If you like your cars with a bit of technology, this Peugeot 408 Allure Plug-in Hybrid is going to be right up your street. Forget complicated buttons and gadgets you’ll never use , this one is packed with the stuff that actually makes day-to-day driving easier. Under the bonnet you’ve got Plug-in Hybrid power with a 7-speed e-DCS7 automatic gearbox, giving you the ability to drive on electric power for shorter journeys while still having petrol backup when you need to go further. Basically, electric when you fancy it, petrol when the sat-nav has got ambitious. Inside, the tech starts with the 10-inch HD touchscreen, featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, so your maps, music, messages and favourite apps are ready to go without the usual cable spaghetti. There’s also Bluetooth and Peugeot’s 10-inch digital driver display, keeping the important information directly in front of you. Parking is made considerably easier with the HD reversing camera and rear parking sensors. No more relying entirely on guesswork, mirrors and the person standing behind you waving their arms around. You also get keyless entry and start, so there’s no need to dig around your pockets every time you want to get in and go. Add cruise control, automatic lights and wipers, and the car takes care of plenty of the little jobs for you. And then there’s the big party trick: plug it in at home and make use of its electric driving capability for shorter journeys, potentially allowing many everyday trips to be completed without using the petrol engine at all. So, if you want a car that looks futuristic, drives like a proper automatic and comes loaded with modern technology, this 408 Allure PHEV ticks a lot of boxes. Come and see it at Peugeot Croydon — plug in, press start and let the car do the clever stuff.
