The new Peugeot 408 is now open for orders in the UK with prices starting from £31,050. First customer deliveries will commence in Q1 2023.
As part of its commitment to offer an electrified variant across its entire model line-up in 2023, the new 408 is available from launch with two Plug-in Hybrid powertrains and one PureTech petrol engine.
The Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 combines a 179hp PureTech petrol engine with an 81kW electric motor for a total power output of 225hp, while the Hybrid 180 e-EAT8 models come with a 150hp PureTech petrol engine that’s combined with an 81kW electric motor for a total power output of 180hp. Importantly, every trim level, from Allure to First Edition is available with Hybrid powertrains.
A 12.4kWh battery is featured in both hybrid models and comes with an eight-year / 100,000-mile warranty. Depending on version, the new PEUGEOT 408 hybrid models are capable of achieving an EAER electric range of 40 miles, and therefore benefit from a 4% reduction in Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) rate to just 8% for business users in 2022/23.
Two types of on-board charger are available: a 3.7kW single-phase charger as standard and an optional 7.4 kW single-phase charger.
