The Peugeot 807 is a people carrier (minivan) that was produced by the French manufacturer from 1995 to 2004. It was designed as a replacement for the Peugeot 604 and was initially offered with three body styles: a five-door estate, a five-door multi-purpose vehicle, and a seven-seat version.
The 807 had a front-wheel drive layout and was based on a modified version of the Peugeot 605 platform. Its wheelbase spanned 2,775 mm (109.4 in), providing ample interior space for passengers and cargo. The overall length measured 4,590 mm (180.7 in), while its height stood at 1,765 mm (69.5 in) with a width of 1,855 mm (73.0 in).
Initially powered by a range of petrol engines including a 2.0-liter inline-four and a 3.0-liter V6 unit, the 807 also received a 2.2-liter HDi diesel engine option later in its production cycle. The power outputs varied between the different trim levels but typically ranged from 90 to 170 horsepower (66-127 kW).
The Peugeot 807 boasted an impressive interior space with features such as individual seats for all three rows, ample cargo capacity behind the third row, and a spacious boot area that could be easily accessed via a side-hinged rear door or through a large tailgate. Safety features were gradually integrated into later models, including dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and electronic stability control.
Over its lifespan, the 807 underwent various facelifts to enhance its design, comfort, and technology offerings. The first facelift occurred in 2000, introducing minor cosmetic changes as well as interior refinements. A second facelift took place in 2002, which led to more significant updates including a revised front-end appearance.
The Peugeot 807 was known for its robust construction, comfort-oriented ride quality, and strong engine options. It played an important role in Peugeot's line-up during the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly targeting families and private buyers seeking practicality and space without sacrificing driving dynamics.
Key specifications of the Peugeot 807 include:
- Engine sizes: 2.0-liter inline-four, 3.0-liter V6 (petrol), 2.2-liter HDi (diesel)
- Power outputs: up to 170 horsepower (127 kW)
- Transmission options: Manual or Automatic
- Seating capacity: Up to seven passengers depending on configuration
- Cargo space: Approximately 1,000 liters behind the third row, expandable to about 3,600 liters when all rear seats are folded.
The production of the Peugeot 807 was phased out in 2004 as part of a wider strategy by Peugeot to focus on more compact and stylish vehicles. Despite its discontinuation, the 807 remains notable for its blend of practicality and comfort within the people carrier segment during that period.
