As Jeremy Clarcson once said, Peugeot was once a cool car company, doing cool car company stuff, then they decided to make dull cars for old people. For the last couple of years i see they decided to do cool cars once again. Well done Peugeot.
As a french guy i always found that french cars (recntly 2000 to 2015) looked not that good. But i have to say that with DS it was the start of our comeback ! Peugeot has stepped up its game since the new series. I can safely say that i could go for a french car by now which was something unimaginable previously in terms of design. However I still feel that the engine and motorisation needs a bit of work. These new looks are kind of sporty and aggressiv which is great but now we need to have better engine to fit with those amazing looking cars
I feel exactly the same way. Politics killed our sport cars industry. But even with that we managed to be pretty remarkable with the RS brand. It's a shame that we let these idiots comand our industry. Apparently electrical powers might help us to be more competitive power wise. The bummer is that we are the champions of luxury and excellence and our auto industry keep doing cheap/middle status type of cars... we could bring so much to the table, it's a shame.
Problem with Peugeot (or any french manufacturer really) is the reliability. Even with strict maintenance their engines have a *lot* of flaws and defects that can easily cost an arm and a leg. I myself have a 208 GTI with the infamous 1.6 THP 200bhp engine, and when you end up with a receipt of 5500 euros for a full upper engine change (so cylinder head and gasket) when the car is barely 80,000km and january 2014 old, it hurts.
@@HysteryProduction well, maybe because that engine was co-engineered with BMW. The 1.4 Hdi and 1.6 Hdi were quite reliable and economical, the current 1.5 Hdi has some problems with the adblue system, but that's something that the majority of cars have and the 1.2 puretech, after the belt redesign (2018 onwards) is quite reliable and punchy (it's noisy though). My family has 3 PSA cars with the 1.4 Hdi engine, my sister has 350k km on her c3, I've 208k on my c3 and my mother has 150k km in her 207. They're quite reliable, on mine I've to change the fuel valve in the next service, but considering my parents home is 150km from my current work (I'm a teacher in Portugal and we basically have to travel through the entire country) I put 300km in a single weekend, with the car packed with clothes and some food. My sister's car (she's also a teacher) is from 2002 and it's still going strong, the best part is the consumption (my mean is between 3.8 and 5.1, so it's quite frugal)
That car looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING in real life! Many people on here hate to have to admit that Peugeot makes brilliant cars so they have to resort to bash it for no reason. Pathetic. Fantastic car. Stunningly beautiful. Would happily own one. Was in France just 2 days ago, saw one and Good Lord that thing is impressively pretty.
Being a mechanic i will admit they look alright but give it 3 years and youll be visiting a shop chasing stupid random issues. Get in a crash = write off.
Mat, an advice for Peugeots, Citroens and Vauxhalls: they automatically lock after 30 seconds if you unlock them and don't open any door. So open a door and close again and it won't lock
Like most current cars, it relocks if you unlock but then don't open a door in order to prevent you accidentally opening it and walking away. MB are the same.
Most cars with keyless entry have the feature, including my 13 year old scion Xd (not so current) A lot of cars will auto lock once you walk a certain distance away from the car with the key
Damn that car seems to struggle with power even with that strongest engine, can you imagine what a torture is to run it with only 1.2 3 cilinder engine.
Waited for this like a long time ago!!! Finally!! The interior is a pinnacle just like they used to be back then 2017. Only thing is the name... Its more like an SUV so could name like 4008 or something
Yeah same here, kind of a disappointed of them transforming the 40x series to SUVs, I'm still hoping that they'll rename the second phase to 4008 and maybe lower this big ass car to make it a true 406 descendant (+ ditch the cheap plastics on the rear bumper and side skirts). I love the interior too, feels like a cockpit 🤩
@@deeprod2592 omg righttt!? I even criticized that on my insta! Having cheap plastics at the back I so hate it on our 5008!. And in this case it's massive amount.

@@samteks125 in all respect, I can't believe somebody can call new Peugeot design ugly/awful. They are the prettiest cars on sale today in my opinion (not including premium brands). Just a question. Do you think 308 is ugly? Cause I can see it kinda in this new 408.

