WOW, Certified for this all new 2026 model Peugeot 408 which has a full electric variant also
Here comes a brand new PEUGEOT 408 and it looks even more like the Lamborghini Urus. The front of this new PEUGEOT 408 introduces an innovative and spectacular interpretation of PEUGEOT’s iconic lighting signature.
The three signature claws are expressed through three fine, slanted LED strips that also serve as scrolling indicators, (connected across the entire width of the car by an elegant LED line, positioned above the illuminated central badge (on GT and GT Exclusive).
At the rear, the new PEUGEOT 408 is the first model in the range to feature illuminated PEUGEOT lettering, surrounded by a gloss black décor and seamlessly integrated into a clear lens strip that spans the car’s width. At both ends, all new PEUGEOT 408 models now feature the premium lighting signature with three slanted LED claws.
PEUGEOT designers worked to ensure nothing disrupts the piercing gaze of the new PEUGEOT 408 or the spectacular visual effect of its new front lighting signature. The headlamps have been positioned lower in the bumper, away from the signature lights. Their presence is discreet, composed of two ultra-thin stacked modules—one for dipped beam (above), the other for main beam (below). When off, these modules are almost invisible thanks to their integration into a glossy black insert.
The headlights feature PEUGEOT FULL LED technology on Allure and Allure Business trims and PEUGEOT Matrix LED technology on GT, and GT Exclusive trims.
To preserve the elegance of the new PEUGEOT 408’s gaze, the proximity radar is also discreetly hidden behind the PEUGEOT badge—completely invisible from the outside while ensuring top-level safety.
A Redesigned Front for an Even Stronger Stance
The new PEUGEOT 408 boasts a reworked grille and bumper. Enhanced by sophisticated 3D sculpting and increased use of black, combining glossy and matte finishes for an elegant effect.
The lower bumper adopts a trapezoidal shape that further emphasises the car’s strong stance and character. This effect is optimised by colour treatments that combine glossy black elements with body-coloured parts for a smooth transition to the bodywork.
A Reaffirmed Flair
Innovative Wheel Design, a PEUGEOT 408 Signature. Continuing the disruptive wheel designs introduced at the launch of the PEUGEOT 408, the hybrid and plug in hybrid models are available with exclusive 19” Adakite wheels with geometric shapes contrasting with the circular form of the rim. Their enlarged, diamond-cut surfaces enhance their visual presence within the car’s highly sculpted profile.
These new 19” wheels come standard on GT trims with Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid engines (Plug in Hybrid GT Exclusive, receiving 20” Monolithe wheels) and are optional on Allure and Allure Business trims. These trims now feature glossy black 17” alloy wheels as standard.
A Striking New Colour Showcasing the PEUGEOT 408’s Shapes. The new PEUGEOT 408 debuts an exclusive Flare Green body colour. Bold and sophisticated, it offers spectacular shade variations depending on light exposure—shifting towards bright yellow in sunlight and deep green in shadow. This unique effect highlights the PEUGEOT 408’s highly sculpted bodywork with its numerous surface variations and dynamic volumes.
Sophisticated Refinement in Every Detail.
A new digital instrument cluster with enhanced graphics as standard. And for GT Exclusive and as an option on GT, the PEUGEOT 408 digital instrument cluster features elegant new 3D graphics for optimal readability and enhanced driving pleasure.
Even More Elegant Materials.
Perceived quality in the cabin is elevated by new refined fabrics for seats and trims. Combined with the warm, fluid design of the dashboard, they create a particularly welcoming atmosphere.
Intuitive, Customisable Controls with i-Toggles
Key elements of the PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, five i-Toggles are customisable touch shortcuts that allow quick access to favourite climate settings, navigation to frequent destinations, phone contacts, preferred radio stations, and more.
Customisable Ambient Lighting

