Well Hassan, here is the thing. The Peugeot 408 is a compact sedan produced by Peugeot which was unveiled on January 25, 2010. It went on sale in China on April 8, 2010. Despite its name, it is not the successor to the Peugeot 407, but rather a long-wheelbase saloon version of the Peugeot 308 hatchback. Here in Nigeria, Pan Nigeria is using the 408 to replace the 406 and not the 407. It is bigger than the 406 and more powerful and equipped compared to the 406. But does it really fit the M2 category as we had learned from the Pan team? Its until we drive it then we will be able to know which question this car answers- we are still to make more analyses.

We are not misguiding the public at all otherwise other newspaper like Business Day, Vanguard and even NTA would also be involved because we were there at the launch of the 408. Every thing about the 408 is so ‘308tisch’ from the pointy nose to the high roof line of an MPV.

Below is a time line for PSA Peugeot Citroën car. The time indicates only Peugeot brands for us to see where the 408 fits internationally. But in Nigeria, the 408 will fall into a much higher category as it will be for China and India. To satisfy you more, get to any dealer of Peugeot, vehicles and ask for the 408. Hassan am sure all these reference will help.
