The future of the fastback has arrived — and it’s electric. The striking PEUGEOT E-408 has just landed in Ireland, bringing bold design, cutting-edge tech, and zero-emissions driving to one of the most stylish silhouettes on the road. Here’s everything you need to know about this sleek new arrival.
1. A Fastback with Feline Attitude
The E-408 isn’t just another EV — it’s a statement. With its elevated stance, coupé-like roofline and signature “fang” LED lights up front, it looks every bit as dynamic as it promises to drive. At the rear, triple-claw LEDs seal the deal. Choose from five colours, including Obsession Blue and Elixir Red.
2. 100% Electric Power, Zero Compromise
Under the skin sits a 210hp electric motor and a 58kWh battery delivering up to 453 km range (WLTP). With 345Nm of instant torque.
3. Fast Charging Made Simple
An 11kW AC charger comes as standard, but plug into a 120kW DC fast charger and you’ll get:
-
20–80% charge in just over 30 minutes
-
100 km of range in just 10 minutes
4. Space Where It Matters
Despite its sleek lines, the E-408 is built for real life. Passengers get class-leading 183mm rear legroom, while the boot swallows 471 litres — expanding to a cavernous 1,545 litres with the seats folded.
5. The High-Tech i-Cockpit®
Step inside and you’re greeted by the latest PEUGEOT i-Cockpit® with its compact steering wheel, 10-inch digital instrument cluster, and 10-inch central touchscreen. Add PEUGEOT i-Connect® Advanced with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, voice control, and over-the-air updates, and it feels more smartphone than car.
6. Comfort and Luxury Touches
Think ergonomic seats, wireless phone charging, four USB-C ports, and ambient lighting. The MyPEUGEOT® app adds remote pre-conditioning, charging schedules and vehicle monitoring at your fingertips.
7. Safety You Can Count On
PEUGEOT packs the E-408 with top-class driver assistance tech, including:
-

Automatic Emergency Braking (day/night, detects cyclists & pedestrians)
