The Peugeot 407 is a D-segment passenger car that debuted in 2004 at the Geneva Motor Show, succeeding the popular Peugeot 406. It is available in three body styles: saloon, estate, and sporty coupé. One of the standout features of the 407 is its distinctive design, characterized by a flat, protruding front end and a bonnet with large air intakes, giving it a dynamic and aggressive silhouette reminiscent of sports cars.
The Peugeot 407 offers a wide range of engines, including advanced HDi diesel units with Common Rail direct injection, which contribute to lower fuel consumption and improved efficiency. Safety is a key focus in this French model, which comes equipped with up to seven airbags, including a unique knee airbag for the driver in the event of a frontal collision. Standard safety features also include ABS with electronic brakeforce distribution and a non-deactivatable ESP system.
Passenger comfort is enhanced with features such as dual-zone climate control, electric windows, and automatically heated side mirrors. A notable innovation in the 407 is its multiplex electrical system, which allows for easy upgrades by simply adding the appropriate sensors. This makes optional features like cruise control or parking sensors more affordable compared to competitors.