Trivia: the brilliant water nozzles on the windscreen wipers were also mounted on the (c.) 1991 405 Mi16. Not a Peugeot addict and that was the only one I ever owned, but it was brilliant in many respects. Possibly better trained than the one under review here. Mine never attacked me. (I think it actually saved my life on two occasions on which driver input was, er, injudicious.)
I wanted this car because of great design, but only automatic put me down. So last month I went with brand new 2008 GT 6 gear manual and I am so happy with it.
Agree on the exterior styling completely, cool in parts but not quite it as a package. Interior looks mint, the infotainment with it's customization is clever, just add some physical knobs/buttons for climate and volume pleeeease.

I just have a quick idea - would you like to test out older cars sometimes? I mean many people shop for cars on the used market, I'm talking cars like around 2010 or so. Just an idea, keep the great work
Hi Matt, Just love these videos and keep up the good work I have watched this channel since covid and it brings so much joy 🎉 Again amazing video and I agree with all said in video 👍👍👍
i have a 408 GT, hybrid, 20.000km full option. The car is really a beauty and sooo confortable. It really is a pleasure to be behind the steeringwheel. the infotaiment is really smart and the updates are directly through wifi of the car. 52.000eur for a premium car!!
Okay. The infrared night vision is extremely helpful. Especially in the USA, where peoples block roads with nailed planks and wait with guns in the woods. Its a game changer.
On my Peugeot if you unlock it and don't open the door it's locking itself back after few seconds , I guess it's a safety measure in case you press by mistake unlock when you're leaving.
@@MrDgt66 I would say it's less , if I unlock it when I'm outside the house and I look back or something, by the time I get to the car is locking already , and I don't need 30 seconds to do this.
Cupra Formentor is pretty similar in styling with a few fewer weird bits, and for the same price is AWD 300hp - or the PHEV is £4k less with the same performance but AWD. Would be a good comparison I think.
310ps AWD cupra base model at 30k is hands down the better choice imo. Driven sensibly though they will only average about 35mpg. As you say though the PHEV version woukd match this for less money. I don't like the look of either car though and I'm a massive petrol head 🤣
in france, for the awd 300hp formentor u d have to add a massive malus taxe like 10k € on top of the price so u would go for the phev one and probably lose the 4wd i think.
@@vaudou74 thanks for adding that. We only pay biggwr taxes if the cars worth over a certain amount, I think 60k and vehicle tax based on engine displacement and C02 emissions.
@@leeandjancruise The engine and mechanics of it are sound cars. Just not fond of the shape or styling. I have a Cupra 290 Mapped to 380HP also in magnetic grey with copper accents. Also one hell of a car. Working my way up to an RS3 xD. But given the choice between The Peugot and yours, I'd pick yours all day long.
I really feel left aside hearing and seeing several testimonies from people on profits they make from Bitcoin/Forex Investment. Can someone recommend a good expert that trade on my behalf and generate profit for me..
I have had several people walk up to me when I got my Peugeot 2008 in 2021 and said it looked good, never happend before, not once. Now ofcourse it is not new model but it a testament that Peugeot make good looking cars in generall. I wish they would have had more power in petrol versions, then my next might again be a Peugeot.
I have a 2019 golf gtd and to be honest you can’t use the power and speed these days as the roads are to poor with the potholes and it’s got 19” wheels and hard suspension… I’m getting with the Citroen C5x or one of these GT in white
I love my 2008, Peugeot are crushing it - the reason it keeps locking at the start is if you've unlocked it, and it hasn't had the door opened and closed within 30 seconds, it'll autolock.
This car fits some. For me, I live SUVs but I like normal cars too. So a little height means so much when you live in a country that has mountain-like roads. You need clearence. 408 fits that.
@@huracan360 YOU KNOW NOTHING .peugeot has become premium by making some of the mocest cars with amazing and well built interiors that feel so upmarket.Every person who has sat in one claims that ,even mat says that they have better quality than a same priced audi.So stfu
Hi Matt, when are you going to do the review of the new Alfa Romeo Tonale...? I sat in it the other day and took a good look at the looks and was really impressed with it.
