Stellantis, a global automotive conglomerate, is bringing great news to the market: the Peugeot 408, an innovative SUV Coupé that promises to transform the segment and intensify competition.

Stellantis' latest launch, the Peugeot 408, represents a significant leap in design and technology in the SUV market. Initially presented in 2023, it is ready to debut later this year. The new 408 distinguishes itself from traditional sedans, taking on crossover characteristics and, notably, a coupé design, entering an increasingly popular segment.

The Peugeot 408 impresses with its striking design. With generous dimensions of 4,68 meters long and a wheelbase of 2,78 meters, it offers a spacious trunk with a capacity of 560 liters. Its appearance is highlighted by the front grille with chrome details, daytime running lights in the shape of saber teeth and an adaptable full LED optical assembly. The side profile stands out for the elegant roof trim coupe style and 19-inch wheels.

Motorization of the new Peugeot 408

The new 408 brings a Interesting plug-in hybrid powertrain, with potential to get to Brazil. The base engine is a 1.6 four-cylinder turbo, complemented by an electric motor, resulting in a combined 225 horsepower and 36,7 kgfm of torque. The eight-speed automatic transmission ensures remarkable performance with impressive fuel efficiency.

In terms of security, the Peugeot 408 is one of the most complete in the segment, equipped with features such as collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, adaptive autopilot with stop-and-go function, lane keeping assistant, among others.

Market expectations

The Peugeot 408 competes in a luxury segment, with more sophisticated mid-size SUVs. Although prices have not yet been defined, the model is expected to occupy the price range of the current 3008, ranging between R$260.000 and R$280.000. With its combination of elegant design, cutting-edge technology and efficiency, the Peugeot 408 promises to be one of the most exciting new products of the year.

The arrival of the Peugeot 408 marks a new era for Stellantis, bringing innovation and sophistication to the SUV market. This launch highlights the company's commitment to offering vehicles that combine style, performance and advanced technology.
