The Revised Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi Is An Affordable MPV That Doesnt Compromise On Safety. By Andy Enright
The perfect family vehicle has yet to be invented but the current state of the art has a few basic requirements. First up is a diesel engine that serves up a healthy slug of torque combined with manageable fuel economy. The next prerequisite is space and lots of it. Enough space for a family of five or six and their gear is a good starter.
Finally, the vehicle should not skimp on safety equipment. A Euro NCAP five star rating is mandatory. Combine these requirements and youll end up with only a handful of credible contenders. Some will be very expensive indeed.
Then theres the Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi.
Granted, a two-litre engine doesnt sound like its going to have the lugging power to haul your family and their bags and if this were a petrol MPV, Id agree. The diesel engine fitted to this Peugeot has been revised of late to offer a little more in the way of power up 10bhp to 120bhp and the torque figure has also risen to 225lb/ft. This is the important bit as far as this engine is concerned. More torque equals more muscle at your disposal and thats what you need when youre faced with a big hill, an 807 thats loaded to the gunwales and a deadline to meet.
Lets put it this way, a Porsche Boxster manages 192lb/ft and a Mercedes E280 221lb/ft. Now youre starting to realise that this powerplant is no flyweight contender. Naturally, if you drive with a leaden right boot and a fully-loaded vehicle, its doubtful youll get within swatting distance of Peugeots claimed 40.9mpg combined fuel economy figure but this 807 is by no means a guzzler.
On a motorway run Peugeot quote a figure of 48.7mpg. Equally impressive for a vehicle of this size are the 807 2.0 HDis green credentials.
The 182g/km of carbon dioxide this model emits is the same as a 1.6-litre Ford Ka, a vehicle which, incidentally, cant match the 807s fuel figures. So youve more pulling power than a Porsche coupled with better efficiency than a citycar. Wheres the catch?
"The 807 2.0 HDi has more muscle than youd ever credit."
It certainly doesnt come with the upfront price. For a full-sized and rather well-equipped MPV, the 807 2.0-litre HDi isnt unduly dear. The range starts at 21,000 on the road for the S model, moving up through 22,790 for the SE with the range-topping Executive pitched at 24,160.
Even the entry-level model gets a CD stereo, digital air conditioning, a dash-mounted multifunction display screen and remote central locking, but the real party piece comes when you step up to the plusher derivatives. These feature electrically-operated sliding side doors which can be triggered via the key fob. If only they were a little quicker or the key fob had more range, the effect would be better but its still pretty slick stuff. They also remove the embarrassment of children opening rear doors into parked cars in public car parks.
When the 807 was first introduced, it was a radically different car to its predecessor - the frumpy 806 - as were the two other cars developed alongside it, Citroens C8 and the Fiat Ulysse. Since then however, the French company has gone the route of stealthy change, culminating in the most recent package of updates which came without significant change to pricing. The 807 is stuffed with safety equipment which has resulted in a creditable five-star Euro NCAP crash test rating. As well as the customary twin front airbags, the 807 gets side bags and curtain airbags for all three rows of seats, making it the first car in the world to feature this facility as standard.
Anti lock brakes with electronic brakeforce distribution and brake assist are fitted on every model. Recognising that driver distraction by children is a contributory factor in a growing proportion of accidents, Peugeot have fitted an ingenious retractable "child check" mirror. This allows the driver to keep a safe eye on the kids in the back or, alternatively, see what colour the little horrors would like the upholstery to be this week. Practicality is also a major plus. All three rows of seats are mounted on runners, which means that adjusting for optimal legroom is simplicity itself.
There are the usual zillion and one different combinations as to how you can arrange the seats and the front seats are even capable of swivelling to create what Peugeot call "a sitting room environment." Somewhat comically, they then append this with "when parked." The 807 excels at shoulder room but others offer more total legroom. As with any MPV, the rear seats are removable, but they are very heavy and even a minor error in aligning the feet with the runners to re-engage them will cause the seats to jam, requiring a hefty shoulder to free them again. As avant garde as it is, the 807 doesnt offer up a solution to the eternal MPV gripe that with all the seats in place, there isnt space for luggage. Perhaps Peugeot should offer subsidised roof boxes with every purchase.
