Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 170 bhp

Peugeot returns to rely on the policy of alliances. Through an agreement with Ford, has developed a new propellant Diesel. It is the 2.2 HDi 170 bhp, a mechanic who already offers in the range Peugeot 407.

Now, comes to the family Peugeot 607 as an intermediate step in its range of diesel. The ideal spot for those that the 2.0 HDi 136 bhp they felt "down" but were not ready to hit the jump up to 2.7 HDi 204 bhp.

This new engine is notable for applying the technology of parallel sequential dual turbo. It is the first time that the mark is encouraged with her in a four-cylinder. Mounting the two peat, more torque is achieved at a wider margin of revolutions. According to official figures, 1,000 rpm and delivers 20.40 mkg. And beyond the 3,000 rpm, you'll still 36.22 mkg. The maximum torque is 37.8 mkg to 1,500 rpm.

You can imagine that the answer is secured. In addition, it comes at a very progressive and linear.

They also worry about polluting emissions and consumption. They have built an entirely new combustion chamber that lowers the amount of fuel burned and prevents heat loss. This technology has added a third-generation common rail and new piezoelectric injectors.

This machine is linked to a six-speed manual box, a transmission that is already offered in the 2.0 HDi, but which has been reinforced to withstand the increased torque.

Their numbers
0 to 100 km / h: 9.3 seconds
0 to 1,000 m: 30.2 seconds
Top speed: 224 km / h
Average consumption: 6.4 liters per 100 km
Recovery 80-120 in 5th: 8.6 seconds

And small touches
Peugeot takes the arrival of the new engine to give a little change of image to the range. The Peugeot 607 groups debuts new optical back now, ruby color and more transparent.

Our assessment
The Peugeot 607 has already served six Anita. However, the firm is far from retired: works well commercially. For this reason, has decided to add this new Diesel, an intermediate step that, frankly, was much needed. Nearly nine out of ten buyers of this vehicle want a HDi, but the vast majority, it meant a terrible vertigo jump from the 136 to 204 hp (especially economically speaking).

Therefore, expect this new version captured 17 percent of sales of diesel models. Those who wager by rolling a soft, quiet and comfortable sound. Let us not forget that continues the same pattern holds for the rest of the range, a group that, according to the brand, make him a true gentleman of the highway. "

Strike guards covered parking

After the attacks that occurred this morning in the Spanish capital, from Highway Online not know the extent of this strike between the guards of covered parking.

Various media opened its local pages today inviting Madrid to park for free in the capital, and in principle, the police would not be fined. Like all emergency services and security forces in Madrid and the surrounding provinces are concentrated in relief to the hundreds of injured and the evacuation of more than 170 dead, according to provisional figures from the National Court, has not been conducted any follow-up to this strike.

The workers are demanding an increase of SER's salary (paid about 600 euros per month) and an improvement in working conditions (reducing hours). According to representatives of these employees, in cities like Barcelona, Valencia and Pamplona is charged for this same job some 1,100 euros.

In any event, the Madrid City Council has announced that failure to resolve the situation, terminate the contract with the concessionaires of this service (Setex-Sufi, and Eysa Dornier).

The strike committee have announced more days of unemployment for this month: 17, 24 and 25.

Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 - Motor and change

If what you are looking for a car wide, comfortable, to travel without problems and that, furthermore, provides distinction and a high level of comfort, the Peugeot 607 is an option that should not be ignored.

The Peugeot saloon is a perfect example of refinement that has been reaching the French automotive, which rivals in luxury and levels of equipment with the German. However, the market, at least in Spanish, still not smiling openly these cars Gauls. The Peugeot 607, the Vel Satis ... With the honorable exception of the C5, which is defended, everyone else has gone from stumbling into setback in our country. And that arguments that sales were not missing.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

The Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 hp is a clear example of this wonderful creative moment that passes through the high segment in France. With its elegant forms and sosegadas, quintessence what should be a vehicle of representation: beautiful, large-scale and presence, capable of transmitting image of power and security.
None of this is missing in our player that also suggests a very attractive combination mechanics. We have chosen this time the 2.2 HDI engine with the gearbox of six speeds. It is an interesting mix of mechanical efficiency and fuel savings.

Peugeot 607 is a luxury sedan that, at least in Spain, does not have the same commercial wrench their German rivals. The truth is that after spending a weekend at his company, one does not know very well what may be the "discrimination". ?Both the brand matter?

Motor indefatigable
The propellant 2.2 HDI is a machine quite familiar, but why not unhelpful. It is a dedicated engine, quiet, delivery and total response always generous. Moving the voluminous body of Peugeot 607, HDI meets this: not that it's an example of wasteful acceleration or force, but neither can you put too many objections.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It has good low, needed for the launch of the 1642 kilograms of Peugeot. Then, his best time is about the 2,200 laps, while over 4,000 no longer appears much stronger, although the engine, willful, allows stretch still something more. According to our test bench is the maximum torque of 32.72 mkg 2,250 revolutions, a figure very interesting.
Even so, is the least powerful of its kind, where the minimum power is around 150 hp.

