What does Peugeot-407 have? Full car review

The French auto concern "Peugeot" has long been known to the world for its high-quality and reliable cars. Recently, companies often have to change the line of their machines. However, some of them remain real bestsellers for many years. One such model is Peugeot-407. Photo and review of this car - later in this article.

Dorestayling generation - design and interior

The model, which received the index 407, was presented to the public in the spring of 2004. The novelty was very successful, as it had a very attractive design and high dynamic characteristics. The exterior elegance of the car was successfully supplemented by an equally refined interior. According to the reviews, Peugeot-407 is one of those cars that can externally be able to interest even the most capricious motorist.

Also, the owners noted the high ergonomics and convenience of the interior details. But not only this novelty surprised the world. Sports lines of the cabin were perfectly complemented by a comfortable leather steering wheel, and soft plastic with high-tech equipment did not leave doubts about the prestige and solidity of this brand. By the way, the steering column was regulated by two indicators - altitude and reach.

Special attention was paid to the large multifunctional LCD display, which controlled the air conditioning and audio system. In addition, the on-board computer showed the exact time and temperature of the air "overboard". Already such a level of equipment from the French in 2004, no one expected.

Due to its impressive length the saloon had a lot of free space. It was so much that the small coupe accommodated up to two adult passengers in the rear seats. What is remarkable, the floor in the cabin was almost flat.

However, not only these moments mark the reviews. Peugeot-407 is famous for its capacious trunk. With its 407 liters of capacity, the car turned into such a small truck. By the way, unlike previous models, the 407 did not have wheel arches in the trunk, which allowed carrying the most non-standard cargoes. And if 400 liters was not enough, you could always increase the volume if you fold the rear row of seats.

Specifications

According to the reviews, Peugeot-407 is known as a car with one of the widest scales of engines. In total, the buyer could choose one of six units proposed by the manufacturer. Among them were as the most modest and economical engines (1.6-liter capacity of 106 horsepower), and sports installations (three-liter V6 capacity of 211 "horses").

Restyling

In 2008, the French decided to update the Peugeot-407. The owners' feedback indicates that the restyling version has changed not only externally, but also internally. But first things first.

So, the external appearance. The exterior of the car has changed dramatically for the better. Now the car has become more solid and sporty. Painted in the body color of the moldings, as well as the chrome grille, markedly changed the appearance of the Peugeot-407. The price for this car is almost unchanged. Depending on the equipment, the cost of the novelty was about 20-32 thousand euros. By the way, the changes have touched and dimensions - the novelty has slightly increased in length - by 15 millimeters.

The salon has undergone great changes. According to the reviews, Peugeot-407 inside became even more dynamic and elegant. Now it's definitely not confused with any budget sedan. The current restyling model is a sport sport car, equally solid and slightly aggressive. Inside there are new chrome elements, as well as a more exclusive finish of the center console. True, it is available only in top-end compartments of the coupe. In terms of various "bells and whistles" restyling Peugeot-407 (photo of this car can be seen a little lower) is able to compete with even the most well-known and famous competitors. Now the "Frenchman" boasts the presence of two parktronics, an automatic headlamp control system, a navigation system and more advanced acoustics.

Reviews about Peugeot-407 and technical specifications

Along with changes in appearance, the company made its own adjustments to the range of engines. Now the line of power units has replenished with five new turbodiesels and four gasoline units. However, now the Peugeot concern has focused not only on power and dynamic characteristics, but on environmental friendliness and moderate fuel consumption. So, the updated line of motors completely corresponds to the ecological standard "Euro-5", and the most economical 2-liter turbodiesel spends only 5.6 liters per "hundred". Also in the scale of the units there is a new 2-liter motor "Bioflex", which is capable of driving on bioethanol. But as the reviews say, Peugeot-407 on Russian roads was popular only with a gasoline engine. On diesel versions (like all other foreign cars with such engines), the fuel system was often clogged , which affected the cost of maintenance.

Conclusion

So, we found out what features the Peugeot-407 car has. Finally I want to note that, despite its considerable age, this machine is still good for those who primarily appreciate the speed and comfort of driving. However, every year more and more often it tried to oust other competitors from the world market, developing more and more new and perfect models of auto. So it happened - in 2010 the serial production of the 407th model stopped. Now the coupe can be purchased only in the secondary market.