Peugeot has the biggest balls in terms of interior design in the entire automotive industry. You may not love it but you'd have to admit they are swinging for the fences.
Indeed the 208 GT is awesome little car. A friend if mine drove on a while ago. She let me have a spin it and I was amazed how agile and fun it was. And the tech was awesome. 3D dash, full option, lovely stitching and it looked amazing in the metallic red.

i just love the design of the back of this car, looks amazing, front is subjective, love it or hate it
Skip 2 doors and make it a fastback
@@kooppool4862 yeah, a fastback option would be very cool
Saw one in the flesh yesterday. Show stopper.
I think Peugeot is leading in Design at the moment in the industry together with Hyundai/Kia.
I don't know, but in the Netherlands it is ridiculously expensive, compared to a 308.
Or even 208.
Hi Matt,

£46k for a Peugeot. Audi Q3 sportback. Just saying 🤷🏽
This has better quality.
The peugeot looks much better in and out
i have a 408 GT, hybrid, 20.000km full option. The car is really a beauty and sooo confortable. It really is a pleasure to be behind the steeringwheel. the infotaiment is really smart and the updates are directly through wifi of the car. 52.000eur for a premium car!!
Damn, I like this car!
Definetly 408 out of 10
This car looks wicked! It's obvious Peugeot has woken up from the dungeon of lack of innovative design.
It Looks surprisingly good
Yeah very dezent
@@bernhardsonn7758 no it’s shite
Okay. The infrared night vision is extremely helpful. Especially in the USA, where peoples block roads with nailed planks and wait with guns in the woods. Its a game changer.
That avian flu shit was too funny 😁🤣😂
It’s interesting to me that Matt reviews cars and doesn’t realise that if you unlock a car and don’t open any doors … it locks itself again 😅
On my Peugeot if you unlock it and don't open the door it's locking itself back after few seconds , I guess it's a safety measure in case you press by mistake unlock when you're leaving.
in my opel meriva b was this function
Yes after 30 seconds.
@@MrDgt66 I would say it's less , if I unlock it when I'm outside the house and I look back or something, by the time I get to the car is locking already , and I don't need 30 seconds to do this.
@@tcm_tatra I see. In the user manual of my 5008 is "approx. 30 secs" written, it can be less of course. 🙂
@@MrDgt66 ok thanks. I don't know , I haven't readed the owner manual. 😅
I like the design. But it should have an AWD option and a more powerful powertrain option
Pse should come with that soon enough
Thumbs up for the integrated screens - BRAVO
New Peugeot badge looks like the Proton badge!
Cupra Formentor is pretty similar in styling with a few fewer weird bits, and for the same price is AWD 300hp - or the PHEV is £4k less with the same performance but AWD. Would be a good comparison I think.
310ps AWD cupra base model at 30k is hands down the better choice imo. Driven sensibly though they will only average about 35mpg.
As you say though the PHEV version woukd match this for less money. I don't like the look of either car though and I'm a massive petrol head 🤣
in france, for the awd 300hp formentor u d have to add a massive malus taxe like 10k € on top of the price so u would go for the phev one and probably lose the 4wd i think.
@@vaudou74 thanks for adding that. We only pay biggwr taxes if the cars worth over a certain amount, I think 60k and vehicle tax based on engine displacement and C02 emissions.
I have a Lamborghini Urus, well not quite it's a Cupra Formentor VZ2 310 in magnetic grey, one hell of a car.
@@leeandjancruise The engine and mechanics of it are sound cars. Just not fond of the shape or styling.
I have a Cupra 290 Mapped to 380HP also in magnetic grey with copper accents. Also one hell of a car. Working my way up to an RS3 xD.
But given the choice between The Peugot and yours, I'd pick yours all day long.
