Peugeot 407 SW 2.0 HDI ST

Peugeot were clear: this car is a different car, not a typical family, not a saloon, is a SW. This can be an advantage but also a handicap. The behavior is great, but no big contributions in habitability.

clear and precise instrumentation.

Climate controls and stereo.

As was the case with the 307, the 407 SW version is not a ranchera, much less. In place great emphasis on Peugeot make it clear that not claim to offer a typical family car, but pose a “different concept”. Failing to see if the crowd was not just believe, this 407 SW is rather a car that provides additional distinction because the design load is huge. And it was in the 407 saloon, but now it is much more. It is noticeable, especially in the delicate work that has been done on the back of the car, the more change area.


In that region of the car, the French designers have managed to balance the forms of a family with the tensions and curves of a dynamic sedan. Thus, they have achieved a beautiful shape tailgate in which the moon stands, curved and topped peaks. Also of note is the magnificent rear, belted at the waist of the car, huge, very original headlights.
Despite being a family, no one is aware that the emphasis has been on the emotional part functional. To find out, you only have to look at the rear so interesting.

As interesting and attractive is the glass roof of the SW. As in the 307 SW, Peugeot has mounted a gigantic glass top covering virtually the entire interior. It is the most characteristic of the car, along with its new rear trait.

Moreover, the elegant family setting has not contributed much to habitability. The nine centimeters growing car over the sedan does not affect much greater habitability. The front seats are superb in terms of space and comfort, but the rear, however, not happen to be correct. You may even have some who would seem scarce, because they are the same dimensions as the sedan, which is not the best in its class in terms of passenger space.
Furthermore, the introduction of the glass ceiling forced to lower the height, so there is less space for the head, although the brightness increases produces a false sense of greater amplitude.

The roof conditions trunk space, because the curve tracing back is very tight and cut the gap enough baggage intended. The very attractive, describes a curved rear window also closes a lot of angles, so we subtracting cargo space. In the end, despite appearances family, we only have five liters capacity in the saloon: 470 liters compared to 465.
In return, we have a very clever luggage compartment which has been introduced an original folding cover instead of the roller lonetas. The result is very good, because if you do not want to use the full height of the trunk, you can enjoy a conventional tray. A pair of holes in both sides serve for smaller objects. In addition, the access gate is good, especially because it can be opened in two parts: on the one hand window and door on the other.

Apart from the levels of habitability and stowage solutions, the 407 offers chic interior. Almost identical to the sedan, characterized by modern and elegant image, dominated by the glass roof and a voluminous center console and well-ordered.

It draws attention to the correction of materials, only overshadowed in the most remote areas of the trunk, where there is enough bad plastic (not very good which make up the center console, but fall under usual). It is also ensalzable quality finishes, which is a very good level, and, from our point of view, the magnificent layout of controls, with all the buttons at hand and what is best, with a touch impeccable.

And within this general tone correction, the front seats are comfortable and secure quite well, without reaching the hardness of sports without being too soft. In our case we had electric adjustments, so finding the right driving position was very simple. Too bad the rear seats were not a little wider because, if so, the set would be perfect.
Sitting behind the wheel need to put a snag: the door mirrors are very small and the interior is conditioned by the little glass rear window space. Visibility therefore is a point to improve. In this regard, include the beams have seemed somewhat scarce.

It is, in short, a comfortable interior, but no frills or excesses. Its greatest virtue is to travel the world looking through the glass ceiling. If traveling in the back seat and the stars are, you can enjoy a unique pleasure. Worth discovering.

One of the advantages of this solvent 407 is its standard equipment. For 28,400 euros for this finish Comfort Pack have such interesting items as driver airbag, passenger, side, driver knee and front and rear curtain. That is, a set of airbags as complete category.

This superb safety equipment is complemented by ABS, stability control and tire pressure. In addition, it also has elements that are between comfort and safety, such as parking sensors. 416 euros, also can mount the cruise control.

Paragraph luxury and amenities also goes very well covered. Series, this model has dual zone climate control, stereo with six-CD and steering wheel, trip computer, rain sensor, leather steering wheel and adjustable height and depth … also can be mounted several packages equipment such as including leather and heated seats for 1,665 euros; or gathering navigation system and mobile phone, which costs 2,029 euros.
