The proportions for bookings split between variants were 60% for the GT, 22% for the Premium and 18% for the bottom Allure, based on Peugeot Malaysia, which it says is “testament to the market demand and recognition of the automotive”. Launched last month, the 2024 Peugeot 408 began from RM146,055 for the Allure, ranging as much as RM166,055 and RM196,055 for the Premium and GT variants, respectively.
“Today marks the start line within the Peugeot 408 story as we start delivering customer orders.

We’re also pleased to rejoice our first 10 owners and we welcome them and future 408 owners to the Peugeot family,” said Stellantis Malaysia managing director Jamie Francis Morais.
From launch, all three variants of the 2024 Peugeot 408 are powered by the firm’s 1.6 litre PureTech turbocharged inline-four cylinder petrol engine that outputs 218 PS at 5,750 rpm and 300 Nm of torque at 2,000 rpm; outputs that are sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The GT variant is identified externally by its Monolithe black alloy wheel design, automatic matrix LED headlamps and 3D ‘claw effect’ LED back lights, together with its front grille finished in body color.
Interior equipment for the 408 begins with vinyl trim for the bottom Allure, while the Premium gets leather upholstery, and the GT cabin gets Nappa leather, which also gets driver’s seat memory and massage functions (all three variants get electric adjustment for the motive force’s seat).
