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

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. "

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

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.

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.
