- Stylish design; plush interior
- Well equipped GT model; efficient hybrid
- Only £215.38 a month
In a world of similarly shaped SUVs, the Peugeot 408 stands apart as a typically quirky, French crossover-cum-coupe – and it’s all the more appealing for it. The good news is this extrovert car is currently available for an equally extrovert price.
Through the Auto Express Buy A Car service, GB Vehicle Leasing is offering a GT hybrid petrol for a mere £215.38 right now.
This two-year deal requires £2,884.51 to be laid down first as an initial payment, while mileage is capped at 5,000 a year. Adjusting this upwards doesn’t break the bank, either, because 8,000 miles can be had for £232.25 a month with a £3,056.20 initial payment.
This deal is for the outgoing 408. Peugeot dusted off a refreshed version at last month’s Brussels Motor Show, but the original is still a head-turner – particularly in the GT trim of this car. The sharp-suited design is capped off with 19-inch diamond-cut alloys, full matrix-LED headlights, and LED rear lamps that animate when the car is unlocked.
The interior is packed with goodies, too, with features such as eight-colour ambient lighting, a heated steering wheel, a wireless phone charger, and lashings of lime green stitching (which is nicer than it sounds). In terms of tech, there’s a 3D digital instrument panel along with a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
The 408 feels plush from behind the wheel, with the cabin having a real upmarket feel. Headroom is a little reduced compared to a conventional SUV, but the benefit is a more stylish silhouette thanks to that sloping roofline.
Under the bonnet lies a 134bhp 1.2-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine. It’s a decent enough performer and is remarkably refined for a three-cylinder unit. This is a sharp car to drive, too, with great body control and high comfort levels.
