PEUGEOT E-408 REVIEW | HOW TO GET CHEAPER CHARGING IN THE UK!

EV Channels Review

The Peugeot E-408 is presented as a stylish and distinctive electric fastback, blending striking design with a focus on a refined driving experience. The reviewer praises its sharp, modern exterior styling and the unique, appealing interior design, noting the comfortable and interesting seats. However, criticisms include the continued use of gloss black plastics, the potentially awkward steering wheel position hindering dashboard visibility, and the manual seat adjustment at this price point. The driving dynamics are highlighted as a strong suit, with smooth, composed power delivery and stable handling, though the ride can be firm at lower speeds. Real-world range is estimated between 230-250 miles, with charging speeds being competitive but not class-leading. The reviewer also emphasizes the potential for significantly reduced charging costs through services like Be.EV. While acknowledging its premium feel and desirable character, the E-408 is considered not outstanding value, with some rivals offering more performance or range for less money. The reviewer concludes that the electric version refines the 408's concept, making it a more pleasant car to be in, despite some lingering concerns about Stellantis's charging figures and range on mid-range models.
