Peugeot Unveils the New 408 Hybrid in Casablanca: A Bold Statement for Moroccan Roads

At the iconic Cathédrale Sacré-Cœur in Casablanca, Peugeot unveiled the highly anticipated 408 Hybrid in Morocco, setting the stage for a new era of style, innovation, and efficiency. The launch was attended by Yves Peyrot Des Gachons, General Director of Stellantis Maroc, along with key brand representatives, marking a milestone moment for the lion brand in the Kingdom.

Efficient Hybrid Powertrain

Under the hood, the 408 Hybrid features a 145-horsepower hybrid engine paired with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission. Designed for urban efficiency, it enables electric driving for over 50% of city journeys without requiring external charging. The intelligent system automatically recharges the battery during deceleration phases. With a combined fuel consumption of just 5.1 to 5.2 L/100 km and CO₂ emissions between 115 and 117 g/km, it offers eco-conscious performance without compromise.

A Tech-Forward, Comfort-Oriented Interior

Step inside, and the 408 Hybrid unveils the signature Peugeot i-Cockpit®, featuring a customizable 10-inch HD digital display and a central 10-inch touchscreen. Connectivity is seamless, with wireless Mirror Screen supporting Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto™, plus Bluetooth® that can handle two phones simultaneously. The dynamic seats, upholstered in a refined blend of synthetic leather and Falgo fabric, provide both comfort and support. Dual-zone automatic climate control and selectable driving modes (Eco, Normal, Sport) further enhance the onboard experience.

Advanced Safety and Driving Assistance

The 408 Hybrid comes equipped with a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems. Highlights include extended traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning, automatic high beam control, a rear-view camera (VisioPark 1), and rear parking assistance. Safety Plus and Drive Assist packs introduce features like automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, offering peace of mind on every journey.

Generous Space and Practicality

Measuring 4.69 m in length, 1.86 m in width, and 1.48 m in height, the Peugeot 408 offers a generous and welcoming cabin. Its 2.79 m wheelbase ensures rear passengers enjoy ample legroom, while the boot provides 475 liters of capacity in hybrid models—perfect for meeting everyday needs.

With its striking design and intelligent engineering, the Peugeot 408 Hybrid is more than a car; it’s a sophisticated companion for modern life.
