The Peugeot 408 debuted last year and should be on sale now in Europe. The high-ridding model sports a funky, fastback-looking design, blurring the line between car and crossover. It noticeably sits high off the ground, affecting how it handles, something km77.com examines with the moose test in the video above.
The 408 is available with a variety of powertrains. Peugeot offers it with two plug-in hybrid choices making either 150 or 180 horsepower depending on the tune. The automaker also offers the high-riding model with an entry-level 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that makes 130 horsepower and 168 pound-feet of torque, which is the engine powering the Peugeot in the video above. It sends the power to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
