[edit] History

The 607 was launched in 1999, to replace the 605. It used its predecessor's chassis but had an all-new, more modern exterior design. The engine range (2.2 and 3.0 petrol, and 2.2 diesel) was completely new. Equipment levels were also high, with all models getting air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, airbags, anti-lock braking system and central locking as standard.

The 607 was restyled in 2004, most notable modifications being the new front end and the 2.7 HDi V6 engine engine, capable of more than 200 bhp (150 kW), mated to a new 6-speed automatic gearbox, which is now also available on the V6 petrol model.

[edit] Taxi versions

The 607 is frequently used as a taxi on the Continent; Portugal uses them as airport taxis in Faro Airport; these versions are usually 3.0 V6 or 2.2 HDi versions; the Benelux countries also use them as well, but less frequently at airports.

[edit] Peugeot 607 Paladine

The Peugeot 607 Paladine is a special landaulet version of the 607 which was developed and built in 2000 cooperation with Heuliez, as a concept car. The engine is the 3.0 V6. It is lengthened by 500 millimetres (20 in) (making it more than 5 m (200 in) long) and the rear part is equipped with a retractable metallic roof similar to the one of the Peugeot 206 or 307 CC.[2] It is a one-off design.

The special leather interior has been developed in cooperation with Hermès.

The car was first presented in Geneva motor show in 2000. It was first used seven years later by President Nicolas Sarkozy for his inauguration on May 16, 2007. Meanwhile, the car had been retrofitted in accordance with the 2004 restyling of the 607 (updated front part).
