New photos of Peugeot 408

The closer the premier of Peugeot 408, which will replace the model with an index of 407, the more new photos of the car there are in the French press. Today’s edition of L’Auto Journal has published its version of Peugeot 408. As usual in such cases, the journalists state that they have in their hands of “the real” photo of the serial vehicle, which will go into production in the second half of next year.

Apparently, Peugeot 408 will be slightly bigger than its predecessor, but the model will be based on the platform which was already used to built a new generation of Citroen C5. In addition, Peugeot 408 will share its engines with the C5, including the latest 3.0-liter diesel engine with dual turbo, which delivers 240 hp. Not so much the power of the engine, but its torque is impressive – even at 1400 rpm the engine will give 400 Nm torque, and with the entire 1600 rpm it will have on the maximum of 450 Nm torque.