Elevated Driving Position, Dynamic Handling.
The new PEUGEOT 408 combines an elevated driving position for perfect road visibility with a sleek, sporty profile. Its limited height of 1.48 m ensures remarkable dynamic balance.
PEUGEOT’s renowned handling excellence is reinforced by wide tracks (1.59 m front, 1.60 m rear), giving the new PEUGEOT 408 a solid grip on the road. Driving pleasure extends to urban environments: with a kerb-to-kerb turning radius of 11.20 m, the new PEUGEOT 408 is agile and easy to manoeuvre.
PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®: A Key Element of Driving Pleasure
The PEUGEOT i-Cockpit®, a hallmark of driving pleasure, showcases its exceptional ergonomics in the new PEUGEOT 408, designed entirely around the driver.
The compact steering wheel enhances the dynamic feel and agility of the new PEUGEOT 408. Ergonomic and optionally heated, it integrates controls for the multimedia system (radio, phone) and various driver assistance features.
The new PEUGEOT 408 features a 10‑inch digital instrument cluster positioned in the driver’s line of sight for outstanding readability, with customisable graphics and multiple viewing modes including navigation, media, driving aids, and energy flow. Complementing it, the central 10‑inch touchscreen sits slightly lower and angled towards the driver for easy access, while remaining convenient for the front passenger.
Electric or Electrified: A Complete Range of Powertrains
Pure Electric Thrills with the New PEUGEOT E-408
With its powerful electric motor, the PEUGEOT E-408 delivers 213 PS (157 kW) and a generous torque of 343 Nm.
Beyond performance, efficiency is a core focus in the design and development of the new PEUGEOT E-408.

Class-Leading Interior Space
Thanks to its long 2.79 m wheelbase, the new PEUGEOT 408 offers exceptional rear passenger space — the most spacious PEUGEOT model for rear occupants, with 183 mm of knee room. Thanks to a footwell under the front seats, which is designed to maximise freedom of movement.
The boot is impressively spacious, offering up to 536 litres of volume. With the 60/40 split rear bench folded down, cargo capacity reaches 1,611 litres. Furthermore, you can load items up to 1.89 m in length.
Premium Features for First-Class Comfort
Firmly positioned at the top end of the C-segment, the new PEUGEOT 408 offers a wealth of features to enhance the enjoyment of travel.
To maintain a healthy cabin environment, the PEUGEOT 408 offers AQS (Air Quality System) and Clean Cabin. Both are standard on GT Exclusive and an option on GT. The AQS system continuously monitors incoming air and can automatically activate air recirculation. Clean Cabin offers the addition of an air treatment system that filters pollutants and particles, with air quality being displayed on the central touchscreen.
Climate control also contributes to passenger comfort, with high-mounted front air vents and two rear vents located at the back of the centre console.
Thermal and acoustic comfort is further enhanced by advanced glazing technology. Front and rear windows are thicker than average (3.85 mm), and front side windows are laminated (3.96 mm on GT and GT Exclusive) for improved sound insulation and added safety. An optional opening glass sunroof lets extra light into the cabin.
Hi-Fi Premium Sound by FOCAL®
The PEUGEOT 408’s Hi-Fi Premium FOCAL® system is the result of over three years of co-development with the high-end audio specialist, a long-time partner of PEUGEOT. Enhanced by ARKAMYS digital sound processing, the system includes 10 patented high-tech speakers, TNF aluminium inverted dome tweeters. 4 165 mm Polyglass woofers/midrange with TMD (Tuned Mass Damper) suspension.

A Complete and Optimised Electric Experience
To ensure total peace of mind, PEUGEOT offers a Trip Planner on the new PEUGEOT E-408. Integrated into the connected navigation system and PEUGEOT CONNECT PLUS services and working in combination with battery pre-conditioning, it plans routes to maximise range and simplify charging. It calculates the ideal route based on distance, battery level at departure and desired level at arrival, available charging stations near the destination, and predicted energy consumption (based on speed, traffic, road type, elevation, etc.).
The new “80% charge limit” function, available for AC charging, allows users to tailor charging levels to their daily use.
The new PEUGEOT E-408 benefits from a new battery pre-conditioning function. This allows the battery to be brought to an optimal temperature for recharging, especially in cold weather. A command on the central touchscreen allows launching pre-conditioning, and on the GT trim, the navigation system will automatically trigger pre-conditioning when approaching the charging station suggested by the Trip Planner.
Public charging is simplified with the new “Plug & Charge” feature^: the charging station automatically recognises the car when the cable is connected — no need for a badge, app, or bank card. The cost of electricity is directly debited from the user’s account. All transactions are visible on the central screen or via the Free2Move Charge app. This feature is already available at over 15,000 charging points across Europe, mainly on major routes, and is set to expand rapidly.
The new PEUGEOT E-408 is pre-equipped with V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) functionality, allowing users to power external devices via the car’s high-voltage battery — for example, charging an e-bike or running portable lighting. The system delivers up to 3.5 kW and 16 A. The adapter is available as an accessory from PEUGEOT dealers.
^Available starting from Summer 2026 production, as part of Connect ONE offer.
