Eyeing the Peugeot 408? Stellantis Malaysia is currently holding a promotion in collaboration with Public Bank, allowing you to purchase the crossover “coupé” with interest rates as low as 0.83% per annum from now until April 30.
This exceedingly low rate is applicable to the mid-spec 408 Premium variant with a 90% loan and a 60-month (five-year) tenure. The interest rate for the range-topping 408 GT is slightly higher at 1.01% with the same financing conditions.
With this offer, you can expect significant savings once everything shakes out. Launched last April, the 408 is priced at RM166,055 for the Premium model and RM196,055 for the GT. Both models get a distinctive exterior design with full-LED claw-like lighting and a sloping fastback-style rear windscreen, along with snazzy two-tone alloy wheels – 18 inches in diameter for the Premium, 20s on the GT. The latter is also set apart through matrix LED lamps and a body-coloured grille.
The interior design is also pretty dramatic, featuring Peugeot’s trademark i-Cockpit concept with a ten-inch digital instrument display sitting above the small steering wheel, with another ten-inch infotainment touchscreen. The GT is unique in that it gets a fancy 3D-effect instrument display, a third touchscreen for the air-con, Nappa leather upholstery, a 360-degree camera system and a ten-speaker Focal Premium sound system. Autonomous emergency braking and adaptive cruise control are fitted to both variants.
All 408s are powered by a 1.6 litre PureTech turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, sending 218 PS and 300 Nm to the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
