Peugeot 407
The Peugeot 407 is a large family car (D-segment) produced by the French automaker Peugeot from 2004 to 2011. It was available in saloon, coupé and estate variants, with both diesel and petrol engines. The petrol engines range from 1.8 to 3.0 litres displacement, whereas the diesel engines range from 1.6 to 3.0 litres.
In France, sales commenced in June 2004, with sales in the rest of Europe commencing the following month. According to the website of the European Car of the Year, the 407 was one of the nominees for the award in 2005.
The 407 was introduced in June 2004 as a replacement to the Peugeot 406 and was replaced in April 2011 by the Peugeot 508. The last Peugeot 407 was produced on 5 July 2011, with the coupé model remaining in production until December 2011.
The 407 was the successor to the hugely successful Peugeot 406, and was launched in The Sunday Times Motorshow Live on 27 May 2004. The streamlined design of the car was seen as radical by magazines, such as Autocar, its most distinctive features being its large front grille, and the steeply raked screen pillars.
Autocar also published undisguised spy photos on three occasions throughout 2003, and commented that the rear window line of the saloon had "the similar feel to the short wheelbase of the Ferrari 250." The car was first announced and presented to the press in Paris in February 2004. There Groupe PSA (then known as PSA Peugeot Citroën) invested €1.12 billion in launching the car.
The estate, the Peugeot 407 SW, was launched four months after the saloon event, in September 2004. The coupé was launched in July 2005, having been presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005. It went on sale in January 2006. The annual sales of the Peugeot 407 peaked at 259,000 units in 2005, with 57,000 sales outside Europe. The coupé production ended in March 2012.
The models were given a minor facelift in August 2008, resulting in most petrol engine models being withdrawn from sale in the United Kingdom and other European countries. One model was available with AMVAR (AMortissement VARiable, 'variable shock absorption') electronic suspension that controls each wheel's damping independently, adapting the hardness of the ride every 2.5 milliseconds to suit the driving style.
The 407, both in sedan and coupé versions, received 5 out of 5 stars in EuroNCAP tests.
