Evolutionary styling, added technology

Our spy photographers have managed to get the first "on the road" pictures of Peugeot's 2011 408 sedan.

While the pictures don't provide many details, the 407 replacement is expected to adopt evolutionary styling tweaks to make it more contemporary and less awkward. Despite the new images, our best glimpse of the sedan still comes from earlier spy photos taken in a garage.

Riding on the same platform that underpins the Citroen C5, the Peugeot 408 should be slightly larger than the outgoing 407. As usual, a wide variety of petrol and diesel engines will be offered. A diesel-electric hybrid will eventually join the lineup, but information remains scarce.

In terms of technology, the 408 will likely feature a hydropneumatic suspension, adaptive headlights, and an available head-up display.

I hope that they make a coupe version - maybe they'll be like most manufacturers these days and make a 4 door coupe.

It already looks better than the 407, even with the disguise - in fact EVERY 407 should have a plastic bag over its vile form.

She seems to have wider roomspace compared with current 407 Sedan. If so,it would return to Peugeot's very asset of combination between elegant design and practicality. Among her expected engines,I'm attracted at 3.0 V6 turbodiesel and 1.6 direct-injection turbo gasoline unit. I do anticipate the new Peugeot's mid-sizer do well against the likes of VW Passat,Opel Insignia,and Audi A4 in European premium midsize segment(D-segment)!
