Overview
The Peugeot 408 is a C-segment sedan with a fastback body, built in Malaysia and sold with a 1.6-litre turbo petrol engine, eight-speed automatic and front-wheel drive. It suits buyers who want a five-seat petrol sedan with 215 hp rather than an EV. Prices start from RM146,055.
408 in 2026 — what's new
For 2026, Peugeot has debuted a facelifted 408 with 1.6-litre plug-in hybrid and 1.2-litre three-cylinder hybrid powertrains, plus the e-408 EV rated at 456 km WLTP. Malaysia’s 408, launched in 2024, is locally assembled at the Stellantis Gurun plant, which also exports cars to Taiwan, Thailand and Cambodia. The established Malaysian range comprises the Allure, Premium and GT, all with the 1.6-litre turbo petrol drivetrain.

Which variant to buy
Choose the Allure at RM146,055 unless the Premium at RM166,055 or GT at RM196,055 has equipment you specifically want. All three use the same 1,598 cc, 215 hp petrol engine, automatic transmission, front-wheel drive and five-seat layout, so the RM20,000 step from Allure to Premium and RM30,000 from Premium to GT brings no stated mechanical gain. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than powertrain; check each equipment list before spending more.

Peugeot 408 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The 408 takes an unusual route in the C-segment sedan class, pairing its fastback body with a 218 PS, 300 Nm 1.6-litre turbo and eight-speed automatic. Its three variants do not alter the drivetrain, so moving up the range needs to be justified by trim and equipment. The Allure starts just above the Toyota Corolla’s RM144,800 entry price and above the Honda Civic’s RM133,900 starting point.
