Peugeot 607: executive saloon, engines and trims
Peugeot 607 (1999–2010) — a large, comfortable saloon that was Peugeot's flagship for over a decade. We look at the engines, trims and what to check when buying a used 607.
607 in brief
The Peugeot 607 replaced the 605 and was aimed at buyers seeking a spacious, comfortable and slightly different saloon to its German rivals. The interior is spacious, the ride smooth and the body elegant.
The car was only made as a saloon, and in 2004 it was refreshed — it got a new, more expressive front end and an improved interior. It's rarely seen on the used market, and prices are low.
Which trim to choose
Early cars (1999–2004) have the original front end and simpler trim, but are the cheapest. Many have high mileage.
The refreshed 607 (from 2004) stands out with a newer design, more modern engines and better equipment. If your budget allows, opt for this version.
Engines and gearboxes
Petrol engines — 2.0 (around 136hp), 2.2 (around 158hp) and 3.0 V6 (around 207hp). The V6 is quieter and more powerful, but it drinks more and servicing is pricier.
Diesel HDi engines — 2.0 (around 110–136hp), 2.2 (around 133–170hp) and 2.7 V6 (around 204hp, in the refreshed model). For most buyers, the 2.0 or 2.2 HDi is the most appealing due to their economy.
The gearbox is manual or automatic, with V6 versions usually having the automatic.
What to check when buying a used 607
Check the electrical equipment: windows, central locking, climate control, screens, and lighting. Electronics in older executive cars can be expensive to repair.
In HDi diesel engines, check the fuel system, particle filter (if fitted) and cambelt. Test the automatic gearbox on the move, and check the service history via the documents.
Inspect the running gear — a heavy car wears out suspension bushes and joints, while brakes and tyres require more frequent replacement than smaller cars.

Frequently asked questions
Which Peugeot 607 engine is the best?
Many buyers favour the 2.2 HDi for its economy and pulling power. V6 variants are more pleasant to drive, but costlier to maintain.
What's the difference between the early and facelifted 607?
The facelifted (from 2004) model features a new front end, improved interior, and more modern engines. The underlying technology remains largely the same.
Is the 607 reliable?
It depends on the service history. A well-maintained 607 can last a long time, but you should expect issues with electronics and the running gear.
