Peugeot 607 - car; photo wallpapers: The Peugeot 607 was launched in 1999 to replace the 605. It used its predecessor's chassis but had a far more modern and stylish bodyshell. The 2.2 and 3.0 petrol, and 2.5 diesel, engines were all completely new. Equipment levels were also high, with all models getting air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, airbags, anti-lock brakes and central locking as standard. Peugeot has always struggled to succeed with its executive cars outside its home market of France and the 607 continues this trend. Its sales are only a tiny fraction of those of the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class in most European markets. In its home market, it is often chosen for official usage, particularly as Renault's Vel Satis is considered too unconventional.
