2025 Peugeot E-408 GT im 1.000 km Test - Wie sparsam kann man ihn wirklich fahren?

The Peugeot e-408 is neither a classic SUV nor a pure coupe, and certainly not an ordinary compact sedan. With its sharp lines, squat silhouette, and distinctive fastback rear, it strives to be all of these things at once—making it one of the more striking models in the electric mid-size segment. At 4.69 meters long and 2.79 meters wheelbase, it appears stretched, yet at 1.49 meters high, it remains pleasantly flat. Its width, including mirrors, is a whopping 2.06 meters. It remains practical, however, with a trunk volume of 454 liters, which expands to 1,583 liters with the rear seat folded down. There's no frunk, but the loading sill is pleasantly low at 70 centimeters. In our test, the e-408 impressed with realistic and pleasingly efficient fuel consumption. Peugeot itself claims a combined fuel consumption of 15.1 to 15.3 kWh per 100 kilometers. In our practical test, we even managed to get below that. A clear advantage when it comes to everyday usability and cost control. Power is provided by an electric motor with 157 kW or 210 hp, fed by the familiar 58 kWh battery. With 345 Nm of torque, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds, topping out at 160 km/h. Peugeot states the WLTP range as 448 to 456 kilometers, with up to 587 kilometers possible in city traffic. The e-408 is available in the Allure and GT trim levels. The Allure starts at €46,700, while the GT is listed at €50,310. Those opting for the GT not only get the corresponding logo, but also front parking sensors, a sensor-controlled tailgate, modern LED matrix headlights, and Sport mode. The Elixir Red color on our test car is a special paint finish and costs €950 extra. In the interior, Peugeot, as usual, relies on the i-Cockpit, which can be optionally ordered with 3D Style (€1,100). Seats with massage functions (€1,500) and a premium package with an inductive charging cradle and Focal sound system (€1,000) round out the comfort offering. The detailed technology shows that Peugeot wants more than just to stand out visually. A pseudo-MacPherson axle with 365x37 mm brake discs is used at the front, and a multi-link suspension with 356x26 mm discs at the rear. The 225/55 R19 tires ensure a good blend of comfort and precision. When charging, the e-408 offers up to 11 kW from AC and 120 kW from DC charging stations. This means a full charge at a home wallbox takes a good five hours, while at a fast charger, the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in around 30 minutes. With an unladen weight of just under 1.9 tons, the French car is no lightweight, and its payload remains at 319 to 371 kilograms, depending on the equipment. There's no towing capacity, nose weight, or roof load. The car is clearly designed for passenger and lifestyle use. In our test of the new Peugeot e-408 Fastback, we not only examined its striking shape and sophisticated equipment, but also measured its fuel consumption – and it even came in below the official WLTP value. In the video, we show you all the details on dimensions, range, charging capacity, and convenience features. #peugeot #peugeote408gt #e408 Advertising: Electric Drive online: https://www.electricdrivemagazin.de You can find the magazine at kiosks or digitally on these platforms: Electric Drive on Readly, the reading flat rate: https://de.readly.com/electricdrive Electric Drive digitally on Zinio: https://www.zinio.com/de/electric-dri...
