Peugeot enjoys overwhelming sales success in China especially because of its peculiarly designed cars that cater to the needs of the Chinese customers. Keeping in mind those customers, Peugeot revealed the 2011 408 Sedan at the Beijing Motor Show.
The sedan that will go into production in Wuhan, China, is a long-wheelbase commuter based on the 308 and it offers more space to the passengers at the back. The Peugeot 408 is 4.63 meters long and it features a large sunroof and a self-contained trunk which ensures that the cabin is light and spacious. This long-wheelbase sedan is not to be confused with the future 508 model as that is suppose to replace the 407 and the 607 in the European markets next year. Peugeot is heavily banking on the interior spaciousness and the design to fetch a minimum of 100,000 unit sales in China.
