As a reminder, the previously shared information regarding the PEUGEOT 408 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid is below.

With a Manufacturers List Price of $67,990², the PEUGEOT 408 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid offers Australians a standout combination of engineering excellence focused on efficiency, unmistakable style, unique allure, and cutting-edge technologies to enhance driving pleasure and intuitive use.

Kate Gillis, Managing Director PEUGEOT Australia, said: "The Peugeot 408 is an artful statement where sleek design intertwines seamlessly with intuitive technology. Its allure isn't just in its premium aesthetics; it is in its unique dynamism, innovation, and the continuation of our local electrification journey, setting a new standard for what's possible on the road ahead."

Alluring Design

The PEUGEOT 408 stands out first and foremost for its dynamic fastback silhouette and its unmistakable style, but also for the extent to which it breaks the mould. Its feline stance and fang-shaped light signature of the full LED matrix headlights perfectly integrates the 408 into the PEUGEOT family, as do the three-claw LED lights at the rear.

The Peugeot 408 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid features 20" Monolithe diamond cut alloy wheels; they are striking when stationary and create a dramatic visual effect in movement, with their unique design in keeping with the 408's original concept approach.

Particular attention has been paid to the aerodynamics of the new PEUGEOT 408 with the bumper, boot flap, diffuser, body pillars, mirrors, underbody screens, and more optimised thanks to close collaboration between PEUGEOT's stylists and aerodynamic engineers – a collaboration that echoes the work discipline set up by PEUGEOT's design and engineering teams while creating the 9X8 Hypercar. In the same vein, the rear of the roof optimises air flow, guided by two "cat ears", creating an optimal aerodynamic corridor towards the boot lid spoiler. These two features not only add to the vehicle's aerodynamic capability, but they're also distinctive elements of the new PEUGEOT 408's style.

The new PEUGEOT 408 colour range² includes:

The only option for the 408 GT Fastback Plug-in Hybrid is a sunroof, priced at $2,000.

Premium Ambiance and Elevated Technology

For both its driver and passengers, the PEUGEOT 408 offers the latest generation of the PEUGEOT i-CockpitTM, instantly recognisable by its compact steering wheel dedicated to driving pleasure and controlled agility.

In the cockpit, the emphasis is on quality and connectivity, with the very latest technologies to make the driving and travelling experience more intuitive and rewarding.

Located at eye level just above the steering wheel, the 10 "digital instrument cluster can be customised and personalised, and the central 10" touchscreen is slightly lower than the digital cluster, remaining faithful to the PEUGEOT i-CockpitTM principle of a 'driver-oriented' approach, which optimises driving ergonomics without excluding the passenger.

The entertainment system features fully configurable i-toggles which are arranged below the central screen like an open book and provide an aesthetic and level of technology unique in the segment. Each i-toggle is a touch-sensitive shortcut to climate settings, a phone contact, a radio station, or applications, set to the user's preference.

The touchscreen's infotainment capabilities include Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay® and Android AutoTM connectivity³ plus FM/DAB and 3D Satellite Navigation.

The ambient LED lighting, with 8 colours to choose from, located behind the central screen releases a soft light and contributes to the sophisticated atmosphere of the cabin.

The same light extends to the foamed door panels, which match the Nappa 'MISTRAL' full grain leather seat trim with "Tramontane" charcoal grey top stitch.

The driver's seat features an 8-way electronic adjustment, and the front passenger seat features a 6-way electronic adjustment; both feature lumbar adjustment. Both the driver & front passenger seats are heated and equipped with a multi-point massage function.
