Peugeot’s hotly anticipated (we haven’t checked this), newly facelifted E-408 has gone on sale and we’ve been given the revised price list to prove it. 

The new E-408 now starts from £32,695 on the road, including a £1,500 discount courtesy of His Majesty’s government and the electric car grant, which the car has now qualified for. That price makes the car over £4k cheaper than the PHEV version and only £700 more expensive than the petrol version. 

There are various changes other the car (like the light-up grille), but the thing we particularly like about the updated E-408 is the new shade of Flare Green metallic paint that comes as standard on all models. Certainly makes a change to the usual dull greys and blacks. 

There are three trims available on the Peugeot spec list – Allure, GT and GT Premium – the mid-range GT car comes in at £35,095 and the range topper will cost you £37,595 after the electric car grant. 

All models of E-408 come with keyless go, rear parking sensors and camera, adaptive cruise control, dual zone aircon, four USB-C sockets, plus heated front seats and steering wheel. 

GT models upgrade to LED headlights, fancier interior trim, an electric tailgate and front parking sensors, while the GT Premium cars add a heat pump, fancier electrically adjustable front seats, 360-degree parking cameras and an improved sound system. 

The lower E-408 trims might not get that heat pump (though you can add one as an optional extra), but they do benefit from battery preconditioning, V2L and regen with steering wheel paddles. The E-408 comes with a 58kWh usable battery capacity for a WLTP range of 283 miles.
