If you need a big, well-equipped car with a great diesel engine, you probably havent considered Peugeot's 2.2-litre diesel 607. Youre not the only one. Andy Enright reports on why this car is criminally underrated
Permit me to let you into a secret. Most of the guys who work as motoring journalists would give almost anything to be successful racing drivers. Any press launch that includes track work will see them putting on their fast shoes and eyeing lines into corners that will shave a few tenths off their lap times. There are exceptions but most of us journos love cars that prioritise performance and handling.
After all, they sell magazines and newspapers. Sometimes its worth remembering that theres a real world out there where owners arent staring gimlet-eyed past their Sparco driving gloves as they heel and toe into a double apex right. A real world where cars like the Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi170 actually work very well.
Youd never know it based on column inches but cars like the 607 are incredibly fit for their task, a task which involves mopping up big mileages reliably and comfortably: they just dont make great copy. Instead of being lauded for its refinement, equipment and comfort, the 607 gets slated because its a little cumbersome when thrown into a hairpin. Its a bit like moaning that a Lamborghini cant carry a pallet of roof tiles. The 2.
2-litre engine that Peugeot has fitted to the latest 607 elevates its abilities still further. There are now just three 607 models available, Peugeot having given the range a rather drastic haircut. The entry level car is the 2.0HDi, the range-topper is the 3.
0 V6 and sitting between the two is this 2.2-litre diesel. The French company has priced the 2.2-litre car at 26,495, although they may well quietly offer some pretty hefty discounts and you wont have to get your dealer in a half-nelson to attain them.
"As a nation were supposed to like rooting for the underdog. Why the rough ride given to the 607 then?"
The 2.2-litre engine is a real technological tour de force. The first four-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine in a production car, this powerplant is managed by a parallel sequential induction system to ensure that there are none of those annoying lag and lunge power delivery characteristics that often afflict highly-tuned turbodiesel cars. It also serves to broaden the amount of useable torque.
Drive an early performance turbodiesel such as a VW Golf TDI150 and youll have a window of about 750rpm of real go, requiring frantic gearchanging and footwork on the pedals that would put Michael Flatley to shame. These days, you get more power and a broader rev range in which to enjoy it. Whats more, its available at lower engine speeds too, adding to the cars muscular feel. With this 2.
2-litre engine, the maximum torque figure of 277lb/ft chimes in at just 1,500rpm, which means that when youre pulling away from the lights or nipping out from a junction or onto a roundabout, youve got all the engines capability on tap. The twin turbos work one after the other rather than both at the same time. A low inertia blower operates up to 2,700rpm, giving that instant urge. When things are really cooking, the cars computer switches to a second smaller unit that fills in the power requirements at the top end.
