2024 peugeot 408 fastback gt plug in hybrid: warranty: five years, unlimited km: battery warranty: eight years, 160,000km: 2023 peugeot e 2008 review: australian first drive. wed 6 sep 0. Performance. 9. summary. the peugeot 408 plug in hybrid is a unique electrified suv. it offers excellent fuel efficiency, a flurry of clever tech within the cabin and a spacious interior design. it's not the sportiest nor the most feature packed vehicle in its class but it's otherwise an excellent choice. Fully charged, the 408 will easily do between 0.0 and 2.0l 100km on the daily drive. with a depleted battery, we saw between 7.5 and 8.5l 100km. beyond the phev system, the 408 is easy to drive in town. the tiny steering wheel is mated to a quick rack, and very little effort is required to twirl it from lock to lock. The 408 is being offered in one grade for the australian market, the gt model, and it’s priced from $67,990 before on road costs, making it more expensive than its rivals. the closest rival, the cupra formentor vze phev sits at $64,990 msrp and the citroen c5 x phev slides in as the most affordable at $57,670 msrp.

Producing a total of 180hp from its 1.6 litre turbocharged engine and 81kw electric motor, the 408 phev claims a combined ev range of around 38 miles. it’s fairly nippy on paper, managing 0 62mph in 8.1 seconds and a top speed of 140mph despite a hefty kerb weight of 1.7 tonnes (the hybrid system adds around 300kg). Sunroof: $2,000. in our opinion, there aren’t many competitors to the 408, especially as a plug in hybrid. the mitsubishi eclipse cross phev is probably the most similar to the 408 in that it’s a coupe styled plug in hybrid small to medium suv but it’s also much cheaper to buy and its interior isn’t anywhere near as luxurious as the 408.
