Successor Peugeot 407

The Peugeot 406 is a large family car that was produced

by French automaker Peugeot between 1995 and 2004. Available
in saloon, estate and coupé bodystyles with a choice of petrol or turbodiesel engines,
the 406 replaced the Peugeot 405 in Peugeot's lineup, and was itself replaced by
the Peugeot 407. It used the same platform as the Citroën Xantia, though without
that car's sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension system.

The project[edit]
The styling of the 406 is heavily influenced by its predecessor, the 405, which began
to be phased out from the 406's launch in September 1995, and eventually finished
production in Europe in 1997, when the last estate models were discontinued. United
Kingdom sales of the 406 began in February 1996.[2]
Initially, the car was available with 1.8 L and 2.0 L petrol and 1.9
L turbodiesel engines, followed by a turbocharged 2.0 petrol, 2.9 (2946 cc, badged
as a 3.0) V6 petrol, and 110 bhp 2.1 L turbodiesel. The diesel versions were very
popular, and the 406 became one of Europe's best selling diesel powered cars. [citation
needed]

The two door coupé, launched at the 1996 Paris Motor Show, was both designed and
manufactured by Italian design studio Pininfarina, with choices of a 2.0 L four cylinder
engine or a 3.0 L V6, and from 2001, a 2.2 L HDi diesel engine. On later models, a
2.2 L petrol engine was available. A total of 107,633 coupés were made.
The design was originally offered to Fiat by Pininfarina in about 1990, only for Fiat to
reject the design and design its own coupe. [3]
For its final year on sale in the United Kingdom, the model was simply called
the Peugeot Coupé, with the 406 branding dropped from the name. The 406 was
notably successful in the United Kingdom, having broken into the country's key fleet
sales market,[4] with a high percentage of units becoming company cars and taxis. [citation
needed]

In August 2002, a Peugeot 406 HDi set the world record for the longest distance
driven on a single tank of fuel. The car travelled
across Australia between Melbourne to Rockhampton, with a total distance of
2,348 km. [1] Peugeot - Fuel Economy World Records Knock-down kit versions of
the car were also built at the Yontrakit Industrial Factory in Lad Krabang, Bangkok,
Thailand.

The facelifted 406 sedan was introduced in February 1999, and safety, strength and
speed enhancements resulted in improved Euro NCAP performance. Where the old
406 had one star and a struck off star, the post facelift models gained three stars. [7]
The changes included the new and improved EW/DW Engine Family HDI with
greater power, torque and fuel efficiency along with increased refinement, making it
comparatively quiet for a diesel. A downside was an increase in the car's insurance
group from 9 to 12.[8]
The exterior look was amended as the 406 featured more pronounced ribs, clear
headlights, chrome trim and a new honeycomb grill. The rear lights were finished in
red with a strip of the car's paint colour across the centre.
The interior was also redesigned to improve comfort and space. New equipment
included automated digital climate control/air conditioning on most models except the
most basic and a multi function display for warning messages, trip computer, radio
and external temperature. There was a more extensive use of wooden trim, better
quality plastics, including soft touch plastics, and in addition some models received
electrically folding mirrors, with automatic headlights and wipers.
The top of the range Executive model was specified a ten speaker JBL sound
system, electrically adjusted and heated leather seats, a memory position for the
seats and mirrors, headlight washer jets, a rear sun blind, thicker carpeting, lights in
the sun visors, satellite navigation and ambient lighting.

Awards[edit]
The 406 was awarded 1997 What Car? Car of the Year, as well as 1997 and 2001
Caravan Club Towcar of the Year. It was also awarded Semperit Irish Car of the
Year for 1997, however, it lost out by a narrow margin of 15 points in the
1996 European Car of the Year award to the Fiat Bravo/Brava.

Motorsport[edit]
Laurent Aïello won the 1997 ADAC Deutsche Super Touren Wagen-Cup driving a
Peugeot 406 for Peugeot Esso. The 406 was also used in the British Touring Car
Championship between 1996 and 1998.
