The Peugeot 408 sits on the same platform as the 308, but is longer, with a slightly stretched wheelbase. As a result, Peugeot has been able to fit a bigger 58.2kWh battery pack, up from the 54kWh unit in the E-308.
The front-mounted e-motor has also been uprated to produce 210bhp, with a decent 345Nm of torque. However, these figures are produced only in Sport mode, and are reduced in the Normal and Eco settings to extend the range.
