Who they are

A short write-up on each car, one paragraph apiece. We describe them on their own terms rather than picking a winner.

Profile · I (P54, 2022+, Hybrid 225 e-EAT8)

Peugeot 408

Crossover fastback on the EMP2 platform, technically related to the 308. The Hybrid 225 is a plug-in hybrid with a 12.4 kWh pack and about 64 km WLTP electric range (manufacturer figure, indicative). The WLTP consumption of around 1.2 l/100km applies only with a full battery; with an empty battery the 408 drives as a 1.6 turbo petrol carrying battery weight, closer to 6.4 l/100km. Indicative starting price, check the official configurator.

Profile · II facelift (R83, 2023+, Hybrid 180 e-EAT8)

Peugeot 508

D-segment fastback and station wagon (SW) on the EMP2 platform; since the 2023 facelift only available as plug-in hybrid in many EU markets. The Hybrid 180 combines a 1.6 turbo with an electric motor and a 12.4 kWh pack, good for about 56 km WLTP electric (manufacturer figure, indicative). Indicative starting price, check the official configurator and the available body style per market.
