Rather than go through a full-size redesign, Peugeot preferred a light update for its 407 The only mechanical changes concern the updated 2.0-litre HDi engine which now 138Hp (103Kw), an increase of 4Hp or 3 kW. It also benefits from a fuel consumption of 5.6 litres/100km (42MPG) and CO2 emissions reduced to 150 g/km. Sales are expected to start in

They could have saved bucks not doing such a minor set of changes
Hardly, cost of this re-style is two sides of fk all but it gives the marketing bods something to talk about in a mini re-launch!
Awesome successor,the Peugeot 508 is now on sale,yet I somewhat miss the Peugeot 407 now.
Indeed her packaging is hardly rational,and cumbersome,while her intrepid challenge to design seems lovely in a sense. That's an incarnation of modern art in formation.
As for engineering,the turbo diesel units are still gems,on the other hand the Julassic 3.0-litres V6 petrol with designation of XU94S is separated in its valuation. Its CO2 amount and fuel consumption are below par,while power delivery of this unit is commendable in a way,some examples of 407 3.0V6s(211bhp/30kgm) are said to reach 250-260km/h range on European Autobahn,not only above manufacturer data of 235km/h but also as fast as today's current models such as the Volvo S80 2.5T(231bhp).
Among the brand-new 508 series,the 2.2-litres diesel hybrid yielding 200bhp,waiting on the wing,would succeed such precious pedigree of Autobahn/autoroute cruiser with excellent efficiency,I hope so!
