By 2013, the 408 saloon and estate variants shared showroom space across Argentina, each configured with either the 1.6-litre diesel or a modest petrol option. The range spanned from practical work transport to family-focused trim levels, with air conditioning and electric windows appearing on higher specifications—precisely what regional buyers expected.
By 2015, the 408 faced intensifying pressure from Chinese domestic rivals and Korean competitors flooding the mid-size sedan segment. Peugeot's refresh brought a sharper grille and updated interior trim, but the powertrain lineup—anchored by a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 156 horsepower—remained largely familiar. It was a holding action in a market where buyer
By 2016, the 408 had become a fixture in emerging markets where practicality trumped prestige. The three-brochure set for Brazil, China, and Malaysia tells the story of a car engineered for sprawling cities and humid climates. Chinese buyers received a 1.6-litre petrol engine rated at 115 hp, while Malaysian and Brazilian markets saw the same powerplant adapted for local fuel g
The 2017 408 carried a transversely mounted 1.6-litre petrol engine producing 115 hp, paired with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission depending on market. This powertrain choice reflected Peugeot's strategy for emerging markets where fuel economy and affordability mattered more than outright performance. The platform itself was shared with the 308, b
The 2018 update expanded the 408's reach with four distinct body configurations: the saloon remained the volume seller, but buyers could now choose a more spacious estate variant across Chinese and Russian markets. A turbocharged 1.6-litre engine producing 165 hp anchored the range, paired with either manual or automatic transmissions to suit different buyer priorities.
When the 408 arrived in European showrooms during 2021, it positioned itself squarely between the compact sedan and the midsize family car—a gap many rivals had abandoned. Buyers seeking practical proportions without the fuel consumption of a full-size saloon found appeal in its 4.75-metre length and 510-litre boot. The turbocharged petrol engine delivered 130 hp, sufficient fo
Arriving in 2022, the new 408 faced a crowded compact sedan arena where the VW Jetta and Hyundai Elantra dominated. Yet Peugeot's raised stance and crossover-inspired design language gave it a distinct identity. The 1.2-litre turbocharged engine delivering 130 hp proved adequate for buyers seeking practical daily transport without the premium pricing of German rivals.
The 2023 model reached Irish and UK markets with left-hand-drive configuration, positioning itself between traditional saloons and compact estates. Buyers found a 1.2-turbo petrol unit good for 130 hp or a 1.5-diesel option, paired with an eight-speed automatic that appealed to fleet operators seeking fuel efficiency without sacrificing practicality.
Beneath the 2024 408's modern exterior sits a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 170 hp, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission that defines this generation's approach to efficiency without compromise. The powertrain carries forward Peugeot's commitment to downsizing while maintaining responsive mid-range torque, a balance that shaped buyer preference in
Against rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla that dominated Brazilian showrooms in 2017, Peugeot's Roland Garros editions carved out a different proposition: French styling and a sporting identity tied to tennis prestige. The 408 saloon and 308 hatchback shared the campaign, targeting buyers seeking something beyond the mainstream.