The gearbox six-speed has come to give a more restful to this engine. Now, efforts would cost less and was able to reduce noise and, above all, consumption, with a weighted average of 7.2 liters per 100 km.
This amount may seem very high for a Turbo, but we have to explain that is driven by consumption in the city (8.8 liters per 100 km). In the urban tracks, the weight of the car is crucial. In contrast, intercity roads has marked an average of 5.4 liters.

Continuing with the box, it is obligatory to note that its management is therefore a little difficult, because it is necessary to draw very well the movements of the lever so as not to err on the gear of any progress. We must also note that routes are long. Instead, the choice of development is very good.
Are happy to exploit the virtues of the third, perhaps the most brilliant of all progress, especially when the road was entangled in curves and slopes. It is a relationship in which the engine shows its full force and power comes on stream at the foot of the accelerator. Almost the same can point to the fourth, able to stretch a lot and provide a good sustained acceleration
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

It's a perfect motion for speedy recoveries and overtaking when you need agility to move beyond the problems of traffic thick. Instead, we were fifth in a bit in no man's land: too long and overlaps with the sixth. The latter, inexhaustible, is designed to travel comfortably, saving and enjoying a relaxed driving. Has enough bellows and holds relatively well falls laps, which makes it ideal for the highway: if we care not to drop much the engine speed, we can make hundreds of kilometers without drawing the sixth.

Another thing is more uncomfortable on roads where the volume of the car will force us to work hard to change to keep pace. This is where the marches half, with his great ability to throw, will help us more.

Peugeot 607 2.2 HDI 136 vel CV 6 - Behavior and interior

Much ballast
Ton and a half long that weighs Peugeot 607 is the reference value at the time of analyzing how it behaves this car. When the roads are comfortable, with a suspension design which has prevailed in comfort, we found that most benefits. The car is comfortable, Aplomado, consistent and easy to shoot. The irregularities of the land disappear, engullidas by a suspension that filters and retains virtually all levels of comfort excellent. And yet our unit, with 17-inch wheels and tires around 225/50 Pirelli P 6000, offered a very low profile and this will reduce the capacity buffer to the set.
But at the time, springs and shock absorbers provide the necessary firmness to the big curves of the highways do not load fluctuations of the body.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

However, in areas tacks and complicated, the weight is particularly strong car and accuses it of such soft suspension. Tends to heel to go into the corners and to build, a problem that stems from the "tonnage". However, if one takes into account this fact, the route of the Peugeot 607 is impeccable, full of nobility and good behavior. Just find some levis movements of the rear axle support in a very strong side or in support of abrupt changes. If not much force the machine, not even appreciate these minimum landslides.

Which also felt the weight is on the brakes, which suffer harassment of the 1,600 kilos long and end up giving signs of weakness if they are required much work. Finally, the direction is not exactly very fast, but it is accurate, and that the steering wheel, very large, is not at all pleasant.

French luxury
And is that the steering wheel is the most questionable of the carrier. It uncomfortable for their large size joins the growing number of levers, as if they were the tines of a hedgehog, he had gone out. In our unit, were lined around the "thread" of the wiper controls, lights, cruise control and stereo controls. The fact is that these two levers are almost identical to the first two, so it is not difficult to play the "clean" when we want to change disk, or vice versa.

Apart from this, the interior enjoys a level of sophistication of France itself very vibrant and bright that it has created. There is much room for legs, shoulders and head, there are infinite possibilities of placement for the front seats (leather in our protagonist), there are several drawers and drawers ... There are, in short, almost everything, including a parasol rear curtain that opens and closes automatically.
Peugeot 607 2.2 HDi 136 hp

The center console, finished in leather and wood, has some controls a bit distant from the hands of the driver, a detail that bothers a bit, but, moreover, is a prodigy of good finishes and perfect manufacturing. The soundproofing is almost complete, and rolling, there is hardly any noise that might disturb. Since then, the engine barely be heard.

The boot, to complete the review, is a real cave, a cargo hold that opens with a button that is hidden in the numbers "0" of the Peugeot 607 logo that looks the bodywork. Inside, space for several large suitcases and hollow discs, the shipper of the CD, and so on. To close it, just push another button.

Equipment "high class"
Series, the Peugeot 607, finishing in the pack, which was the one who drove, carries an endowment that would like to do many of its prestigious German rivals. For a list of what's in paragraph mechanical and safety, there are ABS, a dozen airbags, Isofix anchorages, adaptive cruise control, stability control, rain sensor, folding mirrors and heated electrically, alloy wheels, 17 inches ...

