The Peugeot 408 e-THP was crowned the “Most Well-Specced Mid-size Car” at the inaugural CarSifu Editors’ Choice Awards 2016, thanks to its list of comprehensive features.
The 408 e-THP’s fuel efficient automatic stop-start technology, a powerful 1.6-litre twin scroll turbo high pressure (THP) engine with 167PS and 245Nm of torque, and an array of premium equipment and accessible RM143,888 on-the-road price were the factors that impressed the award judges.
The 408 e-THP now comes with five years of free service, inclusive of parts and labour.
Premium features include Smart Park Assist II, which is an automated parking manoeuvring system offering both parallel and perpendicular parking options.
Another unique addition is the Blind Spot Information System (BLISS), which warns the driver of the presence of another vehicle in the blind spot angle of their vehicle.
It has a large 565-litre boot too, the biggest in its class.
The 408 e-THP’s automatic stop-start feature helps to deliver fuel economy of 6.5 litres per 100km on the combined cycle, as it deactivates the engine when speed is below 20kph and restarts smoothly when the accelerator is pressed.
The engine is matched to a 6-speed automatic gearbox with Quickshift technology, for quicker gear changes.
The 408 e-THP has a sleek design and detailing, with LED headlamps with auto light functions, auto retractable side mirrors with LED indicators and LED tail lights.
It is fitted with 17-inch two-tone lightweight alloy wheels, premium black leather seats, High Fidelity Arkamys sound staging with 6 speakers, USB and Bluetooth, automatic electric parking brake, intelligent keyless entry with push start, integrated reverse camera, automatic dual zone climate control, and a 9.7-inch HD Multifunction Touchscreen, and electric lumbar and massage function in the driver seat.
