The E-408 blends the sleek design of a fastback with zero-emissions efficiency, offering a more environmentally friendly driving experience without compromising on style. At the heart of the E-408 is a single, front-mounted electric motor, delivering 157 kW and 345 N.m of torque. This setup enables a range of up to 453 km on a single charge, according to WLTP figures, thanks to its 58.2 kWh nickel-metal cobalt (NMC) lithium-ion battery pack. With a claimed energy consumption of 15.2 kWh/100 km, the E-408 aims to be both efficient and practical for everyday use.

Charging flexibility is another highlight. The E-408 supports AC charging of up to 11 kW and DC fast charging of up to 120 kW, enabling a 20 to 80% recharge in just over 30 minutes. Peugeot’s integrated trip planner simplifies the charging process for long-distance travel.

Drivers can select from three driving modes – Normal, Eco, and Sport – and adjust regenerative-braking intensity using paddle shifters. These features enhance driving dynamics and provide a customisable experience suited to various conditions.

Globally, the E-408 is available in two trims: Allure and GT. The Peugeot E-408 Allure comes equipped with LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit featuring a 10-inch customisable digital instrument cluster, and connected navigation with a trip planner. It also includes OK PEUGEOT voice command, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a six-speaker audio system, a heated driver’s seat and steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, a rear camera and parking sensors, and a heat pump, among other features.

Safety remains a priority across the range, with features like autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and blind-spot monitoring included as standard. Peugeot also backs the E-408 with an eight-year/160 000 km warranty through its Allure Care programme, providing added peace of mind for electric vehicle customers.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
