Peugeot 407

The Peugeot 407 is a large family car in the D-segment that the French automaker Peugeot produced from 2004 to 2011, available in saloon, coupé and estate variants with petrol engines from 1.8 to 3.0 litres and diesel engines from 1.6 to 3.0 litres. It was launched on 27 May 2004 as the successor to the successful 406, with French sales from June 2004 and the rest of Europe a month later, and it was replaced by the 508 in April 2011. Its design was seen as radical, with a large front grille and steeply raked screen pillars, and the pre-facelift saloon has a drag coefficient of 0.29. The 407 SW estate followed in September 2004 and the coupé in July 2005. Annual sales peaked at 259,000 units in 2005, a minor facelift came in August 2008, one model offered AMVAR electronic suspension that adjusts each wheel damping, and the saloon and coupé earned five stars in Euro NCAP tests.
