Peugeot 407
Peugeot 407 (2004-2006)
The Peugeot 407 was a mid-sized cars of the 400 series of the French car manufacturer Peugeot. He joined in April 2004, the successor to the 406 series. The 407 shared the floor pan with the Citroën C5 and was produced in Rennes in Brittany. Distinctive features of this model were the relatively large-sized air intake in the front end and the far drawn back headlights.
The 407 is comparable with the VW Passat midsize vehicle. He was clearly in France at the forefront of this market segment and in Europe had a substantial volume of sales. The vehicle was on a total high technical standard (5 stars in NCAP crash test, particle filter, Cornering Brake Control, optional twin-turbo diesel engines with 200 hp).
In addition, there was from December 2005 a coupe that has not been made as the previous series at Pininfarina in Turin, but as the sedan in Rennes. Especially popular was the big Station Wagon, SW for short, which is now no longer - as usual with PSA - Break was called and visually sportier than the sedan is displayed. He could be ordered with an extra-large glass roof that can affect the interior brighter.
In December 2010, production of the sedan and wagon was discontinued. Successor has been since January 2011, the Peugeot 508 Production of the coupe ended in December 2011.

Versions ( Germany )
It was the 407 sedan, station wagon (SW) and Coupé in the following trim levels:
- Tendance (not as a coupe )
- Sport ( not as a coupe )

Engines
The diesel engines were all equipped as standard with a particulate filter FAP.
407 coupe
The coupé celebrated its official world premiere at the 61st IAA 2005 in Frankfurt am Main. As of December 2005, the coupe was available on the German market. The dimensions have grown with a length of 4.82 meters and 1.87 meters in width to those of its predecessor.
As of July 2009, the 407 Coupé was l HDI FAP only offered with two diesel engines than 2.0 with 120 kW and 3.0 l bi-turbo HDI with an output of 177 kW. The coupe was also the last remaining available 407 variant in the model range of Peugeot.
In December 2011, the production of the coupe was discontinued.

Facelift
The series received only slight optical, but probably major technical changes in the seven years of construction.
2006
In June 2006, the sedan and wagon received a minor facelift.
This was apparently barely be seen on renewed grille with chrome horizontal braces and a new wheel design. The highest trim level "Platinum" received painted bumpers and side moldings in body color. For all other trim levels these strips remained unpainted until the next revision.
Furthermore, followed by two new diesel engines ( a 2.2 - liter engine with 125 kW and a 2.7 -liter V6 twin-turbo with 150 kW).
2008
In September 2008 a further revision of the 407 series. These included externally especially new tail lights with white turn signals in the sedan and the station wagon tail lights with LEDs.
In the sedan, it is also a modified rear bumper with further downward offset number plate. Also, the combination gave a slightly modified rear apron. The reversing sensors were no longer attached, but flush with the rear bumper. All equipment lines were painted in the body color bumpers and side strips.
The equipment was supplemented by an optimized climate control, new telematics systems and parking assistance for the front.
Specifications
- Note: The amounts refer to the sedan and the coupe ( 3.0 HDi ).
The built- in 407 3.0-liter V6 engine ES9A brings compared to the 3.0 -liter engine used in the 406, a noticeable performance increase with it, which was achieved in particular by the following changes:
- Variable valve timing VVT camshaft adjustment
- New exhaust system with active two-stage muffler ( pneumatically controlled switchover valve ) improved noise performance under normal operating conditions ( flap closed)
- Improve performance under stress (with cover open )
The 163- hp diesel engine is combined as standard with the 407 and 407 sw with an automatic that has a significant increase in consumption ( values in parentheses) result.
The motor DW12BTED4 is equipped with a common rail injection system of the third generation, which provides a maximum pressure of 1800 bar.
Overboost is a means for rapid acceleration for a short time the charging pressure on the "normal" value is increased, thus enabling an increase in the maximum engine torque.
The DV6TED4 engine is the first diesel engine of the PSA Group with electric throttle unit ( heating of the intake air and recirculation of exhaust gases ).
Both the 1.6 HDi and the 2.0 HDi (136 bhp) are equipped with:
- Common Rail injection system of the second generation, provides a maximum pressure of 1600 bar.
- Turbocharger with variable geometry and electronic control
- Intercooler
- 2nd generation particulate filter
- Cylinder head with four valves per cylinder
The 2.7-liter V6 twin-turbo diesel was developed as a joint project with Ford. The unit has two turbochargers ( one per cylinder bank ) and was praised by the German press. It was also used in some Jaguar models and since 2006 also in the Peugeot 607 and the Citroen C6 and C5. This engine was further developed into the 3.0 HDi which replaced the 2.7 HDi from 2009, and also in the coupe version of the 407 was used.
The 2.0 HDi diesel was revised in late 2008 and now 103 kW instead of 100 kW, consumes an average of 5.7 instead of 5.9 liters and reaches the future Euro -5 emissions standard. For countries in which bioethanol is funded by the state, there is also a 2.0-liter gasoline engine, which can also be operated with E85. From 2009, the 135- hp version of the 2.0 HDi is only with 6- speed automatic offered as the new 2.0 HDi is initially available only with a 6- speed manual transmission.
Security
In the Euro NCAP crash test was the 407 five out of five stars. The occupants of the 407 sedan and SW are depending on equipment protected by up to nine airbags: driver airbag, passenger airbag, a knee airbag for the driver, two continuous curtain airbags left and right for the heads, two front side airbags, and two optional rear side airbags.
Successor
The Peugeot 508 has been available since March 2011, as a four-door notchback sedan and five-door station wagon with the additional designation SW in Germany and has served as the successor to both the 407 and also the 607 from. As body styles are a sedan and a station wagon in the offer, a new coupe within this model is not planned.
In China, the Peugeot 408 is also available upon request, in which there is a notchback variant of the 308.
