Peugeot 408 e-THP
Peugeot is showcasing the Peugeot
408 e-THP at the Thai Motor Expo. The 408 e-THP
is now featured on the company’s Thai website and should be launched in a few
months.
The Peugeot 408 e-THP measures
4,750 mm in length, 1,820 mm in width and 1,488 mm in height, and has a
wheelbase of 2,730 mm. Essentially a sedan version of the Peugeot 308, the new
compact sedan packs the familiar 1.6-litre THP (Turbo High-Pressure) engine
under the hood.
The Euro V-compliant turbocharged
petrol engine churns out 165 hp at 6,000 rpm and 245 Nm of torque from 1,400
rpm, and sends drive via a 6-speed automatic transmission. With this
configuration, the 408 e-THP can reach from 0-100 km/h in 8.2 seconds
(approximately) and claim a (limited) top speed of 215 km/h. It has a fuel
economy rating of 15.38 km/l and a CO2 emission rating of 156 g/km.
The Peugeot 408
e-THP is available in six colours: Alpine White, Aluminium, Aster Grey, Premium
Black, Lucifer Red and Bourrasque Blue. Full-LED headlamps, 17-inch lightweight
alloy wheels, 9.7-inch HD multifunction touchscreen, dual-zone climate control
system controlled via touchscreen and 6-speaker sound system with Arkamys sound
staging are the highlights of the Peugeot 408 e-THP.
