Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 170 bhp



Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 170 bhp

Peugeot returns to rely on the policy of alliances. Through an agreement with Ford, has developed a new propellant Diesel. It is the 2.2 HDi 170 bhp, a mechanic who already offers in the range Peugeot 407.

Now, comes to the family Peugeot 607 as an intermediate step in its range of diesel. The ideal spot for those that the 2.0 HDi 136 bhp they felt "down" but were not ready to hit the jump up to 2.7 HDi 204 bhp.

This new engine is notable for applying the technology of parallel sequential dual turbo. It is the first time that the mark is encouraged with her in a four-cylinder. Mounting the two peat, more torque is achieved at a wider margin of revolutions. According to official figures, 1,000 rpm and delivers 20.40 mkg. And beyond the 3,000 rpm, you'll still 36.22 mkg. The maximum torque is 37.8 mkg to 1,500 rpm.

You can imagine that the answer is secured. In addition, it comes at a very progressive and linear.

They also worry about polluting emissions and consumption. They have built an entirely new combustion chamber that lowers the amount of fuel burned and prevents heat loss. This technology has added a third-generation common rail and new piezoelectric injectors.

This machine is linked to a six-speed manual box, a transmission that is already offered in the 2.0 HDi, but which has been reinforced to withstand the increased torque.

Their numbers
0 to 100 km / h: 9.3 seconds
0 to 1,000 m: 30.2 seconds
Top speed: 224 km / h
Average consumption: 6.4 liters per 100 km
Recovery 80-120 in 5th: 8.6 seconds

And small touches
Peugeot takes the arrival of the new engine to give a little change of image to the range. The Peugeot 607 groups debuts new optical back now, ruby color and more transparent.

It also incorporates an alert for when the passengers of the front seats to forget the seat belt.

The new engine is already on sale at dealerships Spaniards of the mark.

Rates:
Peugeot 407 2.2 HDi Titanium 170 hp: 37,090 euros
Peugeot 407 2.2 HDi 170 bhp Ebony: 37,090 euros

Our assessment
The Peugeot 607 has already served six Anita. However, the firm is far from retired: works well commercially. For this reason, has decided to add this new Diesel, an intermediate step that, frankly, was much needed. Nearly nine out of ten buyers of this vehicle want a HDi, but the vast majority, it meant a terrible vertigo jump from the 136 to 204 hp (especially economically speaking).

Therefore, expect this new version captured 17 percent of sales of diesel models. Those who wager by rolling a soft, quiet and comfortable sound. Let us not forget that continues the same pattern holds for the rest of the range, a group that, according to the brand, make him a true gentleman of the highway. "

Strike guards covered parking



Strike guards covered parking

After the attacks that occurred this morning in the Spanish capital, from Highway Online not know the extent of this strike between the guards of covered parking.

Various media opened its local pages today inviting Madrid to park for free in the capital, and in principle, the police would not be fined. Like all emergency services and security forces in Madrid and the surrounding provinces are concentrated in relief to the hundreds of injured and the evacuation of more than 170 dead, according to provisional figures from the National Court, has not been conducted any follow-up to this strike.

The workers are demanding an increase of SER's salary (paid about 600 euros per month) and an improvement in working conditions (reducing hours). According to representatives of these employees, in cities like Barcelona, Valencia and Pamplona is charged for this same job some 1,100 euros.

In any event, the Madrid City Council has announced that failure to resolve the situation, terminate the contract with the concessionaires of this service (Setex-Sufi, and Eysa Dornier).

The strike committee have announced more days of unemployment for this month: 17, 24 and 25.

Peugeot 607 2 2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 Motor and change

If what you are looking for a car wide, comfortable, to travel without problems and that, furthermore, provides distinction and a high level of comfort, the Peugeot 607 is an option that should not be ignored.

The Peugeot saloon is a perfect example of refinement that has been reaching the French automotive, which rivals in luxury and levels of equipment with the German. However, the market, at least in Spanish, still not smiling openly these cars Gauls. The Peugeot 607, the Vel Satis ... With the honorable exception of the C5, which is defended, everyone else has gone from stumbling into setback in our country. And that arguments that sales were not missing.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

The Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 hp is a clear example of this wonderful creative moment that passes through the high segment in France. With its elegant forms and sosegadas, quintessence what should be a vehicle of representation: beautiful, large-scale and presence, capable of transmitting image of power and security.
None of this is missing in our player that also suggests a very attractive combination mechanics. We have chosen this time the 2.2 HDI engine with the gearbox of six speeds. It is an interesting mix of mechanical efficiency and fuel savings.

Peugeot 607 is a luxury sedan that, at least in Spain, does not have the same commercial wrench their German rivals. The truth is that after spending a weekend at his company, one does not know very well what may be the "discrimination". ?Both the brand matter?

Motor indefatigable
The propellant 2.2 HDI is a machine quite familiar, but why not unhelpful. It is a dedicated engine, quiet, delivery and total response always generous. Moving the voluminous body of Peugeot 607, HDI meets this: not that it's an example of wasteful acceleration or force, but neither can you put too many objections.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It has good low, needed for the launch of the 1642 kilograms of Peugeot. Then, his best time is about the 2,200 laps, while over 4,000 no longer appears much stronger, although the engine, willful, allows stretch still something more. According to our test bench is the maximum torque of 32.72 mkg 2,250 revolutions, a figure very interesting.
Even so, is the least powerful of its kind, where the minimum power is around 150 hp.

The gearbox six-speed has come to give a more restful to this engine. Now, efforts would cost less and was able to reduce noise and, above all, consumption, with a weighted average of 7.2 liters per 100 km.
This amount may seem very high for a Turbo, but we have to explain that is driven by consumption in the city (8.8 liters per 100 km). In the urban tracks, the weight of the car is crucial. In contrast, intercity roads has marked an average of 5.4 liters.

