Peugeot 408
Last Updated:
The 408 will be the sedan version of the popular 308 hatchback.
At least for the Chinese market. Not sure yet if this will make it to Europe. But i don’t see why not.
For once the transformation doesn’t result in a horrific looking car. And it does have a more upscale feel.
This is the 308. The sedan version has a revised and more upscale front end.
Peugeot has been making some really good looking cars lately.
I think most of their models make more sense than the Fiats we might actually be getting over here.
Maybe they should have bought Chrysler….
I don't think this looks very spectacular. From certain angles, it looks very common.
Actually the 308 and 408 are separate models. Revised versions of the 307 and 407 before them (306/406, 305/405 earlier). Think of these as the Golf (308) and the Passat (408). Knowing Peugeot, there will be a station-wagon version of the 308, a coupe/cabrio 308cc and a 408 coupe.
Peugot may sell this as the 408 in China, but if it comes to Europe, it will be called the 308 Sedan, and the European 408 will be a separate, larger model.
This 408 is a 308 with a trunk. Peugeot already announced that the replacement for the 407 will be called the 508.
