The new fully electric Peugeot E-408 is unveiled with a range of up to 281 miles

Stellantis has just introduced the new, fully electric Peugeot E-408. The new EV boasts a fastback silhouette that exudes elegance and modernity. Its design is a harmonious blend of aerodynamic efficiency and visual appeal. The car’s sleek lines not only contribute to its aesthetic allure but also enhance its aerodynamic performance, reducing drag and improving range.

With an overall length of 4.69m and a width of 1.85m (with the mirrors folded), the E-408 utilizes the multi-energy EMP2 (Efficient Modular Platform), which boasts a wheelbase of 2.79m. These generous dimensions allows the battery to be placed beneath the car’s underbody, under the floor between the wheels, thereby preserving interior space while lowering the E-408’s center of gravity, ensuring dynamic road handling that makes driving a pleasure.

With its wide tracks, 1.59m at the front and 1.60m at the rear, the E-408 is firmly planted on the road. Despite its elevated stance, this model maintains a sleek and sporty profile thanks to its limited height of 1.49m, improving its aerodynamics. The new Peugeot E-408 is available in five colors: Okenite White, Obsession Blue, Selenium Grey, Elixir Red, and Nera Black.

The new E-408 is equipped with a synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets, delivering 210hp (157kW) and an impressive 345Nm of torque. This motor is produced in Trémery, France, by the Stellantis-Nidec joint venture, while the associated reducer is manufactured by Stellantis in Valenciennes, France.

The E-408 is equipped with a high-voltage 58.2 kWh battery, utilizing NMC 811 technology, comprising 80% Nickel, 10% Manganese, and 10% Cobalt, it boasts increased energy density with 18 onboard modules. This allows the new E-408 to achieve a range of 281 miles in the WLTP mixed cycle, catering to the needs of most C-segment customers, whose typical daily mileage is under 27 miles (NCBS Market Data, FY23 – HY24).

For AC fast charging, the new E-408 includes an 11kW three-phase onboard charger as standard. For DC rapid charging, the E-408 accepts power of up to 120kW, allowing the battery to charge from 20% to 80% in just over 30 minutes (under nominal battery temperature conditions), recovering 62 miles of range in just over 10 minutes.

As standard, the new E-408 is equipped with a heat pump, as well as heated seats and a heated steering wheel, optimising passenger thermal comfort while conserving battery energy.

The 10-inch high-definition central screen allows full control of the Peugeot i-Connect Advanced infotainment system, standard on the E-408, and features efficient TomTom-connected navigation. For optimal clarity, the map display covers the entire 10-inch touchscreen. The system also boasts over-the-air updates through the built-in telecom network.

Inside the new E-408, LED ambient lighting (available in eight colours) casts a soft glow, adding to the sophisticated atmosphere of the cabin. This ambient light extends to the padded door panels, which can be covered in fabric or Alcantara®, depending on the chosen trim level.

The seat design showcases the quality of materials used, including mottled fabric, technical meshes, Alcantara, and embossed Nappa leather. In the GT versions, these seats are adorned with signature Adamite colour stitching, which also highlights the dashboard, door panels, and padded console pads.

The boot volume of the new E-408 is exceptionally generous, offering 471L of loading capacity. When the rear seats are folded down, this space increases to 1,545L. With the bench seat’s back down, it is possible to load an object up to 1.89m long.

The new Peugeot E-408 is available in two trims, Allure and GT.

The E-408 Allure comes as standard with features including LED headlights, 19-inch alloy wheels, the Peugeot i-Cockpit with a customisable 10-inch digital instrument cluster, connected navigation with a trip planner, the ‘OK PEUGEOT’ voice command, wireless Mirror Screen with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto, a six-speaker audio system, a heated driver’s seat and steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a rear parking camera with sensors, along with a heat pump, among other features.

The E-408 GT adds to the Allure version’s equipment with additional features, including Matrix LED headlights, front parking sensors, the Peugeot i-Cockpit with a customisable 10-inch digital instrument cluster, aluminium interior trims with customisable eight-colour ambient lighting, aluminium door sills, a hands-free motorised tailgate, and the Drive Assist Plus pack (Level 2 semi-autonomous driving), among others.

Stellantis announced it will participate in the 90th edition of the Mondial de l’Auto / Paris Motor Show 2024 from October 14 – 20, 2024, spotlighting three iconic brands – Citroën, Peugeot, and Alfa Romeo – and, making its debut at the show, the Chinese brand, Leapmotor.
