Peugeot 408 2021: an inexpensive, bright sedan with rich features.

The French company «Peugeot» has long been famous for its ability to produce beautiful and at the same time practical cars, convenient for a large family.

And since such cars are quite popular in many countries of the world, including Russia, the 2021 Peugeot 408 model came to the court. In addition, to stay on top, the brand has recently restyled this sedan, which has become even more stylish and acquired a set of additional comfort options.

The exterior of the new model looks solid and bright, thanks to the combination of well-recognized brand details and elements that reflect the current trends in automotive fashion.

A bonus to all this is a well-assembled, comfortable salon with a futuristic entertainment complex. The technical parameters of the novelty have also improved somewhat, thanks to which it has become even faster, more maneuverable and more economical.

Exterior

The appearance of the novelty can be safely included in its asset. The striking appearance of the new body fits perfectly into the corporate identity of the brand and is refreshed by completely unique solutions:

combinations of smooth and faceted relief, inserts painted with chrome paint, aggressive lighting equipment and air intakes, beautiful rims and other less noticeable but very interesting «things».

Judging by the photo, the front part of the car has the most interesting features. The driver’s seat offers an excellent overview of everything that happens in front of the car.

This is facilitated by the strongly inclined large windshield, as well as the small size of the muzzle itself and its low location.

The bonnet also tilts towards the road and has several smooth longitudinal transitions in height. Immediately in front of it is a huge trapezoidal air intake grille with a narrow chrome edging.

Its inner part is filled with a large mesh, painted in the same chrome, and also contains a huge brand badge.

To the right and left of the Peugeot 408 2021 air intake are large, angry triangles of front optics with excellent xenon lights. Moreover, the filling of the headlights will be available from the initial configuration.

Below, a massive body kit begins, separated from the elements located above by a narrow strip of the muzzle, on which there was a place for the registration plate.

On the body kit itself, it is worth highlighting several air intakes that turn into one another, the central of which, trapezoidal, is responsible for the access of air flows to the motor, and the side slots are designed to cool the front brake system.

They will also house areas for fog optics. Between all of this, you can find muscular aerodynamic transitions, and along the lower edge of the bumper there is also a decoration in the form of a chrome strip.

The side projection of the car looks more solid than pretentious. Under the rounded roof is a wide figure assembled from windows in a thin chrome edging.

There is a lot of chrome on the car’s profile: door handles, nameplates on the front fenders, as well as the back of the exterior mirrors are painted with it.

All this is complemented by bizarre combinations of stepped and undulating relief, resting against slightly widened wheel arches and slightly increased sills.

The sedan’s feed is already taking on a sporty look. It will be short, but set at a high altitude. Particularly eye-catching is the complex shaped parking lights, chrome plates with information about the car, as well as a modest, but rather catchy relief.

The body kit looks very large against the background of everything else, but there are not so many decorative elements on it: only smooth transitions in height. Among them are two modest foglights and twin exhaust pipes, accentuated by a chrome insert.

Interior

The low cost of the new Peugeot 408 2021 model year did not interfere with the high-quality interior of the car.

The saloon of the sedan will be able to boast of high-quality plastic and fabrics, genuine leather and metal inserts. All seats will be well profiled, and the entertainment system will not let you get bored on a long journey.

Front end decoration

The center console came out very modest. In a small space, there was a place for modest air ducts, a touch screen wedged between them, a dozen buttons for controlling the latter, as well as a block of keys for adjusting climate control.

Below the torpedo immediately passes into a tunnel, low and rather narrow. Here you can find only a technical panel, led by a gear selector, a start-stop button, not the largest cup holders, as well as an armrest.

The instrument panel is represented by «wells» familiar to fans of the brand, between which there is a miniature display of the on-board computer. The steering wheel was also slightly redesigned, slightly downsizing and adding buttons to the side spokes.

Five adults can comfortably travel in the car. Each passenger will sit in a very comfortable, soft seat with fabric or leather trim.

The front row will be additionally equipped with heating, electric position adjustment, side support and additional small «buns».

But for riders located in the back, only a folding armrest, headrests and, optionally, heating will be available.

As for the volume of the luggage compartment, its almost 500 liters make the sedan one of the leaders in its class, while these good indicators can be improved even further, as shown by a test drive.

Specifications

For the Peugeot 408 2021, 1.6-liter gasoline and diesel engines have been prepared, producing 116 or 114 horses, respectively.

In tandem with any of the power plants, a six-speed «automatic» or a five-speed mechanic can work. The drive will always be to the front wheels.

Such characteristics will allow the car to quickly pick up speed and perfectly cope with traffic situations in the city and on the highway.

In this case, the fuel consumption of the most «voracious» engine will not exceed seven liters of fuel in a mixed mode of operation.

Options and prices

All vehicle configurations can be expanded by purchasing additional packages. Thus, the price of an «empty» car will be about 1.15 million rubles, while the most charged versions will cost 250 thousand units of the Russian currency more.

Sales start in Russia

The issue of the release date in Russia of the novelty is no longer relevant, since the popular Frenchman has been going to the Kaluga car plant since the fourth quarter of 2020, and it can already be bought at car dealerships.

Competing models

The cars closest to the Peugeot 408 in terms of their parameters include Kia Optima, Hyundai Elantra, Skoda Octavia, as well as Toyota Corolla.