For a list of comfort and luxury to stay there that much more space: electric front seats, stereo with six-CD charger, dual climate control, rear curtain parasol, chilled glove box, metallic paint, satellite navigator, leather upholstery, handles doors and mirrors in the color of the bodywork, leather steering wheel with audio controls, front and rear armrest ...

All that remained was for the section of the roof practicable options (910 euros, special wheels and tires (310 euros) and the automatic gearbox, which costs 1560 euros. Of the rest, there is everything.

As we can see, this is a really interesting vehicle. It offers an exceptional quality router, a good engine that spends very little equipment and a frontline that is combined with luxury finishes and a general level of great distinction. And all for a price of 39,100 euros, a fairly competitive price if we take into account how well the car goes, the very high burden of hardware that leads series that are expensive and their rivals when they put this whole team on top.

New Tram accident in Barcelona

The controversy continues with the new tram in Barcelona. The so-called Trambaix, which is currently circulating on a trial basis, collided again yesterday against a car on the road from Collblanc, with the street corner by Tomas Gimenez, in the town of L'Hospitalet. In fact, is the third accident to occur at this point in the journey, but the first after installing the new signs.

The incident occurred because of a recklessness. The driver of a BMW made a turn to the left, despite the two large traffic signs that prohibit them, and finally collided squarely with the tram. In addition, municipal sources have confirmed that at this point of the road, there is a great grill painted yellow prohibiting stop at the intersection, a circumstance that avoided the driver of the vehicle.

Until now, all accidents recorded in the Trambaix have occurred after the drivers of passenger cars have not respected the rules of the road. The Metropolitan Transport responsible for ensuring that all parts of accidents have been processed through friendly, after recognition of guilt of drivers.

According to municipal sources reported, nine of the crashes were due to improper turns from cars. That's why this week the authorities have begun to place new signs at roundabouts, old turns to the left and pedestrian zones.

Peugeot 607 HDI 2.2 6V

The Peugeot 607 was launched three years ago and he stood in his Peugeot entry, despite being a generalist brand, in the Mount Olympus of high performance and luxury inhabited by the trio of classics Mercedes, Audi and BMW. With 100,000 units sold, the brand their economic performance qualifies as a real success, but the fact is that the perception of Peugeot brand as "premium" has only been translated into French, her native market. Today, the Peugeot 607 remains a good vehicle, even with the glory of having been the first to apply the technology of the particulate filter and able to give many joys to its creators. Perhaps for that reason, they have decided to expand their range and improve its mechanical performance by applying to version 2.2 HDI a stick shift six-speed that replaces the 5-relations, maintaining this number of marches in the automatic self-use and also Tiptronic sequential.

HIGHLIGHTS

Available in the coming weeks at dealerships, the Peugeot 607 HDI 2.2 6V will be sold with two output prices, according to the finish chosen: 34,280 and 39,500 euros.

With an engine capacity of 2179 cm3, the HDI of 2.2 and 16-valve four-cylinder, turbo has a variable geometry and particulate filter that traps and then burned, with significant benefits in emissions and maintenance which will be has now stretched to 120,000 km. It develops 136 hp at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 32 mkg at 2,000 rpm, reaching 100 km / h in 11.5 seconds. Its top speed is 205 km / h and the availability of torque at low speed allows you to shoot with total credit at low revolutions, saving fuel (6.6 liters per 100 km in mixed Click) and improve the comfort of walking. The instrumentation includes a pilot to alert the driver if the vehicle is over, even on time, the emission regulations. The new box holds the same as the 5-speed, and this allows to keep the same turning radius.

For the user, the new motion brings in a more relaxing drive and a power reserve to ensure the maximum convenience excellent performance with a tread. Attaining high speed cruising on track with wide curves and smooth radio firm is easy and safe and added an undoubted pleasure to drive daily.
Pressing the zero of the logo "Peugeot 607" opens the hood it automatically.

In addition to this new box, the range now has Peugeot 607 new features, without surcharge for the client. In passive safety, you now have side airbags for rear seat, in complement with curtain airbags, which already exist. As of comfort equipment, opening and closing of the boot have been automated with a drive also very simple (a specific button on the remote or the scratch of the logo "Peugeot 607" stuck on the bonnet). Exterior mirrors automatically fold now and, like the interior, are electrocromicos, a technology that prevents glare and the buyer can optionally. Finally, the optional Bluetooth handsfree kit, with the recognition and automatic connection between a mobile phone compatible with this wireless technology and the car. Only by bringing the mobile above it is possible to call and have a conversation through the speakers of the radio and continued to exit the car and use all the functions of mobile browsing your menus through the car's multifunction display. They also have been small changes that improve the aesthetics of the vehicle, such as tires "arctique" aluminum 17-inch, a new type of coating for velvet and leather seats with the new key "cobalt blue."

