Last July, the 407 Saloon and SW enhanced their powers of attraction. Still incredibly dynamic, the style was subtly updated to give them even greater elegance, robustness and perceived quality.
The specification was improved not only in terms of interior comfort and equipment (front park assistance, new WIP (World in Peugeot) Nav and WIP Com telematics systems, etc.) but also in terms of engines, with the arrival of a 2.0-litre HDi FAP engine immediately compatible with Euro 5 standards and even more economical (5.6 litres/100km (50.4mpg) or 150g/km of CO2) with power increased to 103kW (140bhp).
Benefiting from multiple technical developments (all enhancing overall driving pleasure), the new 407 models, in their 1.6-litre HDi FAP 80kW (110bhp) Saloon and SW versions, now offer a Combined fuel consumption of only 4.9 litres/100 km (57.6mpg), or 129 g of CO2.
In France, where its price starts at €24,350 for the saloon and €25,350 for the SW, it is eligible for the €200 bonus.
A technical specification that reduces fuel consumption and enhances driving enjoyment
The adoption of electro-hydraulic power steering on the 407 1.6-litre HDi FAP plays a key part in improving its environmental efficiency. Its power steering is controlled by a hydraulic electro-pump unit in which assistance varies according to the speed of the car, the speed of rotation of the steering wheel and the temperature of the steering fluid.
This steering system, already in place on other models in the 407 range (except for six-cylinder models), optimises fuel consumption compared to traditional hydraulic steering powered by the engine.
