Peugeot will take advantage of the Brussels Motor Show 2026 to unveil the new generation of the 408.
Contrary to what its name might suggest, this is not a new generation of the Peugeot 408, but rather a mid-life facelift of the model launched in 2022. A logical evolution aimed at extending the career of this Fastback sedan with its atypical positioning in the European market.
This facelift will primarily concern the exterior design. According to initial information from specialized media, the Peugeot 408 will adopt a revised front end, aligned with the latest style codes of the brand. A redesigned grille, modernized lighting signature, and reworked bumpers are expected, while the overall silhouette of the model, which defines its uniqueness, should be maintained. At the rear, more subtle evolutions are also anticipated.
A second breath for the 408?
From a technical standpoint, no revolution is expected. The EMP2 platform is being carried over, as is the range of multi-energy powertrains. The restyled 408 should continue to offer electrified petrol versions, plug-in hybrids, as well as the 100% electric Peugeot e-408, already marketed in certain markets. However, adjustments to equipment and driving assistance features may accompany this update.
Inside, the facelift should lead to targeted technological upgrades, particularly in terms of infotainment and digital interfaces of the Peugeot i-Cockpit, without questioning the existing architecture.
The presentation of the restyled 408 is part of a broader presence of Peugeot at the Brussels Motor Show, where the brand will showcase its entire range, from passenger vehicles to utility vehicles via Pro One. The Belgian public will also be able to discover the new e-208 GTi, symbolizing Peugeot’s sporty electric shift.