Comparison: BMW 520i / Peugeot 607 2.2

With saloons mean increasingly large and powerful, is getting more difficult to survive the basic versions of large saloons. This, coupled with the increasingly estrangulantes antipollution regulations, has guided the path of these mechanical path towards higher engine capacity. This has been understood both as BMW and Peugeot, to motorize their representatives more content in the chapter of gasoline, have come up to 2.2 liters of displacement. This small peak-two liters and "peak" - does wonders, since it allows exceeded the barrier of 150 bhp with ease and provides few extras mkg, without forcing a little progressive torque curve, making these engines in a relatively close pass to the next, normally a 6-cylinder engine from 175 to 200 hp. In fact, BMW uses the classic six in line of the mark, appropriately updated, its high engine capacity up to 2.2 liters. Opposite him, his extrapolated Peugeot four-cylinder up to Cubic still higher than the BMW and install two trees for balancing the vibrations that contain pieces of alternative ratios are produced.

The operation of the two is mechanics ties with the softness so obvious. The BMW lives up to its fame and touring as an electric motor, fine and progressive. The Peugeot left guessing some small vibration on the steering wheel, perceptible only with extreme care, but it is nevertheless a good reflection of the wonders that can do some axis contrarrotantes.

HIGHLIGHTS

The French engine is significantly stronger that its German rival.

Faced pistons piston, the surprise is not small when it is found that the French engine is significantly stronger that its German rival, as always paradigm of energy use. But figures obtained by our test bench dictate that pushed the four-cylinder with just over six in the forcefulness that line. And that it has an invaluable ally in a gearbox with developments that appear to have been chosen by a team competition, as it is not wasted no rpm single in the fifth and the jumps between gears are impeccable. The Peugeot does not leave anything to chance, and despite a touch of the lever less satisfactory than that of BMW, the transmission also takes a perfectly the potentials of the propellant.

The benefits, therefore, are not particularly different. In acceleration, the BMW is faster because of better motor skills, not skating in the first few meters, but in recoveries and overtaking, the Peugeot puts things in place, according to its mechanics over par. At the time consuming, parity is also the situation closer to reality and will have more influence on driving style than the thirst for both mechanical.

A time to take advantage of these resources away from straight lines, both models show some ways more than good. The BMW, with its stability control, and limiting the excesses of the driver, but even without it connected, the frame shows a refinement of the first, with an excellent balance that we can only break into a very closed angles based on an excessive use of accelerator. Even in these situations, control of derrapaje is easy, thanks to the excellent design of the chassis. The Peugeot, meanwhile, is revealed as a true representative of the mark. Despite its size, the liveliness is the sensation of its main wheel. The front axle has a major bearing directional and the mandates of the driver are performed promptly and accurately. The train rear-caste comes to the greyhound, demonstrates an unusual flexibility in this segment. The changes that mark the place in the suspensions before the commercial release have not killed one of the characteristics which for three decades have been regarded as one of the most outstanding virtues of the brand and, now, from certain sectors, it looks like one of its most repudiated defects. In our view, the behavior of Peugeot 607 would be almost perfect if it had been incorporated in this release, the stability control system that limited the point of excess in the rear of the train reaction that some drivers may find surprisingly quiet court in situations limit. In any case, and outside them, the large model of Peugeot is so stable, or more than its rival in this comparative and their speed of passage through the curves are virtually identical.
The Peugeot could only look with envy at BMW in a matter of tact in the conduct and use.
Comfort behind the wheel
Since we are talking about equality, opening the door of the Peugeot we find ourselves with an overview of the most positive. Never the presentation of a model of signing the lion had gone so high, with superb visual quality of materials and to completion of the first. The interior space and design of the driving position leave no room for criticism, being comfortable rather than a chapter spoiled. Quiet, non-Vibrating with damping effect of double-soft low-frequency oscillations and more rigid at high speed and highly-equipped, the Peugeot could only look with envy at BMW in a matter of TACT in the conduct and use. That provided the firmness calculated that BMW has chosen for his leadership-520i, however, closing the doors, and so on. .- Is seen as superior quality compared to the Softness that characterized the Peugeot. The goal more difficult to hand Peugeot 607 with this is to believe in advance to those who have 6 million pesetas ready to be spent in a car, placed on the balance 520 and Peugeot 607, virtually in balance in the horizontal. We are willing to AFFIRM it, but our experience shows that in a country like ours, most of them invest their money in a model, the 5 Series, so with excellence and a reputation as settled as the Bavarian brand has managed to Hoard.
