2025 Peugeot 408 Hybrid now $10,000 cheaper: Full Australian details

Peugeot Australia has released full details of its revised 2025 Peugeot 408 mid-size coupe-style SUV ahead of deliveries commencing in the first quarter of next year.

The big news is the single model line-up is now a cool $10k cheaper, but there's a catch to the 2025 Peugeot 408 GT Premium Fastback Hybrid’s new $57,990 (plus ORCs) price tag.

While the previous model offered a pure-electric driving range of 60km and punchy 164kW/320Nm outputs, the single 408 offering ditches plug-in hybrid power (PHEV) for a plugless 48-volt mild-hybrid system that uses a smaller 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine.

That explains why there's been a significant drop off in power, with the electrified 1.2-litre turbo only mustering 100kW/230Nm, although that figure can be boosted by a small e-motor that delivers 15.6kW and 51Nm for bursts of acceleration.

Sending drive through a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, Peugeot claims a combined average fuel consumption of 4.7L/100km (WLTP).

In addition to switching powertrains for the high-riding coupe-SUV, the French car-maker has introduced some revisions to the MY25 model, including a 360-degree camera and 10-speaker premium sound system, while a sunroof now comes standard (previously a $2000 option).

As standard, the 408 GT also rides on 19-inch alloy wheels and gets a 10-inch infotainment system.

Available in no-cost Okenite White paint, Peugeot Australia says the Artense Grey, Nera Black and Obsession Blue metallics cost an extra $690, while the special Elixir Red hue is priced at $1050.

For those missing the more-efficient-still 408 GT plug-in, Peugeot Australia has admitted in the past that it is still considering importing the E-408 GT that gets a 58.2kWh (useable) battery and combines a 157kW front e-motor with 453km range.

Unfortunately, the French brand has not provided any time indicating when the E-408 will land.
