Peugeot Ireland has announced the arrival of the E-408 and is now available to order nationwide.
The new E-408 is the fully-electric version of the 408 fastback that launched a couple of years ago. Priced from €38,995 or €43,995 (including grant and VRT rebate ), the Peugeot E-408 is available to order in Allure and GT trims, with first customer deliveries beginning shortly.
Both Allure and GT trims come with a 58kWh battery featuring a 210hp electric motor with 345Nm of torque, promising a range of up to 453km (WLTP ) and heat pump as standard. There is a 11kW AC onboard charger as standard and up to 120kW DC fast charging, which should mean a 20 to 80 per cent top up in just over 30 minutes.
The infotainment system features a trip planner with charging station integrated included. Regenerative braking is also a standard feature which can be adjusted via the paddles behind the steering wheel.
Inside, drivers enjoy the latest Peugeot i-Cockpit, featuring a compact steering wheel, 10-inch digital instrument panel and 10-inch central touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, wireless phone charging, four USB-C ports, ambient lighting and AGR-certified ergonomic front seats.
Rear passengers will benefit from the class-leading legroom of 183, while boot capacity is 471-litres, expanding to 1,545-litres with seats folded.
The new E-408 will be available in five colours - Okenite White, Obsession Blue, Selenium Grey, Elixir Red and Perla Nera Black.
The arrival of the E-408 means Peugeot now offers an all-electric version of each car it sells in Ireland.
