Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 is the first model to be launched in the Chinese market after the Peugeot brand’s renewal. It adopts Peugeot’s latest family design. Under the premise of striving to further meet the needs and preferences of Chinese consumers, it also perfectly interprets the brand’s core Allure – dynamic and fashionable French charm, and the brand value of "beauty, movement and texture".
New 408
Dongfeng Peugeot’s new 408 adheres to the design language of "Lion Soul Aesthetics", and strives to show the exquisite style of Peugeot’s sharp design through its dynamic and fashionable shape. In the front face of the roar of the vehicle, the gradual changes in the grid of the new 408 star-moving dot matrix show an orderly arrangement, which naturally locks people’s visual focus on the top of the new sharp shield-shaped lion logo. The iconic lion-eye LED headlights are located on both sides of the front of the car, and below are LED daytime running lights shaped like two tusks, effectively widening the visual width of the front part of the new 408 car. Upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that the flying wing shape under the front of the new 408 echoes the "X" shape of the headlights, thus once again strengthening the visual focus of the new lion logo. The new 408 has a smooth and dynamic side waist line, and with the cooperation of 17-inch diamond-cut aluminum alloy wheels, it shows a unique appeal that is good at stimulating the driver’s desire for control.

The center console adopts the concept of layered design, which divides the driver’s sight area and control area into two, providing the driver with a true driving experience of "hands on the wheel and eyes on the road". In addition, the center console surface also greatly expands the visual width of the vehicle interior through the misalignment of horizontal line elements. The unique small multi-function racing steering wheel has an outstanding texture. The new 408 series comes standard with a 12-inch LCD combination instrument panel and a 10-inch intelligent high definition touch screen. Thanks to the reasonable interior layout, the space perception of the cockpit can be improved; the storage space in the car is also scattered. It is worth mentioning that the Dongfeng Peugeot new 408 retains a quite metallic piano-like button under the central control area, and realizes the perfect fusion of classic and modern through 3D three-dimensional angular processing. The floating central control screen, the trend panel and the silver trim that runs through the left and right are both stylish and high-quality, cleverly interpreting the unique romantic tone of French cars. In particular, the misplaced combination of two matte chrome trim strips well outlines the outline of the instrument panel.
