At the rear, both seats also have a fashionable "bucket seat" design offering effective support and a dynamic visual appeal. Curved, retractable head restraints guarantee rear visibility when the seats are unoccupied. Between the seats, a central armrest contributes to passenger well-being.



Inside the car

The "Touring" atmosphere offered to passengers inside Peugeot 407 coupe is also the result of the appearance of the passenger compartment in terms of brightness, ambient feel and soundproofing.

For example, the front windscreen and side windows are manufactured from laminated glass that limits the transmission of outside noise into the interior. They supplement the rigorous soundproofing treatment accorded to the vehicle. In addition, athermic treatment of the front windscreen reduces temperature build-up caused by the sun's rays and optimises the efficiency of the air conditioning, while ensuring a high level of brightness inside the passenger compartment.

All coupes come with automatic air conditioning with dual zone temperature distribution. This follows the example of better equipped existing Peugeot 407s. The air conditioning system uses modern technologies such as a temperature sensor and a hygrometer, which prevents the appearance of condensation for example. The "externally controlled" compressor can regulate the production of cold air to the exact amount required by passengers, thereby reducing fuel consumption. The bi-directional sunshine sensor helps to anticipate the effects of the sun's rays, thereby avoiding unnecessary changes by passengers to the adjustment settings.

In addition to the traditional upper, front and lower air vents, the fascia panel distribution system features a gentle air diffuser to shield passengers from the unpleasantness of excessive airflows. Rear passengers have their own air vents located at the end of the central console. Upstream of the air conditioning system, filtration of pollen, dust and certain unpleasant odours are provided by a combined pollen/active charcoal filter.



Audio and telematics

Peugeot 407 Coupe features the audio and telematic systems introduced on Peugeot 407 saloon and SW. They benefit from a dual-tuner and dual-antenna system that amply meets customers' requirements in terms of reception and sound reproduction. Controls under the steering wheel and the multi-function display facilitate use of the equipment generally.

All coupes receive the latest-generation RD4 equipment as standard.

The RD4 unit includes, in addition to the two silk-screen antennas in the rear windscreen, six speakers and a digital signal processor (DSP). With an output of 4x15 W, the radio includes dual connection shielding to neutralise sources of crackle. It also includes digital radio hardware compatibility, making it possible to listen to the radio with "CD" quality and present FM stations in list mode, as well as text radio, a CD-text displaying the title of the album and the tracks being listened to, etc.

Combined with the HiFi kit, the RD4 becomes an MP3 player. In addition, a hands-free kit (blue tooth) is available as an option.

It is also possible to equip the car with a GPS-RT4 radio-telephone with a 16/9 colour display. This includes the same functions as the RD4 but receives in addition a GSM-GPS antenna, a voice command directory allowing management of phone numbers and correspondent addresses, colour cartography navigation, a video input and emergency telematics services such as local assistance.

A JBL HIFI system available as an option on the first level of finish comes as standard on level 2. This system, developed at the design stage of the coupe, offers optimal sound reproduction for the passenger compartment. It includes the layout and orientation of different speakers, as well as calibrated amplification associated with these locations. A CD auto-changer is available as standard or as an option.