Shout out if you are only here because of the amazing lease deals on these in 2024 😂
I literally just seen on Autotrader a deal for £240 per month on one of these brand new and I was wondering whats up with them 😂
Peugeot have always had a very good reputation for the comfort of their seats, complete opposite of Vauxhall actually.
Why is Matt so obsessed with large wheels? They do nothing for performance, reduce ride comfort and tires are much more expensive. It's all looks.
It was nice to see my lovley village Deddington when i used to live 13 years!
I really feel left aside hearing and seeing several testimonies from people on profits they make from Bitcoin/Forex Investment. Can someone recommend a good expert that trade on my behalf and generate profit for me..
Who is this Mrs Letton Deb everyone is talking about and how do i contact her directly?
Thanks for the recommendation guys. I will be looking forward to earn from my first Investment with her.
"Crawling with clunge" a great quote from Jay there.
I have had several people walk up to me when I got my Peugeot 2008 in 2021 and said it looked good, never happend before, not once. Now ofcourse it is not new model but it a testament that Peugeot make good looking cars in generall. I wish they would have had more power in petrol versions, then my next might again be a Peugeot.
holy fuck @ 10.30 -- the accent and then the transition straight after to Mat in the back -- comedy gold 😂😂😂
Matt: Peugot came up with using the company logo as the sensor for assistance systems!
Mercedes Benz: Am I a joke to you?
Yes.
It's been a thing for ages though, various companies like Toyota have been doing it for years.
I have a 2019 golf gtd and to be honest you can’t use the power and speed these days as the roads are to poor with the potholes and it’s got 19” wheels and hard suspension… I’m getting with the Citroen C5x or one of these GT in white
I love my 2008, Peugeot are crushing it - the reason it keeps locking at the start is if you've unlocked it, and it hasn't had the door opened and closed within 30 seconds, it'll autolock.
Carwow Car Review Mat and Carwow Drag Race Mat are a different vibe 😂😂😂😂
A french snail Lambo with technical problems
Peugeot change her style so much last year
This car fits some. For me, I live SUVs but I like normal cars too. So a little height means so much when you live in a country that has mountain-like roads. You need clearence. 408 fits that.
£46,000 for a a Peugeot is complete madness
What means for a peugeot?they have became a premium brand for 7 years now .And their cars are best sellers and win tons of awards
@@pap_chr5063 Peugeot has only become "premium" by changing their logo
@@huracan360 YOU KNOW NOTHING .peugeot has become premium by making some of the mocest cars with amazing and well built interiors that feel so upmarket.Every person who has sat in one claims that ,even mat says that they have better quality than a same priced audi.So stfu
@@pap_chr5063 I've found number 1 Peugeot fan 😂
@@huracan360 I am not just speaking facts 💀
It looks really nice. I wish they would make a reasonably priced electric version.
Hi Matt, when are you going to do the review of the new Alfa Romeo Tonale...? I sat in it the other day and took a good look at the looks and was really impressed with it.
The front bumper of the 408 looks more like Darth Vader's grille than the rear bumper does!
i liked the scene of mat showing how to locate the isofix-ankerpoints
😬
Whats the point in plug in hybrid over self charging?
Looks good, shame with the terrible power it has. Looks like a 400-600 bhp car.
Her : Oh baby how did your learn to do this.
Me be like : 7:24
Started watching this channel, because it's available in german now. Binge watching all bloody english episodes as well. 😄
Hilarious! You are a great bossa Nova dancer!
Peugeot has the biggest balls in terms of interior design in the entire automotive industry. You may not love it but you'd have to admit they are swinging for the fences.
Most cars lock themselves if you unlock it and dont open the door within a certain amount of time. Would think you would know that.
Well said
I have the 2022 308 and after watching this have to say still happy with my choice, I'm getting the same mpg and performance with just the 1.2 petrol
As a 2022 208 GT Premium owner, I agree that Peugeot has stepped up their game by a huge margin.
Indeed the 208 GT is awesome little car. A friend if mine drove on a while ago. She let me have a spin it and I was amazed how agile and fun it was.
And the tech was awesome. 3D dash, full option, lovely stitching and it looked amazing in the metallic red.
