The Spanish Levante has a hanging label as a result of the ‘tourist boom’ of the seventies. A time when it was allowed to build large concrete blocks on the beach and destroyed all the beauty of the coastline. In the province of Alicante we can find examples of all kinds, such as the case of Benidorm, a model of Cyclopean constructions that hide the sea. But there are also other corners that have managed to protect themselves, such as Denia, where the buildings on the beach of L’Almadrava, which do not exceed two floors, preserve the essence of the Mediterranean. To get closer to that haven, we opted for the new Peugeot 408, a stylized ‘fastback’ with plug-in hybrid technology that commands attention with its futuristic aesthetic. But beyond its lines, it impresses with its touring capabilities that make any trip, no matter how long, a pleasant ride. Its 224 hp thanks to the petrol engine and the help of the electric motor that offers a range of 63 kilometers in 100% electric mode, results in a limited consumption of 1.2 liters per 100 km as long as we circulate at a controlled speed. Thanks to its equipment and habitability, the 450 kilometers between Madrid and Denia pass quickly, despite being fully operational after Easter. So that you don’t miss anything on a multi-day trip, it has a large trunk of 536 liters, which can increase to 1,611 liters with the rear seats folded down.

Also striking in the interior finish are the aluminum details on the dashboard and door panels, but also in elements such as the sills and pedals. Technology is ubiquitous in the new 408 . It has the latest generation of the most advanced driver assistance, with 6 cameras and 9 radars. Its technological arsenal includes the adaptive cruise control with the “Stop & Go” function, the “night vision” system, which allows to detect the presence of pedestrians, cyclists or animals on the road before they are illuminated, the long-range blind spot control ( 75 m) and reversing warning, enabling maneuvering and reversing with the highest level of safety. Aesthetically, it introduces elements of the SUV universe, such as the large 720 mm wheels, which give a great sense of robustness, dressed with iconic 20-inch alloy wheels, unmistakable thanks to their disruptive geometric design. Some tires make people stop to look at them when the vehicle is parked. The front has a harmonious and sporty appearance, with a grille painted in body color and the presence of the Peugeot emblem on the front wings. At night, its light signature gives it a unique look, offering maximum brightness through its Full LED Matrix Beam headlights and its front LED fangs and its 3D LED taillights drawing the lion’s claws. Aside from the high-traffic freeway ride, we were able to test performance and driving responsiveness on short backcountry trips. When you leave the motorway and enter country roads, the feeling of grip and safety that the new Peugeot 408 exudes is complete. No matter what angle you look at in the most demanding corners, the design keeps the chassis glued to the ground like a barnacle for entry and exit with minimal roll. Moreover, acceleration ensures perfect reactions to a dangerous overtaking situation.