Continuing with the box, it is obligatory to note that its management is therefore a little difficult, because it is necessary to draw very well the movements of the lever so as not to err on the gear of any progress. We must also note that routes are long. Instead, the choice of development is very good.
Are happy to exploit the virtues of the third, perhaps the most brilliant of all progress, especially when the road was entangled in curves and slopes. It is a relationship in which the engine shows its full force and power comes on stream at the foot of the accelerator. Almost the same can point to the fourth, able to stretch a lot and provide a good sustained acceleration
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It's a perfect motion for speedy recoveries and overtaking when you need agility to move beyond the problems of traffic thick. Instead, we were fifth in a bit in no man's land: too long and overlaps with the sixth. The latter, inexhaustible, is designed to travel comfortably, saving and enjoying a relaxed driving. Has enough bellows and holds relatively well falls laps, which makes it ideal for the highway: if we care not to drop much the engine speed, we can make hundreds of kilometers without drawing the sixth.

Another thing is more uncomfortable on roads where the volume of the car will force us to work hard to change to keep pace. This is where the marches half, with his great ability to throw, will help us more.

Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 - Behavior and interior



Peugeot 607 2 2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 Behavior and interior

Much ballast
Ton and a half long that weighs Peugeot 607 is the reference value at the time of analyzing how it behaves this car. When the roads are comfortable, with a suspension design which has prevailed in comfort, we found that most benefits. The car is comfortable, Aplomado, consistent and easy to shoot. The irregularities of the land disappear, engullidas by a suspension that filters and retains virtually all levels of comfort excellent. And yet our unit, with 17-inch wheels and tires around 225/50 Pirelli P 6000, offered a very low profile and this will reduce the capacity buffer to the set.
But at the time, springs and shock absorbers provide the necessary firmness to the big curves of the highways do not load fluctuations of the body.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

However, in areas tacks and complicated, the weight is particularly strong car and accuses it of such soft suspension. Tends to heel to go into the corners and to build, a problem that stems from the "tonnage". However, if one takes into account this fact, the route of the Peugeot 607 is impeccable, full of nobility and good behavior. Just find some levis movements of the rear axle support in a very strong side or in support of abrupt changes. If not much force the machine, not even appreciate these minimum landslides.

Which also felt the weight is on the brakes, which suffer harassment of the 1,600 kilos long and end up giving signs of weakness if they are required much work. Finally, the direction is not exactly very fast, but it is accurate, and that the steering wheel, very large, is not at all pleasant.

French luxury
And is that the steering wheel is the most questionable of the carrier. It uncomfortable for their large size joins the growing number of levers, as if they were the tines of a hedgehog, he had gone out. In our unit, were lined around the "thread" of the wiper controls, lights, cruise control and stereo controls. The fact is that these two levers are almost identical to the first two, so it is not difficult to play the "clean" when we want to change disk, or vice versa.

Apart from this, the interior enjoys a level of sophistication of France itself very vibrant and bright that it has created. There is much room for legs, shoulders and head, there are infinite possibilities of placement for the front seats (leather in our protagonist), there are several drawers and drawers ... There are, in short, almost everything, including a parasol rear curtain that opens and closes automatically.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

The center console, finished in leather and wood, has some controls a bit distant from the hands of the driver, a detail that bothers a bit, but, moreover, is a prodigy of good finishes and perfect manufacturing. The soundproofing is almost complete, and rolling, there is hardly any noise that might disturb. Since then, the engine barely be heard.

The boot, to complete the review, is a real cave, a cargo hold that opens with a button that is hidden in the numbers "0" of the Peugeot 607 logo that looks the bodywork. Inside, space for several large suitcases and hollow discs, the shipper of the CD, and so on. To close it, just push another button.

Equipment "high class"
Series, the Peugeot 607, finishing in the pack, which was the one who drove, carries an endowment that would like to do many of its prestigious German rivals. For a list of what's in paragraph mechanical and safety, there are ABS, a dozen airbags, Isofix anchorages, adaptive cruise control, stability control, rain sensor, folding mirrors and heated electrically, alloy wheels, 17 inches ...

For a list of comfort and luxury to stay there that much more space: electric front seats, stereo with six-CD charger, dual climate control, rear curtain parasol, chilled glove box, metallic paint, satellite navigator, leather upholstery, handles doors and mirrors in the color of the bodywork, leather steering wheel with audio controls, front and rear armrest ...

All that remained was for the section of the roof practicable options (910 euros, special wheels and tires (310 euros) and the automatic gearbox, which costs 1560 euros. Of the rest, there is everything.

As we can see, this is a really interesting vehicle. It offers an exceptional quality router, a good engine that spends very little equipment and a frontline that is combined with luxury finishes and a general level of great distinction. And all for a price of 39,100 euros, a fairly competitive price if we take into account how well the car goes, the very high burden of hardware that leads series that are expensive and their rivals when they put this whole team on top.

New Tram accident in Barcelona



New Tram accident in Barcelona

The controversy continues with the new tram in Barcelona. The so-called Trambaix, which is currently circulating on a trial basis, collided again yesterday against a car on the road from Collblanc, with the street corner by Tomas Gimenez, in the town of L'Hospitalet. In fact, is the third accident to occur at this point in the journey, but the first after installing the new signs.

The incident occurred because of a recklessness. The driver of a BMW made a turn to the left, despite the two large traffic signs that prohibit them, and finally collided squarely with the tram. In addition, municipal sources have confirmed that at this point of the road, there is a great grill painted yellow prohibiting stop at the intersection, a circumstance that avoided the driver of the vehicle.

Until now, all accidents recorded in the Trambaix have occurred after the drivers of passenger cars have not respected the rules of the road. The Metropolitan Transport responsible for ensuring that all parts of accidents have been processed through friendly, after recognition of guilt of drivers.

According to municipal sources reported, nine of the crashes were due to improper turns from cars. That's why this week the authorities have begun to place new signs at roundabouts, old turns to the left and pedestrian zones.

