Peugeot 408 - This car came out of NOWHERE?

Had my 308 GT premium 225 hybrid for a couple of months now and I think it’s an amazing car. This looks very similar throughout. I get on great with the low slung steering wheel. The car attracts serious attention wherever we go in the Olivine green. The new badge throws people.

I have the "boring" version of 308, the 2018 sw with a 1,6 BlueHDI diesel engine. But it's one heck of a car, extremely smooth on highways and lots of fun at the same time. German car manufacturers really need to get their stuff together, if they want to compete!

[@Nordmann61]

About the sterring wheel: It is made small so you can see the instrumentcluster over the steering wheel. So you can see the speedometer without taking the attention off the road ahead. Here is what you do: Adjust the height of the seat so high and the rake of the steeing wheel so low, so you can see the instruments over the steering wheel, simple as that, enjoy. Cheers.

[@benjimc1]

but then the wheel gets in the way of your knees. It's the main reason I went with a eC4 over a e-2008

If only it was that simple..this is a design flaw that just keeps rolling over..also on e2008.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I’m looking forward to your thoughts on the driving experience of the new 408. Interesting fact: in China, there is a sedan 408 (which looks quite good), so in China, this is called the 408X to differentiate the sedan 408 and the crossover version. And European versions, unlike the C5X, are made in Mulhouse in France. Chinese versions are made in Chengdu, the same plant where the C5X is made.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Yes I have seen that X mentioned a few times. I need to check it out 😊

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

@@AutoSocialUK I often focus on other car markets, not just Europe. And I heard the Peugeot 408 could be coming to Mexico. I know Peugeot sells their other three SUVs in Mexico (2008, 3008 and 5008). The 408 could join them in Mexico from next year. I think it’ll just be called the 408 in Mexico, cos they don’t get the 408 sedan there, but they do get the 301 sedan which is smaller.

[@DylansCarReviews]

Know what, it actually does look like a Urus! Very nice design. Stellantins definitely flexing their muscles.

The new 408 looks nice, I like a fast hatchback, the interiors looks cool too, I like how Peugeot are more innovative in this area compared to other manufactures but agree, some controls need to be physical.

[@anthonystevens8683]

Another top review Tish. Very well done as usual. The touch controls to climate may be a small issue for some but could seriously be a factor in choosing my next car. We have seen a number of new cars with touch only climate along with the calls to revert back to physical controls and it sounds like some manufacturers are staring to take note. As an average (but older) size person I'd have to test this car to see how the over steering wheel view is obstructed not only when on a straight road but round bends as well. Style wise Peugeot have done a fine job but I think I'd prefer standard style wheels. Once again a great balanced review Tish, thank you.

[@michals9929]

The touch screen climate control is not an issue at all. You just set it to auto and forget about it. Then you may change the selected temperature twice a year, that's it. The automatic thingy does a great job.

I don't get why this steering wheel is "controversial". You can adjust everything to your liking, and personally I like having a smaller steering wheel. It feels a bit more sporty, and it's easier to handle.

[@colinbreeze8758]

If you are over6 feet tall, there's no position other than sitting with the steering in your lap or peering over the top to see the dash. I say this as the owner of a new 3008, my only gripe as I love the GT and the 155hp of the amazing 1.2 litre engine. Spoilt by lack of more adjustability to the steering column.

[@sak1339]

Great looking car and sized for the US market, I think. I'm hoping the 220 HP hybrid comes here. The wheel design -- I'm not sure that. Interior is well-thought out and a nice departure from the Germans. I'm looking forward to your test drive review. (I have a soft spot for Peugeot; my late Dad owned these in South Africa years many ago. So I grew up with them.) Off topic: nice tan! Spain?

I watched so many reviews and its always about the same issue ! I had the 2008 and now own the new 3008 and it is not an issue at all, we as a couple both drive the car, my wife is 5ft3" and I am 6ft tall without having problems about the cockpit view. Driving the car three times from Belgium to Spain and back doing a 2500 mls per trip and going again in September. Before I always hired cars from different brands and have had issues especially with the smaller cars, who had a poor view on the meters, so why these journalists always tell the same fairy tale I do not understand? Maybe they look too much to eachothers interviews.
