Peugeot has revealed the all-new 408. The French car maker says it blends the best of saloon, hatchback and SUV. Petrol, PHEV and EV powertrains will be offered.

Three powertrains will be offered from launch: two plug-in hybrids, which should match the 308 PHEV’s electric-only range of around 40 miles, and a 128bhp 1.2-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol. All are mated to an automatic gearbox. The petrol engine will be replaced with a mild-hybrid unit by the end of 2023 and an electric e-408 will follow, although a date for that isn’t yet confirmed.

“Customers might be compact hatchback owners who want more roominess but the same driving experience,” said 408 product manager Aurélie Bresson, “or compact SUV owners looking for a more distinctive car and a more dynamic driving experience, or larger saloon owners looking for modern lines while maintaining a longer car.No threat to the 508