Peugeot 607 HDI 2.2 6V



Peugeot 607 HDI 2 2 6V

The Peugeot 607 was launched three years ago and he stood in his Peugeot entry, despite being a generalist brand, in the Mount Olympus of high performance and luxury inhabited by the trio of classics Mercedes, Audi and BMW. With 100,000 units sold, the brand their economic performance qualifies as a real success, but the fact is that the perception of Peugeot brand as "premium" has only been translated into French, her native market. Today, the Peugeot 607 remains a good vehicle, even with the glory of having been the first to apply the technology of the particulate filter and able to give many joys to its creators. Perhaps for that reason, they have decided to expand their range and improve its mechanical performance by applying to version 2.2 HDI a stick shift six-speed that replaces the 5-relations, maintaining this number of marches in the automatic self-use and also Tiptronic sequential.
Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge Enlarge


HIGHLIGHTS

Available in the coming weeks at dealerships, the Peugeot 607 HDI 2.2 6V will be sold with two output prices, according to the finish chosen: 34,280 and 39,500 euros.

With an engine capacity of 2179 cm3, the HDI of 2.2 and 16-valve four-cylinder, turbo has a variable geometry and particulate filter that traps and then burned, with significant benefits in emissions and maintenance which will be has now stretched to 120,000 km. It develops 136 hp at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 32 mkg at 2,000 rpm, reaching 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. Its top speed is 205 km / h and the availability of torque at low speed allows you to shoot with total credit at low revolutions, saving fuel (6.6 liters per 100 km in mixed Click) and improve the comfort of walking. The instrumentation includes a pilot to alert the driver if the vehicle is over, even on time, the emission regulations. The new box holds the same as the 5-speed, and this allows to keep the same turning radius.

For the user, the new motion brings in a more relaxing drive and a power reserve to ensure the maximum convenience excellent performance with a tread. Attaining high speed cruising on track with wide curves and smooth radio firm is easy and safe and added an undoubted pleasure to drive daily.
Pressing the zero of the logo "Peugeot 607" opens the hood it automatically.

In addition to this new box, the range now has Peugeot 607 new features, without surcharge for the client. In passive safety, you now have side airbags for rear seat, in complement with curtain airbags, which already exist. As of comfort equipment, opening and closing of the boot have been automated with a drive also very simple (a specific button on the remote or the scratch of the logo "Peugeot 607" stuck on the bonnet). Exterior mirrors automatically fold now and, like the interior, are electrocromicos, a technology that prevents glare and the buyer can optionally. Finally, the optional Bluetooth handsfree kit, with the recognition and automatic connection between a mobile phone compatible with this wireless technology and the car. Only by bringing the mobile above it is possible to call and have a conversation through the speakers of the radio and continued to exit the car and use all the functions of mobile browsing your menus through the car's multifunction display. They also have been small changes that improve the aesthetics of the vehicle, such as tires "arctique" aluminum 17-inch, a new type of coating for velvet and leather seats with the new key "cobalt blue."

Comparison: BMW 520i / Peugeot 607 2.2



Comparison BMW 520i  Peugeot 607 2 2

With saloons mean increasingly large and powerful, is getting more difficult to survive the basic versions of large saloons. This, coupled with the increasingly estrangulantes antipollution regulations, has guided the path of these mechanical path towards higher engine capacity. This has been understood both as BMW and Peugeot, to motorize their representatives more content in the chapter of gasoline, have come up to 2.2 liters of displacement. This small peak-two liters and "peak" - does wonders, since it allows exceeded the barrier of 150 bhp with ease and provides few extras mkg, without forcing a little progressive torque curve, making these engines in a relatively close pass to the next, normally a 6-cylinder engine from 175 to 200 hp. In fact, BMW uses the classic six in line of the mark, appropriately updated, its high engine capacity up to 2.2 liters. Opposite him, his extrapolated Peugeot four-cylinder up to Cubic still higher than the BMW and install two trees for balancing the vibrations that contain pieces of alternative ratios are produced.

The operation of the two is mechanics ties with the softness so obvious. The BMW lives up to its fame and touring as an electric motor, fine and progressive. The Peugeot left guessing some small vibration on the steering wheel, perceptible only with extreme care, but it is nevertheless a good reflection of the wonders that can do some axis contrarrotantes.

HIGHLIGHTS

The French engine is significantly stronger that its German rival.

Faced pistons piston, the surprise is not small when it is found that the French engine is significantly stronger that its German rival, as always paradigm of energy use. But figures obtained by our test bench dictate that pushed the four-cylinder with just over six in the forcefulness that line. And that it has an invaluable ally in a gearbox with developments that appear to have been chosen by a team competition, as it is not wasted no rpm single in the fifth and the jumps between gears are impeccable. The Peugeot does not leave anything to chance, and despite a touch of the lever less satisfactory than that of BMW, the transmission also takes a perfectly the potentials of the propellant.

The benefits, therefore, are not particularly different. In acceleration, the BMW is faster because of better motor skills, not skating in the first few meters, but in recoveries and overtaking, the Peugeot puts things in place, according to its mechanics over par. At the time consuming, parity is also the situation closer to reality and will have more influence on driving style than the thirst for both mechanical.

