Chronology

Launched in 2004, the Peugeot 407 was manufactured in Rennes, France. With its streamlined design, large front grille and steeply raked screen pillars, Peugeot 407 cars were originally available as a 4 door saloon. However, a 5 door estate model became available in the autumn of 2004 and a 2 door coupe model was produced in 2006.

The saloon and estate models were given facelifts in 2008, during the summer of which most petrol models were withdrawn from the UK and European markets.

The final model of Peugeot 407 was produced with electric seats, door mirrors that fold when the car is locked, hazard lights which are automatically activated if the driver brakes hard, headlights which are automatically turned on when it becomes dark, and wipers that are automatically activated in the rain. With these features it is not surprising that Peugeot 407 sales were impressive. However, the car was not popular enough and production ceased in 2010. The Peugeot 407 was succeeded by the Peugeot 508 model early in 2011.
