About the Peugeot 407
The Peugeot 407 arrived in 2004 as a daring replacement for the conservative 406, featuring a massive front grille and elongated headlights that became the brand's signature look. Beneath the skin, it utilised a sophisticated double-wishbone front suspension setup, a rarity in the D-segment, which provided exceptional front-end grip and body control. The 2.0 HDi engine was the mainstay of the range, offering a strong balance of motorway refinement and fuel efficiency. While praised for its safety and handling, the 407 was often criticised for its cramped rear legroom and complex dashboard ergonomics compared to rivals like the Ford Mondeo.
