The Peugeot 807 is a minivan produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot between 2002 and 2008. Part of the first generation of Peugeot’s large MPV (Multi-Purpose Vehicle) offerings, the 807 was developed in collaboration with Fiat and Lancia, resulting in the closely related Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra. Designed to compete with established players like the Renault Espace and Volkswagen Sharan, the 807 aimed to provide a spacious and versatile vehicle for families, primarily targeting the European market. While not officially sold in the United States, understanding its specifications and features provides insight into the European MPV segment of the early 2000s.
Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi: An Overview
The 807, particularly the 2.0 HDi variant, represented Peugeot’s entry into the increasingly popular minivan segment. This model focused on practicality, offering a comfortable interior with flexible seating arrangements and a generous cargo capacity. The 2.0 HDi engine, a common choice in Europe for its fuel efficiency and torque, was designed to balance performance with economy, making the 807 a suitable option for long-distance family travel. The vehicle’s design prioritized passenger comfort and utility over sporty aesthetics, aligning with the needs of its target demographic.
Engine & Performance
The Peugeot 807 2.0 HDi is powered by a 1997 cc (121.86 cu. in.) inline-four cylinder diesel engine. This engine, designated RHW DW10ATED4, produces 107 horsepower (Hp) at 4000 rpm and 250 Newton-meters (184.39 lb.-ft.) of torque at 1750 rpm. The engine utilizes a turbocharger with an intercooler to enhance performance and efficiency. The diesel commonrail fuel injection system contributes to refined operation and improved fuel economy. The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is 16 kg/Hp, and its torque-to-weight ratio is 6.8 kg/Nm.
Performance figures indicate a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration time of 14.6 seconds, and a 0-60 mph time of 13.9 seconds. The maximum speed is rated at 174 km/h (108.12 mph). While not designed for outright speed, the engine provides adequate power for everyday driving and highway cruising, with the emphasis on fuel efficiency. Fuel consumption is rated at 9.4 l/100 km (25 US mpg) in urban conditions, 5.9 l/100 km (39.9 US mpg) on the extra-urban cycle, and 7.4 l/100 km (31.8 US mpg) combined.
Design & Features
The Peugeot 807 is a five-door minivan with a seating capacity of five passengers. Its body style is characterized by a practical, boxy shape designed to maximize interior space. The vehicle’s dimensions are 4730 mm (186.22 in.) in length, 1850 mm (72.83 in.) in width, and 1750 mm (68.9 in.) in height, with a wheelbase of 2825 mm (111.22 in.).
Key features of the 807 include a spacious interior with configurable seating, allowing for flexible cargo arrangements. The trunk space ranges from a minimum of 340 liters (12.01 cu. ft.) to a maximum of 3300 liters (116.54 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down. Safety features, typical for vehicles of this era, include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The 807 utilizes a hydraulic power steering system and a five-speed manual transmission. The suspension consists of a spring strut setup at the front and a coil spring arrangement at the rear. The vehicle rides on 215/65 R15 tires.
