Vehicles tested after 1 January 2008 will require Electronic Stability Control in order achieve a 5 star rating. This vehicle was tested prior to this date and may or may not meet this new requirement.
Important note: The left-hand-drive European model was tested by Euro NCAP. Australasian specifications may vary and therefore models sold in Australasia might provide different levels of protection to those described on this page.
The tested model of Peugeot 407 Coupe was introduced in Australia during 2006. Available engines are 2.9L petrol and 2.7L diesel.
Dual front airbags, side airbags and head-protecting side curtains are standard equipment. ABS/EBD brakes, electronic stability control, active head restraints and tyre pressure sensors are also standard. Advanced seat belt reminders are fitted to both front seats.
The front seat belt buckles are mounted on the seats and the upper anchorages are adjustable. These features improve the fit of the seat belt. Pre-tensioners are fitted to the front seat belts to reduce slack in the event of a crash. Three point seat belts are fitted to both rear seats.
 The 407 Coupe scored a perfect 16 out of 16 in the offset crash test. The passenger compartment held its shape. There was good protection from serious injury for both the driver and passenger.
The vehicle scored 15.41 out of 16 in the side impact crash test. There was a slight risk of serious chest injury for the driver. A further 2 points were scored in the optional pole test.
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head/neck 4 pts, chest 4 pts, upper legs 4 pts, lower legs 4 pts.
The passenger compartment held its shape well in the offset crash test. The brake pedal moved rearwards by 17 mm and downwards 6mm. The steering wheel hub moved forwards 31mm, upwards 10 mm and sideways 5mm. The front ("A") pillar moved 4 mm rearwards. All doors remained closed during the crash. After the crash all doors could be opened with normal effort.
The airbag cushioned the head of the driver and contact was stable. There were no knee hazards. The passenger's head was cushioned by the airbag.
Body region scores out of 4 points each: Head 4 pts, chest 3.41 pts, abdomen 4 pts, pelvis 4 pts.
The vehicle was eligible for an optional pole impact test, since it had head-protecting side airbags and scored four points for the head in the side impact test. The manufacturer decided to go ahead with the pole test and the vehicle earned a further two points.
