Renault has announced the UK launch of its latest addition to the SUV segment, the Peugeot 408 rivalling Rafale. Think of it as the brand’s flagship SUV, which is now available for orders in Britain with prices starting from £38,195 OTR.

At the heart of the Rafale lies a 200-PS E-Tech full hybrid powertrain, marrying efficiency with performance. Further enhancements are anticipated later this year with the introduction of the more powerful E-Tech 4x4 300-PS powertrain.

In the United Kingdom, the model’s lineup comprises three distinct versions. Kicking off the range is the Techno trim, boasting a suite of standard features including Sonic 20-inch black diamond-cut alloy wheels, LED lighting, and an array of driver assistance technologies.
