Peugeot 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 rank in its segment?

Among the 9 compacts plug-in hybrid 2020–2024, the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 ranks 4th of 9 in Electric WLTP range (65 km, behind the Cupra Leon VZe), 3rd of 9 in Combined range (766 km, behind the Peugeot 308 Hybrid 180 e-EAT8), 4th of 7 in Thermal cons. estimated (5.7 L/100, behind the SEAT Leon e-Hybrid 245 6DSG), 7th of 9 in 0–100 km/h (7.5 s, behind the DS4 E-Tense 300 4WD).

What is the électrique range of the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8?

65 km WLTP announced - making it the 4th of 9 in Electric WLTP range out of 9 models. The reference is the Cupra Leon VZe (100 km).

How much does the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a Cupra Leon VZe instead?

The Cupra Leon VZe leads in Electric WLTP range (100 km vs 65 km). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 408 Hybrid 225 e-EAT8 vs Cupra Leon VZe duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
