Building on the success of its 407 saloon, Peugeot has introduced the 407 Coupe. The Coupe is designed for comfort, style and the ability to cover long distances with ease, but the best part is that the 407 is being offered at a lower price than some big name rivals. The 407 Coupe's exterior is similar to that of its saloon sibling, but substantial changes have been made to the car's interior giving it a much more attractive appearance. The car's wide mouth grille, sweeping flanks and smart tail resemble some of the more recent Ferraris. This is one of the most attractive cars being offered. On the inside, the use of aluminium trim and leather on Peugeot 407 SE and GT versions brings a strong sense of luxury and comfort to the cabin. The standard level of specification is generous, even on the entry level model. The 407 Coupe has been enhanced for improved weight distribution, body strength, handling and crash performance. The suspension is stiffer and provides more grip. Other changes include an electronically controlled damping system on six-cylinder models, all versions are fitted with ESP as standard, and assisted steering has been modified for improved feel.
