There are lots of reasons why you might be a little confused by what Peugeot's trying to do here. In terms of its sales niche, the E-408 sits above more compact hatch models (like its Vauxhall Astra Electric and Peugeot E-308 Stellantis cousins); but isn't quite big enough to compete with pricier but properly mid-sized EVs like the Tesla Model 3 and the Polestar 2. The brand sees it as a stepping stone between those two classes of car. If you're being less charitable, you might see it as neither one thing nor the other.
If that doesn't bother you and you're seduced by the swoopy styling (as you very well might be), the next thing to get over is the rather restricted drive range. Which is rather at odds with the fact that this car is most in its element on longer distance highway trips. With the E-3008's heavier long range battery fitted, this car would have been easier to recommend.
Still, we can see why you might want an E-408. The eye-catching exterior looks are matched by a charismatically-designed and very nicely-built cabin. And it feels sportier to drive than most of its segment contemporaries. You'll need to stretch beyond base trim to get that 'want one' factor here, but if you can, you might feel that there's nothing else in the class quite like it.
