a contender in the compact SUV-coupe segment, the 408 was the badged-engineered version of the 2021 Citroen C4 SUV.
While upmarket customers aimed for the likes of the BMW X4 or the Mercedes-Benz's GLC, the French carmaker Peugeot imagined an alternative for those, with a less-expensive version of an SUV coupe named 408. Even though it couldn't provide the same features as its German competitors, it offered a lower price and, most importantly, a complete safety package. Last but not least, it promised to provide better fuel efficiency.
With its swept-back roofline and athletic appearance, the 408 impressed with a dynamic look that couldn't get unnoticed by European customers. At the front, the fang-like LED daytime running lights were placed on the outer side of the front fascia, while the narrow LED headlights created an aggressive look for the car. Moreover, the grille sported a new design language for the carmaker, with a V-shaped mesh pattern.
Inside, the 408 boasted a two-display dashboard: one in the instrument cluster and one atop the center stack for the infotainment system. The front bucket seats were separated by a tall center console, separating the front seats into two individual cocoons. At the back, the split-folding bench was roomy enough for two adult-sized passengers or three children. Despite the sloping back, the trunk was big enough for a family of four.
Under the hood, Peugeot installed either mild-hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions that sent the power to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