A time to take advantage of these resources away from straight lines, both models show some ways more than good. The BMW, with its stability control, and limiting the excesses of the driver, but even without it connected, the frame shows a refinement of the first, with an excellent balance that we can only break into a very closed angles based on an excessive use of accelerator. Even in these situations, control of derrapaje is easy, thanks to the excellent design of the chassis. The Peugeot, meanwhile, is revealed as a true representative of the mark. Despite its size, the liveliness is the sensation of its main wheel. The front axle has a major bearing directional and the mandates of the driver are performed promptly and accurately. The train rear-caste comes to the greyhound, demonstrates an unusual flexibility in this segment. The changes that mark the place in the suspensions before the commercial release have not killed one of the characteristics which for three decades have been regarded as one of the most outstanding virtues of the brand and, now, from certain sectors, it looks like one of its most repudiated defects. In our view, the behavior of Peugeot 607 would be almost perfect if it had been incorporated in this release, the stability control system that limited the point of excess in the rear of the train reaction that some drivers may find surprisingly quiet court in situations limit. In any case, and outside them, the large model of Peugeot is so stable, or more than its rival in this comparative and their speed of passage through the curves are virtually identical.
The Peugeot could only look with envy at BMW in a matter of tact in the conduct and use.
Comfort behind the wheel
Since we are talking about equality, opening the door of the Peugeot we find ourselves with an overview of the most positive. Never the presentation of a model of signing the lion had gone so high, with superb visual quality of materials and to completion of the first. The interior space and design of the driving position leave no room for criticism, being comfortable rather than a chapter spoiled. Quiet, non-Vibrating with damping effect of double-soft low-frequency oscillations and more rigid at high speed and highly-equipped, the Peugeot could only look with envy at BMW in a matter of TACT in the conduct and use. That provided the firmness calculated that BMW has chosen for his leadership-520i, however, closing the doors, and so on. .- Is seen as superior quality compared to the Softness that characterized the Peugeot. The goal more difficult to hand Peugeot 607 with this is to believe in advance to those who have 6 million pesetas ready to be spent in a car, placed on the balance 520 and Peugeot 607, virtually in balance in the horizontal. We are willing to AFFIRM it, but our experience shows that in a country like ours, most of them invest their money in a model, the 5 Series, so with excellence and a reputation as settled as the Bavarian brand has managed to Hoard.

The Peugeot 607 will be the first to incorporate the first changes in the HDI known so far: increased capacity of 2.0 to 2.2 liters, MULTIVALVULIDA aluminum cylinder head, variable-geometry turbocharger and trees balanced. Additionally, this will be the first incorporation of the mechanism of Porsche Tiptronic sequential selector to change Autoactivo of the mark. At the same time we have had occasion to test the latest configuration of the suspensions and wheel-floor union, after the criticism they received a few months ago some units of the model prototypes. But going by parties. Without a thorough exploitation, have been achieved in this diesel-engined 136 hp at 4,000 rpm and have exceeded the 30 mkg maximum torque reaching 32.3 mkg at 2,000 rpm, an increase of almost 20 per cent compared to 2.0 engine With only a 10 percent increase in engine capacity. With this engine, PSA has met all its know-how commercially applicable today on its HDI engines: the box that Automatic autoadaptable can be obtained with this engine becomes even more attractive with the incorporation of the selection system Tiptronic sequential, designed by Porsche. The operation of the engine is very smooth and quiet, fulfilling what was promised, and its elasticity, proverbial: the car recovered smoothly from 1.600/1.800 rpm and cutting injection is the 4700 rpm. The soundproofing is also very good, even rolling at 200 km / h, although without actually dialing benchmarks in the category.

The pre-production units of Peugeot 607 aroused criticism from journalists Gauls because of maneuvering extremes swerving of obstacles the rear axle could no longer adequately to the front or curved, the limit, the rear is desacomodaba with some violence to put down the accelerator . Quickly, Peugeot reoriented the configuration of the suspensions. This time, though there was much traffic on the French Normandy, we were able to get an idea of the effectiveness of the improvements. The amendments have changed, undoubtedly, the character of the car to roll. The tires go from 215/60 to 225/55 (wider, lower profile) and even offers a variant of extreme wheel with 225/50 R17. The diameter of the rear stabilizer bar is lower than initially anticipated (and increased the lead in the 2.2 petrol). The shock absorbers are generally harder, which is especially noticeable in the compression. The suspension was also driven the V6 modified its software. The elastic bushings of the rear suspension, which control the effect autodireccional, have been tightened and are mounted arms more rigid. It also has changed the assistance of the leadership to bring greater sensitivity to the driver. With the changes, the Peugeot 607 is quite a ride harder. We were able to test drives with rim of 16 and 17 inches. Definitely, it is better to march with the comfort of the rim "small", as the largest, swings and shaking of the body (with amotiguadores relatively soft to the extension) are very extensive and lower profile tire accuses much more Step by potholes. Clearly, if there was any doubt in your development, the problem has been resolved by more "sporty" to the chassis. With both versions of the car tires quickly aims and introducing smoothly on the curves. In support reacts gradually, as usual when the foot is lifted and the rapid changes of direction also cause problems.

The price of Peugeot 607 in Spain will be 5,750,000 pesetas and will be one of a range that is filled with the gasoline engine, 2.2 and the new generation three-liter V6 that is shared with Renault.

New Engine 2.0 for the 806
Moreover, the range of 806 carrier receives, also with immediate availability, the four-cylinder engine, two liters MULTIVALVULIDA of the new EW series that had been assembled for the first time last year in the Peugeot 406. With its 138 hp at 6,000 rpm and a torque of 19.4 mkg, propelling this has improved the pleasure of driving the minivan, which now can be ordered with the change Autoactiva selector with Tiptronic.

Peugeot 607 2.7 V6 HDi Pack aut. A glossy Engine. Behavior and interior



Peugeot 607 2.7 V6 HDi Pack aut A glossy  Engine Behavior and interior

- A glossy Engine

Rid us in praise when Jaguar 2.7 V6 HDi mechanics included in the S-Type, and now that we return to find it in the Peugeot 607, we have to sing again its wonders: the propellant Diesel is so quiet, effective and powerful that overshadows everything that we have seen so far in the segment of the saloons of representation.

This engine is a collaboration between PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) and Ford Motor Company. The model of Jaguar was the first to constipation and, behind him, his virtue benefited from the Land Rover Discovery and the Peugeot 607. Few days ago, the XJ in the UK has also joined their Ranks and soon will do the Citroen C6. Thus, none of the "FLAGSHIPS" of trademarks Belonging to the various Consortia will be without the advantages offered by this machine.

