Petrol Engine Performance:
2.0L 16V (136-143 hp), 3.0L V6 24V (204-210 hp)
Diesel Engine Performance:
2.0L HDi (136 hp), 2.2L HDi (136-170 hp)
Petrol Fuel System:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI), electronic engine management system (ECU).
Diesel Fuel System:
Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi), often with Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) on later models and some engine variants.
Common Engine Codes:
EW10J4 (2.0L Petrol), ES9J4S (3.0L V6 Petrol), DW10ATED (2.0L HDi), DW10BTED4 (2.0L HDi FAP), DW12TED4 (2.2L HDi), DW12BTED4 (2.2L HDi FAP).
Standard Transmission:
Typically a 5-speed manual transmission (e.g., BE4 for 4-cylinder engines) or a 4-speed automatic transmission (e.g., AL4 for 4-cylinder engines).
Optional Transmission:
A 6-speed automatic transmission (e.g., AW6HP26) was available for V6 models. Some higher-performance diesel variants might have also offered the 6-speed manual transmission.
Transmission Features:
Automatic transmissions often featured a 'sport' or 'snow' mode for adjusted performance. Manual transmissions provided a more engaging driving experience. The manual covers maintenance, repair, and diagnostics for all offered transmission types.
Exterior Dimensions:
Length: ~4800-4900 mm, Width: ~1800-1830 mm, Height: ~1450-1470 mm. Specific dimensions vary slightly by engine and trim.
Interior Dimensions:
Designed for spaciousness, offering generous legroom and headroom for front and rear occupants, characteristic of a large executive sedan.
Cargo Capacity:
Trunk volume typically around 500 liters, providing ample luggage space for a vehicle in this class.
Curb Weight:
Approximately 1500-1750 kg, depending on engine, transmission, and equipment.
Safety Ratings:
The 607 achieved a 4-star Euro NCAP rating in its initial testing. Later models benefitted from enhancements and potentially updated testing protocols.

Connectivity:
Features like Bluetooth hands-free calling and voice control were introduced or enhanced in later iterations or facelifted models.
Service Intervals:
Typical intervals are every 15,000-20,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, for oil changes and general checks. Timing belt replacement is crucial, usually around 120,000 km or 10 years for petrol engines and potentially longer for diesel engines depending on the specific engine code. Consult the manual for precise intervals for each engine.
Engine Oil Specification:
Refer to the manual for specific viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-40, 0W-30) and API/ACEA ratings based on engine type and climate. Peugeot's own specifications like PSA B71 2294 or B71 2296 are common.
