Peugeot e‑408 58 kWh

The Peugeot e‑408 58 kWh is a stylish all-electric fastback crossover that blends coupé-inspired design with the practicality of a family hatchback. Positioned between a traditional hatchback and an SUV, the e‑408 brings Peugeot’s distinctive design language into the EV era while offering impressive efficiency and everyday usability.

Powered by a front-mounted electric motor producing 190 hp (140 kW) and 300 Nm of torque, the e‑408 delivers smooth and responsive performance. The front-wheel-drive powertrain enables acceleration from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 7.2 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 99 mph (160 km/h).

The vehicle features a 58.2 kWh usable battery (61.9 kWh gross) and offers up to 282 miles (453 km) WLTP range, making it one of the most efficient vehicles in its class. Its aerodynamic fastback profile and efficient drivetrain contribute to low energy consumption and strong real-world usability.

Charging capabilities include support for up to 120 kW DC rapid charging, allowing a typical 10-80% charge in approximately 32-35 minutes. Home and workplace charging are supported via an 11 kW AC onboard charger.

Inside, the e‑408 features Peugeot’s latest i‑Cockpit design, with a compact steering wheel, digital instrumentation and a large central touchscreen. The spacious cabin accommodates five passengers comfortably, while the luggage compartment offers up to 471 litres of boot space, making it practical for families and long journeys.

The e‑408 is aimed at buyers seeking something more distinctive than a conventional electric SUV. Its combination of fastback styling, strong efficiency and modern technology makes it a compelling alternative to vehicles such as the Tesla Model 3, CUPRA Born and Renault Scenic E‑Tech.