We will have to Sharpen the ear to make sure their operation, and that after turning the ignition key, just hear "breathe" in this voluminous Peugeot. Its length has increased to 4.90 meters in order to accommodate this propellant has been required cm 3 length the front overhang.
It also has created a new engine cradle, with a suspension of the mechanical "cross" and additional cross, which isolate vibration at low regimen.
Although we have already talked about the 2.7 V6 HDi engine several times, we want to remind their main characteristics. The block is made of a material called "CGI" (acronym in English for compacted graphite iron), which allows for a slight mechanical. His weight, according to the brand, is 199 pounds, just 15 more than the propellant gas, an 3.0 with 6-cylinder in "V".
The injection system with piezoelectric injectors, faster than the Electromagnetic. The cylinder heads are cut off by an elastic material, which helps reduce the transmission of vibrations. This propellant is equipped with a particulate filter "no maintenance" means you need to travel 200,000 km before changing it.
Every long journey this technology deployment goes unnoticed to ear, so you can concentrate on enjoying the 204 hp offered by the mechanics. The power appears in a controlled manner and only have to step on the accelerator to feel like, gently, the cuentavueltas increases without jumps, completing a flawless tour and leaving the Peugeot 607 wins speed and sliding on the asphalt.

The two turbochargers which owns the engine, electronically managed not to desmanden and hit a sharp kick and inappropriate, are shown tireless when it comes to hand over power. The maximum torque (no less than 44.9 mkg) appears to 1,900 rpm, which ensures a living at low revolutions.
However, the feelings are nuanced by the automatic gearbox that is linked in series, this refined propellant. This is a new transmission, developed by the Japanese company Aisin, six marches, although its compactness and weight are comparable to a box of four relationships. For non desentonar with the engine, the transition from one speed to another is accomplished with smoothness and elegance, without realizing it. On long trips, to have this kind of transmission is a delight.
Just have to move the lever to "D" and we can forget about everything: the management of the power is provided by a system that stifles the response of the engine slightly, but in return, do not allow us to perform sudden accelerations, for thus saving fuel. It is appreciated, since the average cost of fuel, according to data from our Technical Center, is 8.8 liters per 100 kilometers. Incidentally, the travel will not be cheap, but we must bear in mind that this is a very powerful mechanical and that, coupled with an automatic shift, consumes only 0.1 km litro/100 more than in the Jaguar S-Type, where the test combined with a manual shift.

In the sequential mode, with control "Porsche Tiptronic system," also had six gears. Spending upload something else if we decide on the way "Sport" of the transmission, which stretches more marches before moving to higher-related or the sequence. We have no doubt that the majority of buyers in this segment much weighed the option of a change automatically, but if we are faced with more sinuous tracks, would be almost boring.
If we manage the operation "ourselves" (will not be able to download or upload speed if the exchange believes that we have not reached the correct band in the tachometer), did not win quickly, but this will have more power.
The warm purr that we have received while maintaining a speed of almost unspeakable cruising on the highway was turned into a muffled roar when the needle bring to the area's high cuentavueltas. - Conduct internal and diplomatic tact could not be otherwise: in a car like this, a superb engine response should be accompanied by a chassis that was to rise to the occasion. It has been necessary to make minor modifications, but Peugeot has managed to Peugeot 607, despite its size, passes through the free despeinarse mountain roads and demonstrating their knowledge to be. Although we expected a more awkward behavior when it comes to link curves, the fact is that this car does not lose the papers. We do not have been surprised at the speed curve by-step already knew, since the deployment of propellant power, he was going to be high, but the poise that exhibits.
Previously, control of the buffer was conducted axle shaft. In the new version, with 2.7 engine, the four shock absorbers are managed separately, according to the type of driving and the land on which we find ourselves.
The result is a continuous variable suspension that finds the right balance between passenger comfort (lost in the broad rear seats, just accused the asphalt potholes or curly) and effectiveness. We did not find the "ship effect" that often appear in these vehicles but, even knowing that it is not implicit in the nature of this sedan, we would have liked to find a suspension that hold more firmly into the body turns closed. If you want to cancel this effect, the change must move to "Sport", in a setting that appears a bit strong, without compromising the comfort of the occupants. Also in line with the new mechanics have reached a front ventilated disc brakes, larger (330 millimeters) and an ESP of last generation. We can give outstanding to the former, which stop the car, according to the measurements of our Technical Center at 72.8 meters: this is a remarkable brand for a vehicle of 1772 kg.

The stability control complements the good work of the brakes with a very discreet that we can cancel the press of a button. However, this disconnect is only intended for use in situations boot on a low grip surface.
When you exceed 50 km / h, the ESP will re-connect so automatic, as a good diplomat, will remain in the shadows until their intervention is really necessary. Power steering through a pilot valve (present in the Peugeot 607 with a V6 engine) will allow us with a firm hand to guide this "flagship".
Only the presidential palace most observers will notice the slight changes that has received the Peugeot 607. The already commented "estiron" necessary to accommodate the 2.7 V6 HDi engine, has been tapped to provide new ways to the grille, with inlets and a few more voluminous fog surrounded by a chromed ring. These minor tweaks have been designed to highlight the increased power that this Peugeot acquires thanks to the new mechanics, but without losing the lordly air that surrounds it. Its forms can taste more or less, but its elegance and its packaging are incontestable. On the streets, many people will turn, attracted by its presence, its striking tires (225/50 on a 17-inch rim that, incidentally, provide a grip that most notable) and its dimensions. The city encorseta and, in many cases, parking sensors have been of invaluable assistance: we have discovered that the public car parks are not made for the Peugeot 607.
The exterior of the car suggests luxury and comfort and the interior is perfectly in keeping with this picture. The atmosphere prevailing in the passenger compartment is warm and elegant; has appliques of walnut and some leather seats that can move around without desentonar the living room of a house. They are comfortable and spacious, although it would be desirable to hold the body a little better.
The same can be said of the rear seats, with room left over for almost any benchmark that we measure. The worst was the note carries the luggage and not by their ability (with no less than 530 liters), but for its height: although the Porton discovers a wide mouth cargo, we can not put packages or boxes that are very high. While on the other hand?
Who owns a Peugeot 607 would want to transport something as mundane as a box when the suitcases design is so well suited to the corners of the trunk? A second glance, but stopped, the passenger, enables us to discover the harmony with which fit all auctions and the great profusion of equipment of this Peugeot. The section should only blemish: there are eight airbags as standard (not even pay you need to separate the sides back), plus a regulator / speed limiter, a sensor, tire pressure, a recognition system voice ...

