The Peugeot 408 is a small family car produced by Peugeot. It was unveiled on January 25, 2010, at the Beijing Auto Show and sales began in China on April 8, 2010. In November 2010, production of the 408 commenced in El Palomar, Buenos Aires, Argentina, with sales starting in April 2011.
Despite its name, it is not the successor to the Peugeot 407, but rather a long-wheelbase saloon version of the Peugeot 308 hatchback, primarily targeted at emerging markets such as China.
The 408 is not slated for the Western European market, and not built there. Depending on where this car is produced, there are both internal and external differences. The front of the car is one of the visible changes, but also the low rear end is different. Indeed, in some markets, there are cars with the front of the South American version and the back of the Chinese version. Inside the vehicle, the most noticeable difference is seen at the door.
The 408 is available in China with either a 1.6 L and 2.0 L petrol four-cylinder engine. The 1.6 (TU5JP4) has a capacity of 1587 cc and produces 110 bhp (82 kW; 112 PS) at 5,750 r.p.m. and maximum torque of 147 N·m (108 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm. The 2.0 L(EW10A+) engine has a capacity of 1997 cc and produces 147 bhp (110 kW; 149 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 200 N·m (148 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm. Either engine can be specified with a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
In South America a 1.6 L diesel engine, known as a HDi (Allure,Feline/Griffe), is sold alongside the 2.0 L petrol engine (Allure, Feline/Griffe) and 1.6L THP petrol engine (Sport) with six-speed automatic transmission. The four-cylinder diesel has a capacity of 1560 cc and produces 143 bhp (107 kW; 145 PS) and torque of 240 N·m (177 lb·ft). The HDi has a top speed of 188 km/h (116.8 mph) and accelerates to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 12.4 seconds.
