It certainly turned heads when driving and I had a lot of people comment on it.

Inside its driver ergonomics are excellent. The seats are especially comfortable. Both front seats are heated and ventilated, and the additional lumbar support is great.

It has clever features like wireless smart phone connectivity and charging. Panoramic opening glass sunroof and a premium 10 speaker sound system.

Im a huge fan of the small flat top and bottom steering wheel that sits below the 3D ICockpit instruments.

The engine is a 1.2L turbo hybrid petrol paired with a 6 speed dual clutch automatic transmission.

It has zippy performance that is enhanced by the raspy exhaust note. Also, economy is outstanding. I drove over 1000km in the week and averaged 5.7L/100K no matter how hard I pushed it.

The combination of responsive steering, sports mode and the raspy exhaust made the driving fun.

Of course, being a Peugeot everything has a premium feel about it.

I drive roughly 200 vehicles a year. Some stand out, some are very forgettable. However, I rarely instantly love a vehicle as much as the Peugeot 408 GT Hybrid.

Priced from under $58,000 plus the usual costs its outstanding value compared to its premium European competitors.