Only the browser and the electric roof are optional in this version, with a price of 46,300 euros. It might seem a bit high, taking into account the general condition of Peugeot brand, but we have a product ready to compete with rivals but without hesitation "exclusive". If we take into account the dictates of the calculator, they have nothing to do with the "lion".

The security of the Peugeot 607, into the moose test



The security of the Peugeot 607 into the  moose test

The French magazine Auto Plus says in its edition last Tuesday (n? 600) that the Peugeot 607 has serious problems of loss of control when turning, especially when they maneuver to dodge obstacles. It seems that the problem lies in the lack of adhesion to the ground in such maneuvers, which were resolved with the inclusion of an ESP (electronic stability control). Auto Plus showed that these rulings were not as severe as those reported in the Mercedes Class A if not surpass the controversial moose test. Peugeot's headquarters in France, has reacted in principle, saying that the problem affects only the units tested by the French publication. Shortly afterwards hinted that the rulings could affect all the cars tested, and pre Need for being even a last tune. Another speaker of the house indicated that Peugeot is working on the development of the car following the standards of quality of the brand. According to the Reuters news agency, the spokesman stressed that the technical work under way in improving the restraint system of the car on the road: "In particular, this work focused on getting the best possible assembly of the wheels the chassis and the direction smoothing. " The news agency noted that the date of the official launch of the car next May could be delayed until these problems were finally rectified. "We know that these cars are not yet perfect in terms of stability," said the spokesman for Peugeot. The international press test this model two weeks ago in Jordan. Then, on a circuit completely flat and straight, no one was able to test the car in hard cornering. One of the first media that has had access to such evidence has been Auto Plus, he has revealed these potential failures. Another magazine that has tested the car is Auto Motor und Sport, the group Motorpress in Germany. Their testers rated negatively by the fact that, at high load and without the ESP system stabilizer, the reactions to the transfers of mass car's target of the criticism of Auto Plus are not good. The transfers of mass are the kinetic forces that act on the vehicle in turns or in the acceleration and braking. Pedro Crespo, director of communications for Peugeot in Spain, has downplayed the information from the French magazine claiming that the cars were pre-tested. In addition, Crespo says that everything is the product of the sensationalism of Auto Plus. Peugeot has introduced this model high hopes for the future, as it wants to turn it into one of their banners. The Peugeot 607 sedan is a high level, which in principle would be launched next May 15 in France, Spain in its marketing is planned for next September.

In addition, this sedan will offer two choices of gearbox, a manual, five walks and one automatic, four. The Peugeot 607 gonna on sale in two trim levels and three environments (Titanium, Ebony and Ivory). The equipment will be very complete, leaving few elements as optional.

With this Peugeot 607 aims to position itself as the leading general builder in the segment of luxury saloons, a sector cornered by specialists such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi and Volvo.

The Peugeot 607 will be irreproachable



The Peugeot 607 will be irreproachable

The information is spreading like wildfire: the Peugeot 607, future-Bear of the mark of the lion, has problems of stability. He has published openly, perhaps with a touch-sensationalized the French weekly Auto Plus, the German Auto Motor und Sport has dropped, although more veiled, it seems that there are several French magazines engine testing circuit to test how far they go these alleged problems. While, until now, only Peugeot said that the units were tested by the pre-press and there was no problem, though, if any, will be resolved before the launch of the model (May in France, in September in Spain, hence the press Spanish has not yet acceded to pieces of evidence, as have our French colleagues) or that launch would be delayed. "What consumers do not worry" seemed to be the message of substance.

Today, the PSA Group, comprising Peugeot and Citroen, has circulated an official statement by its president, Jean-Martin FOLZ, which we reproduce in full below:

"The Peugeot 607 will be irreproachable
Peugeot is a brand recognized by the exemplary behavior of their models. The Peugeot 607 is the flagship of the range, hence the ambition that we put in this car in terms of behavior on the road. The current period of pre is intended to put the final touches to our models and tests are used to achieve the highest quality standards. For a vehicle of the technological level of the Peugeot 607, the last settings play a major role.
I have full confidence in our ability to solve the problems we have encountered today. When the Peugeot 607 is marketed, their behavior on the road will be a benchmark in its class.

Along with all the teams working for Peugeot, I am committed to that. "'ll Keep you informed.

Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 170 bhp



Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 170 bhp

Peugeot returns to rely on the policy of alliances. Through an agreement with Ford, has developed a new propellant Diesel. It is the 2.2 HDi 170 bhp, a mechanic who already offers in the range Peugeot 407.

Now, comes to the family Peugeot 607 as an intermediate step in its range of diesel. The ideal spot for those that the 2.0 HDi 136 bhp they felt "down" but were not ready to hit the jump up to 2.7 HDi 204 bhp.

This new engine is notable for applying the technology of parallel sequential dual turbo. It is the first time that the mark is encouraged with her in a four-cylinder. Mounting the two peat, more torque is achieved at a wider margin of revolutions. According to official figures, 1,000 rpm and delivers 20.40 mkg. And beyond the 3,000 rpm, you'll still 36.22 mkg. The maximum torque is 37.8 mkg to 1,500 rpm.

You can imagine that the answer is secured. In addition, it comes at a very progressive and linear.

They also worry about polluting emissions and consumption. They have built an entirely new combustion chamber that lowers the amount of fuel burned and prevents heat loss. This technology has added a third-generation common rail and new piezoelectric injectors.

This machine is linked to a six-speed manual box, a transmission that is already offered in the 2.0 HDi, but which has been reinforced to withstand the increased torque.

Their numbers
0 to 100 km / h: 9.3 seconds
0 to 1,000 m: 30.2 seconds
Top speed: 224 km / h
Average consumption: 6.4 liters per 100 km
Recovery 80-120 in 5th: 8.6 seconds

Our assessment
The Peugeot 607 has already served six Anita. However, the firm is far from retired: works well commercially. For this reason, has decided to add this new Diesel, an intermediate step that, frankly, was much needed. Nearly nine out of ten buyers of this vehicle want a HDi, but the vast majority, it meant a terrible vertigo jump from the 136 to 204 hp (especially economically speaking).

