Peugeot has unveiled the E-408, an electric version of its existing 408 fastback.
The new model is set to go on sale in November, with first UK deliveries due in early 2025.
It will compete with the Tesla Model 3, Polestar 2 and VW's ID 7.
A new electric powertrain is used for the E-408, combining a 210PS electric motor and a 58.2kWh battery.
The car has a WLTP range of 281 miles and supports rapid charging at up to 120kW.
Peugeot has retained the 408's exterior styling and interior design, making the E-408 almost indistinguishable from hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions.
The E-408 has the same 471-litre boot volume as plug-in hybrid 408 models.
Two specification levels will be available: Allure and GT. A heat pump will be standard, along with heated seats and a heated steering wheel.
