Peugeot has unveiled its new 408, a fastback-style crossover with plug-in hybrid drivetrains; Singapore availability unconfirmed.PARIS, France — Peugeot has pulled the wraps off its new 408, a fastback-style crossover which the brand says will break the mould in the sedan segment.
Peugeot has previously used the 408 moniker on a series of China-only sedans, and the new fastback model will thus be dubbed 408X in that market, with China getting its own separate 408 sedan model. The sloping rear roofline is marked out by a pair of 'cat ears' on either side on top of the tailgate, which Peugeot says is a design element that is meant to optimise aerodynamic airflow.Inside, the 408 features the same distinctive Peugeot style that has been seen on the brand's models in recent times.
Peugeot i-Connect, the brand's infotainment system, has been upgraded for the 408. It now offers the ability for up to two phones to be connected via Bluetooth, and incorporates the "OK Peugeot" voice recognition command system.