Therefore, expect this new version captured 17 percent of sales of diesel models. Those who wager by rolling a soft, quiet and comfortable sound. Let us not forget that continues the same pattern holds for the rest of the range, a group that, according to the brand, make him a true gentleman of the highway. "

With its elegant forms and sosegadas, quintessence what should be a vehicle of representation: beautiful, large-scale and presence, capable of transmitting image of power and security.
None of this is missing in our player that also suggests a very attractive combination mechanics. We have chosen this time the 2.2 HDI engine with the gearbox of six speeds. It is an interesting mix of mechanical efficiency and fuel savings.

Peugeot 607 is a luxury sedan that, at least in Spain, does not have the same commercial wrench their German rivals. The truth is that after spending a weekend at his company, one does not know very well what may be the "discrimination". ?Both the brand matter?

Motor indefatigable
The propellant 2.2 HDI is a machine quite familiar, but why not unhelpful. It is a dedicated engine, quiet, delivery and total response always generous. Moving the voluminous body of Peugeot 607, HDI meets this: not that it's an example of wasteful acceleration or force, but neither can you put too many objections.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It has good low, needed for the launch of the 1642 kilograms of Peugeot. Then, his best time is about the 2,200 laps, while over 4,000 no longer appears much stronger, although the engine, willful, allows stretch still something more. According to our test bench is the maximum torque of 32.72 mkg 2,250 revolutions, a figure very interesting.
Even so, is the least powerful of its kind, where the minimum power is around 150 hp.

The gearbox six-speed has come to give a more restful to this engine. Now, efforts would cost less and was able to reduce noise and, above all, consumption, with a weighted average of 7.2 liters per 100 km.
This amount may seem very high for a Turbo, but we have to explain that is driven by consumption in the city (8.8 liters per 100 km). In the urban tracks, the weight of the car is crucial. In contrast, intercity roads has marked an average of 5.4 liters.

Continuing with the box, it is obligatory to note that its management is therefore a little difficult, because it is necessary to draw very well the movements of the lever so as not to err on the gear of any progress. We must also note that routes are long. Instead, the choice of development is very good.
Are happy to exploit the virtues of the third, perhaps the most brilliant of all progress, especially when the road was entangled in curves and slopes. It is a relationship in which the engine shows its full force and power comes on stream at the foot of the accelerator. Almost the same can point to the fourth, able to stretch a lot and provide a good sustained acceleration
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It's a perfect motion for speedy recoveries and overtaking when you need agility to move beyond the problems of traffic thick. Instead, we were fifth in a bit in no man's land: too long and overlaps with the sixth. The latter, inexhaustible, is designed to travel comfortably, saving and enjoying a relaxed driving. Has enough bellows and holds relatively well falls laps, which makes it ideal for the highway: if we care not to drop much the engine speed, we can make hundreds of kilometers without drawing the sixth.

Another thing is more uncomfortable on roads where the volume of the car will force us to work hard to change to keep pace. This is where the marches half, with his great ability to throw, will help us more.

Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 - Behavior and interior





Much ballast
Ton and a half long that weighs Peugeot 607 is the reference value at the time of analyzing how it behaves this car. When the roads are comfortable, with a suspension design which has prevailed in comfort, we found that most benefits. The car is comfortable, Aplomado, consistent and easy to shoot. The irregularities of the land disappear, engullidas by a suspension that filters and retains virtually all levels of comfort excellent. And yet our unit, with 17-inch wheels and tires around 225/50 Pirelli P 6000, offered a very low profile and this will reduce the capacity buffer to the set.
But at the time, springs and shock absorbers provide the necessary firmness to the big curves of the highways do not load fluctuations of the body.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

However, in areas tacks and complicated, the weight is particularly strong car and accuses it of such soft suspension. Tends to heel to go into the corners and to build, a problem that stems from the "tonnage". However, if one takes into account this fact, the route of the Peugeot 607 is impeccable, full of nobility and good behavior. Just find some levis movements of the rear axle support in a very strong side or in support of abrupt changes. If not much force the machine, not even appreciate these minimum landslides.

Which also felt the weight is on the brakes, which suffer harassment of the 1,600 kilos long and end up giving signs of weakness if they are required much work. Finally, the direction is not exactly very fast, but it is accurate, and that the steering wheel, very large, is not at all pleasant.

French luxury
And is that the steering wheel is the most questionable of the carrier. It uncomfortable for their large size joins the growing number of levers, as if they were the tines of a hedgehog, he had gone out. In our unit, were lined around the "thread" of the wiper controls, lights, cruise control and stereo controls. The fact is that these two levers are almost identical to the first two, so it is not difficult to play the "clean" when we want to change disk, or vice versa.

Apart from this, the interior enjoys a level of sophistication of France itself very vibrant and bright that it has created. There is much room for legs, shoulders and head, there are infinite possibilities of placement for the front seats (leather in our protagonist), there are several drawers and drawers ... There are, in short, almost everything, including a parasol rear curtain that opens and closes automatically.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

The center console, finished in leather and wood, has some controls a bit distant from the hands of the driver, a detail that bothers a bit, but, moreover, is a prodigy of good finishes and perfect manufacturing. The soundproofing is almost complete, and rolling, there is hardly any noise that might disturb. Since then, the engine barely be heard.

The boot, to complete the review, is a real cave, a cargo hold that opens with a button that is hidden in the numbers "0" of the Peugeot 607 logo that looks the bodywork. Inside, space for several large suitcases and hollow discs, the shipper of the CD, and so on. To close it, just push another button.

Equipment "high class"
Series, the Peugeot 607, finishing in the pack, which was the one who drove, carries an endowment that would like to do many of its prestigious German rivals. For a list of what's in paragraph mechanical and safety, there are ABS, a dozen airbags, Isofix anchorages, adaptive cruise control, stability control, rain sensor, folding mirrors and heated electrically, alloy wheels, 17 inches ...

