Peugeot's 407 Coupe offers sleek styling and some serious presence.
All the engines in the 407 coupe range are diesel. The entry-level unit is the 2.0-litre 136bhp unit found in other Peugeot models. Next up is the 1.6-litre 110bhp HDi unit. This slots below the 2.7-litre V6 diesel that’s been developed in conjunction with Ford, variants of which are found beneath the bonnets of Jaguar S-TYPEs and Land Rover Discoverys. In this guise, it develops a hefty 205bhp.
The cabin looks very Peugeot - which is possibly the weakest part of the 407 make up. It’s neat and everything seems to work very nicely but there isn’t a great deal of showroom ‘wow factor’ to it.
Peugeot have also developed an externally controlled compressor that uses atmospheric conditions to reduce the work the system has to do, thus reducing fuel consumption. A pollen filter also keeps summer trips bearable for those afflicted by hay fever.
The chassis itself incorporates not only the highest level of torsional rigidity ever seen on a Peugeot of this kind – as you might expect – but it also features a device known as an impactor that anchors the engine to the subframe and prevents it being shunted into the passenger cell in the event of a crash. Pedestrian protection is a major design criterion these days and the 407 features foam padded bumper bars and a bonnet that deforms to absorb shock, the top of the engine a good distance below that sweeping bonnet line. Up to nine air bags can be specified – twin fronts, side, curtain and steering column units offer optimum protection.
