The 2024 Peugeot 408 is out to redefine what a mid-size car can be. Is it an SUV? A coupe? A sedan? Or perhaps all three? Who's to say, but this new French supermodel is certainly out to make an impression – which is exactly what it should be doing as the enduring Lion brand continues to struggle to find new buyers in Australia.

Closely related to the similarly boundary-pushing Citroen C5 X, the first-generation 408 is exclusively available in a highly specified GT grade with a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, which combines a 1.6-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine with an electric motor for combined power and torque outputs of 165kW and 360Nm.

In this expert review, Emily Agar and her family of three spend a week living with the new 408 GT PHEV to find out just how well it stands out from the crowd in an increasingly competitive Australian market. Point being, does it do enough?