For a list of comfort and luxury to stay there that much more space: electric front seats, stereo with six-CD charger, dual climate control, rear curtain parasol, chilled glove box, metallic paint, satellite navigator, leather upholstery, handles doors and mirrors in the color of the bodywork, leather steering wheel with audio controls, front and rear armrest ...

All that remained was for the section of the roof practicable options (910 euros, special wheels and tires (310 euros) and the automatic gearbox, which costs 1560 euros. Of the rest, there is everything.

As we can see, this is a really interesting vehicle. It offers an exceptional quality router, a good engine that spends very little equipment and a frontline that is combined with luxury finishes and a general level of great distinction. And all for a price of 39,100 euros, a fairly competitive price if we take into account how well the car goes, the very high burden of hardware that leads series that are expensive and their rivals when they put this whole team on top.

Comparison: Peugeot 607 V6 / Volvo S80 2.9



Comparison Peugeot 607 V6  Volvo S80 2.9

Membership of the segment saloons representation can only be done in compliance with total perfection in all the items that are considered essential to do so, as a distinguished aesthetics and marked character or a more prominent search to the comfort of its occupants.
Both with his Peugeot 607, as the Volvo S80 give the size in terms of meeting the requirements to be integrated in their own right in this club of distinction. Peugeot to time as it did not have representation of a saloon with the package that has this category and Peugeot 607.
Volvo takes more time inserted in the sector of the automotive world, thanks, among other things, to turn that in a few years has given its entire range.
Certainly the aesthetics of both models meet the prerequisites for its cataloging and representations.
Exterior dimensions rather generous lines of modern design and attractive, but without major concessions to the most radical modernism, a good range of equipment and a large list of options to be able to customize our vehicle.
Peugeot has done a good job for stylistic mask to some extent, which measures 4.87 meters this vehicle, but his view from any angle reveals that this is a big car.
Something similar happens with the Volvo, where the drawn lines of his body do not seem as big as it is actually, but while having a presence in high-level sedan. Another of the sections that "scores" when getting to this elite class is the presence of a mechanical cylinder with a high, a good dose of power and something more than the usual four-cylinder.
And note here also get our two protagonists, as their engines are nearly 3 liters engine capacity and six-cylinder, V with 210 hp for the Peugeot and in line for the Volvo 204 hp.
Peugeot 607
Certainly there are few negative points that can be put to both engines, not to say that none, because its performance is truly outstanding and their biggest differences are more for the kind of changing gears that lead, which by their mechanical performance. And for this there is nothing better than seeing the benefits offered by these two models.
Obviously having automatic change makes the recoveries that are more prominent, especially when going from 80 to 120 km / h, in which measurements are needed less than 7 seconds, a figure that can be seen as to make a really good overtaking quickly and safely. HIGHLIGHTS Volvo offers two possibilities in the automatic exchange S80, one conventional and another,
called Geartronic, with sequential actuation. Something similar happens with the accelerations, although in this case the numbers are not as good as the proportion of recoveries, but are consistent with that obtained in its category of vehicles and features. The differences between the two vehicles are practically nonexistent, moving in a range of places, both in terms of acceleration, as recoveries and overtaking.
Without a doubt, in a vehicle of these characteristics can not miss the presence of the automatic change, an element which, although not very respondent in our market, is slowly gaining followers. And is that their presence allows Driving a more relaxed and comfortable in urban areas, not in the least reduce the pleasure of driving on the road.
Volvo offers two possibilities in the automatic exchange S80, one conventional and another, called Geartronic, with sequential drive, while Peugeot, for its part, offers the kind of sequential shift automatic developed jointly with Renault, gifted in both models of four relationships change. The latter is one of the few drawbacks that can be attributed to these gearboxes, and that relationships are very long and there is a big jump between gears. The change of Peugeot has three separate laws of operation, normal, sport and winter, and, furthermore, has a system that adapts to a certain extent of the changes underway in the form of lead each. Like all systems that have sequential shift type, has two lanes, one in which the change does all the work automatically and another in which the driver is that, by moving the lever forward or back, and climbs low gears.
Also, as is customary in the sequential mode, the system goes up or down a gear that are necessary when we get closer to the cutting area or pisamos the throttle fully. The change of the Volvo is conventional, with a couple of actuation grid and to move from one position to another must be operating a latch. This is less "intelligent" than his rival, but also has a position to start in slippery areas. One of the main features of the change in the Peugeot is the smoothness with which makes changes underway in both acceleration and in off, so that virtually no notice that the system is doing its job. The following paragraph to be satisfied with the behavior on the road, because there is no point in having a spacious cab, a good power or a change that gives us the automatic transmission, if the chassis and suspensions are not at the height of the
rest of the elements, and in this case also met to perfection. The Peugeot 607 has an excellent chassis that allows fast circular form by tacking areas, despite their size and weight, with a high degree of safety.
The presence of elements such as stability control available-for-series also helps that the conduct of this model is really simple, easy and secure. The Volvo S80 also does not fall behind in this paragraph; its Driving is very simple, though the suspensions are somewhat softer than those of
Peugeot, so that in areas with many potholes it is more comfortable down the pace. In both cases the presence of an assisted steering too, something that, while a low speed and maneuvers are grateful makes when they move fast highway seeping too sensations felt that the driver at the wheel.
The section on brakes are settled on a good note, although the braking distances are not outstanding, the truth is that resistance to the hard work is high, something that is appreciated, and much, in models of this weight and with automatic change .
The last paragraph, which by no means least, which should provide a good note this type of vehicle is the comfort, and it does not disappoint on.
The internal dimensions are good, their posts Driving comfortable and have a good list of items for the comfort of its occupants. On this last point, Peugeot takes the top spot, counting, addition, with the incentive of a lower MSRP, an aspect often decisive for their choice, since differences between the two resulted in many of its paragraphs almost symbolic.
