1 Answers
The 2016 Peugeot 408 has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, equipped with either a 1.2T or 1.6T turbocharged direct-injection engine. The 1.2T version delivers a maximum power of 100kW and a peak torque of 230N·m, paired with a 5-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The 1.6T model offers a maximum power of 123kW and a maximum torque of 230N·m, mated to a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Peugeot 408 2020 360THP 10th Anniversary Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 53 liters, and the Peugeot 408 2019 230THP Automatic Leading Edition (China VI) also features a 53-liter fuel tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated volume. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety limit. There is additional space between the safety limit and the tank opening, which is designed to allow for fuel expansion due to temperature increases without causing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates low fuel, while proximity to F signifies a sufficient fuel level.
