We’ve seen spyshots of the Peugeot 408 before, with black tapes on the edges of the lamps and badges covered up. Now, here’s a fully naked rear shot of the upcoming C-segment sedan from Nasim, courtesy of reader Scott Ng. The snapper says he saw a truck loading up the Peugeots in Damansara Heights.
With this uncovered shot, we can confirm that the new sedan will be called 408 Turbo, as said on the badge. We also see the rear lamps for the first time, and they have the style of those on elder brother 508. Like that RM170k D-segment car, the central Lion badge has ‘Peugeot’ underlining it.
Garnishing includes a rear spoiler and a wrap around chrome strip on the bumper. The wheels are the same as those seen on the previously spied dark coloured unit. Click here to read more about the 408, and why it isn’t just a 308 hatchback with a boot.

reminds me of old proton putra rear light… overall it seems that the light does not fit the rear end
It just needs to be a few inches higher.. Guess they din realized that.
wow peugeot really capable of creating weird ugly looking passenger car these days…very impressive!!
I just wandering the front resemble 308 or 508 ??? or the new 208…..
it is based on 307/308, with a boot and extended wheelbase to compete with the civic, sylhphy, inspira and the likes…
looks like “alien workshop” punya muka.
old skool brand yaw! hahaha..hurmm…same rear as 508. so whats going to happen to my fav 308 turbo? any discount? hehehehe
Got 10k off or low interest 1.88% + 3 years or 60000km free service.
yes..call me 0124641552
Look like Peugeot still do a proper Hatchback to Sedan Conversion.
imo, not proper but close enough.
go line go..
estimated price?
ugly tail light…
hi guys, today I read one of the email from a bankers’ daily report that “in two months time there might be a change in auto policy for the 1.8L segment”. Any word in the local paper? I’m out of the country for the moment. Thanks. sorry for the off topic.
cheaper r/tax for 1.8… promote inspira sales
Why no cheaper for 2.0 tooooo… Iskkk…iskkkk.sikkkk… :,(
here the link http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/20120220001411/Article/index_html#ixzz1mt0773Uh
keep our finger cross. not so clear what the future policy would look like
Wing mirror is not the same as the china version.
IT SURE LOOKS BETTER THAN ANY P1 N P2 MODELS OUT THERE…PERFORMANCE WISE I HOPE THE TURBO ENGINE WILL SUCK UP ALL THE P1 N P2 ‘FEEL GOOD’ CARS….NASIM, PLEASE PRICE IT RIGHT…I WANNA OWN A PUG TOOOOOO!!!
PUG Turbo is famous for fuel guzzling.
any other turbo-based cars also famously consume lots of fuel.
so what’s your point?
E.g. vw’s tsi engines are not fuel guzzlers
camparing 1.4 with 1.6… Not fair… What’s wrong with you people??? Always like that…. Campare persona to myvi, livina and alza???
All VW turbos are very frugal, even Mazda Mps has a very frugal turbo engine.
Compare to VW TSI, Ford 1.6 Ecoboost. Then stfu. This is the point.
you should have made comparisons earlier to avoid any misinterpretations, j@ck@ss.
don’t you just love it when a stoopid fish takes the bait?
Funny that it must come down to personal insults. That shows your class. Kudos.
the insult started from your end.
i was amused when you asked me to stfu as part of your answer of a simple question.
fyi, stfu is generally known to be an insulting remark.
trolling for the class route now, are we?
cheers
very subtle look. suitable for all ages.
Yup. Looks pretty subtle yet classy. Wonder how the 163 horse feel.
I dont think the rear lamps are similar to that of 508. 508 and the new 308 Sedan have almost same rear lamps design, those on 408 are more similar to 207 Sedan’s but a tad uglier.
Somehow I prefer 308 Sedan to this.
hmmm…. Im not convinced about the proportions
its tail lamp..hell ugly..
i prefer 408 covered with black tapes..

Yeah its like Lady Gaga. Better with the war paint on and more padding to cover the less endowed places. You know what I mean?
For this segment, this is a good looking car – simple yet stylish.
looks nice in this colour too
a few suggestions said that the price will be higher than 308 turbo i.e. >RM119K.
but so far, there’s little info on that.
perhaps due to not-so-much hype / attention given to it.
anyway, with all these pictures popping around the Net, the launching must be near. we’ll know the price by then. no hurry.
We all know where this is going to lead and it’s gonna get real messy. Dude, put the bloody tape back on!
Do we need to talk in sign language for them to understand. Yeah them property developers who think they have every right to bastardize a Pug. Yeah those looney expats will learn what all expats have learned; those who suck your bawls aint worth paying attention to! You’d think that if they stayed in the same community that they’d actually talk to one another and share experiences?
This = bad. Prince engine + 407 chassis = good. Prince engine + 407 coupe = hell yeah!
Look rather small in size.
see it in real life. it really is very big.
Is it just me? Actually I quite like the design of the this rear
Not just you TY, it does look pretty executive and fits its purpose quite well.
I like it too….
the back light look better than what offered at China…. maybe just me.
good to know it have turbo….not a normal 2.0L
But, they may have both here?
408 lebih cantik dari 207 sedan !! finally nasim has learned a lesson never to simply add a bonnet to a hatchback.
they’re both different cars and design has nothing to do with nasim. design is from peugeot instead.
