What’s new:
Peugeot has fitted the 165PS 2.2-litre petrol to its stylish 407 Coupe, making it the most tax-efficient version available (even better than the 2.7 diesel).

Excellent

It may be the least expensive and slowest (on paper), but it’s easily the most enjoyable to drive. The 2.2 engine is smooth and willing.

Good

BIK comes in at 30% or £242 a month for a 40% tax-payer for the £24,225 2.2 SE.

Average

It may be better looking than a BMW 3-series, but the Peugeot lags the premium brand on

Poor

Dashboard styling is standard (scattered) Peugeot and doesn’t look as special as the exterior.

Verdict

Easily our favourite 407 Coupe, and possibly our favourite Peugeot on sales today.
