MANILA: Peugeot Thailand gave a closer look at the all-new Peugeot 408 at the 2023 Bangkok International Motor Show.

The all-new Peugeot 408, which made its global debut in June 2022, has a fastback silhouette with a midsize car's dimensions and an SUV-like seating position. It sits between the Peugeot 508 sedan and the Peugeot 308 hatchback in the brand's global portfolio.

Peugeot Thailand offers the all-new Peugeot 408 in a single PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric) variant. The Peugeot 408 is powered by a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine coupled with an electric motor. The system's combined output is 225ps of maximum power and 360Nm of maximum torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission delivers the power to the wheels.

The all-new Peugeot 408 comes with a 12.4kWh battery that provides an all-electric range of 63km. It can be fully charged for one hour and 55 minutes with a 7.4kW AC outlet.

With its bolder front and squared-off rear styling, the all-new Peugeot 408 epitomizes the latest automotive design trend. Among the notable exterior design elements are the body-colored grille with ultra-slim LED headlights, a three-claw LED daytime running light signature, and 20-inch alloy wheels.

On the inside, the all-new Peugeot 408 features the advanced i-Cockpit with a compact steering wheel, a high-mounted digital instrument cluster, and a 10-inch infotainment system.
