All models include both mild-hybrid and plug-in hybrid configurations, allowing for more efficiency. Even though there hasn't been a second generation yet, Peugeot continues to reengineer the 408 so that it remains modern and fully equipped.

Used Peugeot 408 FAQ's
Which is the most popular engine in the Peugeot 408?
The 128bhp, 1.2-litre petrol turbo engine has proven to be the most popular with 408 buyers, and it's also the cheapest to buy. The plug-in hybrid configurations are increasing in popularity, with the option between the 180 and 225 power variants, with an all-electric driving range of up to 34 miles.
Which are the most popular trim levels?
The 408 GT is the top choice among 408 owners, with more standard features and a distinct elegance, but it does come with a higher price tag. Otherwise, the Allure models have been a good choice for anyone looking to stick to a tighter budget without giving up too many features.
What optional extras should I look out for?
Look out for models that include optional extras such as a panoramic roof, which allows more sunlight into the interior. An upgraded Focal sound system and a night vision kit are also available, both of which are worth having. An optional Drive Assist Pack adds adaptive cruise control, low-range blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.

Yes, the 408 is a crossover vehicle that has a spacious rear seat that accommodates three children with room to spare. There are also ISOFIX points in the back to hold child seats securely. With the spacious boot and efficient powertrains, the 408 is a top choice for busy families.
Is there a hybrid version of the Peugeot 408?
Even the petrol engine in the 408 is available as a mild-hybrid, ensuring maximum efficiency. However, there are also some plug-in hybrid models available that can be used for electric-only driving.
Is the Peugeot 408 available as an automatic?
All Peugeot 408 models come with a six-speed or eight-speed automatic transmission that provides smooth transitions and a comfortable drive. Since its introduction, a manual gearbox hasn't been offered.
