The Peugeot 407 is a large family car produced by the French automaker Peugeot from 2004 to 2010. It is available in saloon, coupé and estate variants, with both diesel and petrol engines. The petrol engines range from 1.8 to 2.9-litres displacement, whereas the diesels range from 1.6 to 3.0-litre engines.
The 407, along with the larger 607, was succeeded by the 508 in January 2011. According to the European Car of the Year website, the 407 was one of the runners-up in the 2005 award.
The 407 was the successor to the hugely successful Peugeot 406, and was launched in The Sunday Times Motorshow Live on May 27, 2004. The streamlined design of the car was seen as quite radical, its most distinctive features being its large front grille and the steeply raked screen pillars.
The estate, known as the Peugeot 407 SW, was launched four months after the saloon, whereas the coupé was launched in January 2006. The annual sales of the Peugeot 407 peaked at 259,000 units in 2005, with 57,000 sales outside Europe.
In August 2008, the models were given a minor facelift, resulting most petrol–engined models being withdrawn from sale in the United Kingdom, and other countries of Europe.
Model was available with AMVAR electronic suspension, that controls each wheel’s damping independently, adapting the hardness of the ride every 2.5 milliseconds to suit your driving style.

The first advertisement, known as "The Toys" or "Les Jouets", features life–size toy cars shown up, by the sleek newly released Peugeot 407. Directed by Philippe André for French agency BETC Euro RSCG, the advert was filmed in Sydney, Australia (we see cars crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge). André developed twenty model cars especially for the shoot. The soundtrack is provided by French duo, The Film, (Guillaume Brière & Benjamin Lebeau) with their song Can You Touch Me, an adaptation of their earlier song, Can You Trust Me.
