Comfort
Step inside the 407 and you'll see that every detail has been carefully planned and considered, from the quality of the fabrics and materials to the finish of the centre console. With all of the controls you need at your fingertips, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Leather trim
The plush, comfortable seats have been ergonomically designed to ensure everyone enjoys a first class ride. Long seat cushions and a wide range of settings set a new standard in comfort. For added luxury, SV models benefit from leather trim (optional on ST), along with electric and heated front seats.
Cruise control + speed limiter
The cruise control function is a handy feature not just for long freeway journeys, but to keep you safe around town. It incorporates a clever speed limiter function to prevent you from exceeding a preset speed limit. All functions are intuatively accessed from a steering column mounted stalk.
Dual-zone climate control
To ensure everyone enjoys maximum comfort, the dual zone climate control allows you and your front passenger to adjust the temperature and air flow independently. Connected to a solar radiation sensor, the system also helps mitigate the effects of moving between bright sunlight and darkened areas such as tunnels. SR models are fitted with single zone climate control.
Rear sunblinds
For the added comfort of those in the rear, SV models have roll-up sunblinds in the side doors and a retracting blind on the rear window to divert the sun's rays.
Dashboard
Sit in the driver's seat and you'll soon notice that everything you need is right in front of you. The dash is the nerve centre of the 407 and houses all the chrome-edged dials, buttons and switches that sit seamlessly on stylish materials including the new 'piano black' on selected models.
Technology
The 407 is teeming with the latest technology designed to make your life easier and to enhance your driving experience. A long list of standard features ensures that every drive in a 407 will be a pleasure.
Tyre pressure sensors
Under-inflated tyres are a well-known cause for accidents. To protect you, the 407 is equipped with tyre pressure sensors. The principle is simple: each wheel has a sensor which regularly measures variations in the pressure and temperature of the tyre. It detects any anomalies and alerts you straight away.
Multimedia
The optional RT4 multimedia system gives voice to your 407: it is equipped with a 30GB hard disk, an MP3 compatible CD reader, a hands-free GSM telephone, a GPS satellite navigation system, a 10GB audio Jukebox function, an emergency call service and localised roadside assistance. All the functions of the RT4 can be accessed using a 3D 16/9 colour screen, as well as controls on the steering column stalk and voice recognition. (access to these services requires an operational SIM card with PIN number entered, placed in the RT4) Not available on SR models.
Electronic parking assistance
Incorporated into the front and rear bumpers of the 407 (ST and SV) are sensors which measure the proximity of the car to other objects when parking. A series of audio and visual signals, which progressively increase in frequency, help you to judge distances in all parking situations.
Electric folding door mirrors
The 407 thinks of everything. To help avoid unwanted knocks and scrapes to your mirrors when the car is parked, the 407's mirrors automatically fold in when you lock the vehicle (ST and SV).
Xenon headlights
The Xenon headlights fitted to the 407 SV give off a brighter, whiter light twice the intensity of a standard halogen globe. Producing a much wider beam, they use less power and last longer, reduce eye fatigue and pick out colours more clearly.
JBL premium sound
World renowned sound equipment supplier, JBL, has created a tailor-made premium sound system for the 407 (standard on SV) featuring 10 speakers plus a subwoofer. The result is pure sound reproduction.
AMVAR electronic suspension
A variable electronic suspension system (AMVAR), standard on SV models, independently controls each wheel's suspension and adapts the shock absorbers to your driving style. The result is a car that sets the standard for road holding and gives you excellent maneuverability.
Performance
It's all a question of personality. You have your own, and so does each of the HDi diesel engines on the new Peugeot 407. By offering you both manual and automatic gearboxes, the new Peugeot 407 can be adapted to suit all your requirements. One thing is sure: there is all the pleasure you could want.
HDi diesel engines
Peugeot's experience and ingenuity is evident in the quality of its engines. The 407 is exclusively available with our famed HDi diesel engine technology - a 2.0 HDi turbo diesel and the awe-inspiring 2.7 V6 HDi twin turbo diesel. Both engines are fitted with the FAP particle filter, a self-cleaning system which dramatically reduces the particles or black smoke emitted by diesel engines to barely measurable levels.
Road holding
A rich motor sport heritage provides Peugeot with a wealth of knowledge and expertise in steering and suspension and helps explain its reputation for excellence in road holding. The 407 is fitted with an exclusive drop-linked hub carrier double wishbone front suspension system, providing very precise steering. At the rear, multi-arm type suspension with inclined dampers increases the quality of guidance and enhances stability. In combination, all the elements of the steering and suspension system ensure excellent driving characteristics.
Transmissions
Depending on choice of engine, you have the choice between two advanced transmissions: a slick 6 speed manual or a smooth 6 speed Tiptronic automatic.
Twin turbo V6 HDi diesel
Utilising the very latest common rail injection system and advanced variable geometry twin turbochargers and our FAP Particle Filter, the V6 HDi, with a massive 440Nm torque for serious pulling power, has been engineered to combine driving pleasure with impressive fuel-efficiency.
Safety
With a reinforced structure that doesn't compromise on performance, peace of mind comes standard with every 407. To protect you, this high-tech car provides both active and passive safety features. From its high performance suspension, intelligent airbags and advanced braking and stability systems, the 407 will keep you as safe as possible.
ESP
Our advanced Electronic Stability Program (ESP) works by continually comparing information sent by the steering sensors to detect the start of any understeer or oversteer. Within a fraction of a second it will return the 407 to its initial trajectory. The system can also apply the brakes or reduce engine power to limit wheel spin when traction is poor.
Airbags
Occupant protection is assured by up to 9 airbags: 2 front, 2 front side, 2 full-length curtain (all models) plus 2 rear side (ST and SV) and 1 driver's knee airbag (SV).
Advanced brakes
Excellent road holding, effective braking and superb balance are the major elements of the 407 active safety, instilling and reinforcing driver confidence. The braking system gives added reassurance and combines several functions. ABS controls vehicle trajectory during emergency braking. Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) controls braking wheel by wheel for greater effectiveness, particularly when braking on bends. Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) automatically applies maximum braking power in emergency situations.
Passenger safety cell
For optimal protection of the passenger compartment, the 407 is built with programmed deformation. This offers maximum absorption and dissipation in the event of impact. Further protection from front impact is provided by the installation of a second aluminium absorption bar at the front of the engine sub-frame. Finally, strengtheners in the front and rear doors improves the absorption of side impacts and contributes to improved strengthening of the vehicle as a whole.
Tyre pressure sensors
Under-inflated tyres are a well-known cause for accidents. To protect you, the 407 is equipped with tyre pressure sensors. The principle is simple: each wheel has a sensor which regularly measures variations in the pressure and temperature of the tyre. It detects any anomalies and alerts you straight away.
