Peugeot to unveil 408 'global car' this June

MANILA: Peugeot announced that it will unveil a "global car" called the 408 at the end of June. 

The French carmaker describes the 408 as combining "the characteristic codes of SUVs with a dynamic fastback silhouette." 

The 408 is a nameplate used in a compact sedan that is sold in China and other Southern American markets. The 408 does not seem to be related to the 407 midsize sedan once sold in European markets.  

"Both in terms of design and engineering, the search for high efficiency and the desire to offer new experiences were at the heart of the development of the new Peugeot 408," Peugeot added in a release.

"Aimed at those for whom the automobile is a pleasure, the 408 brings an unprecedented allure to the Peugeot family."
