Has the Peugeot 607 been discontinued?

Peugeot 607 has been discontinued. Here is the relevant information about the Peugeot 607: 1. Mid-size luxury sedan: The Peugeot 607 is a mid-size luxury sedan under the Peugeot brand. This car has a wheelbase of 2800 mm, with length, width, and height measuring 4902 mm, 1835 mm, and 1442 mm respectively. The Peugeot 607 was equipped with two engines: a 2.2-liter naturally aspirated engine and a 3.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. 2.

I checked the information, and the Peugeot 607 was indeed discontinued, with the official end of production in 2010. This model, which once competed with the BMW 5 Series, was sold in Europe for nearly a decade, from its launch in 2000 until its withdrawal in 2010. Now, it can only be found through the used car market. French flagship models were already rare in the domestic market, and I remember back then the showroom cars were placed in the most prominent positions at dealerships. Its unique rear window design was humorously nicknamed 'French bread tail' by car enthusiasts. If you're considering buying one, it's best to first check local repair shops specializing in French cars, as parts for older vehicles are hard to come by. However, those who have driven it often praise its hydraulic suspension tuning for its distinctive character, making high-speed cornering feel like gliding on rails.

The 607 has been out of production for a long time, with the last batch likely being around 2009. I previously looked into the reasons for its discontinuation, mainly because its sales couldn't support its flagship positioning, coupled with the high costs of emission upgrades. Its successor now is the 508, but the presence is completely on a different level. Occasionally seeing an old 607 on the road still feels quite stylish—those lion claw taillights have way more character than many new cars today. A neighbor used to have a diesel version that ran over 300,000 kilometers and was still going, though cold starts in winter sounded like a tractor. If buying used, watch out for hydraulic suspension failures—repairs can cost half the price of the car.

Discontinued a decade ago! I remember it was priced over 600,000 RMB when first introduced in China back in 2003, even more expensive than the Audi A6. Once saw a modified 607 collected by a car enthusiast at a classic car meet—that 3.0 V6 engine had great tuning potential, easily reaching 280 horsepower with an ECU remap. But spare parts for this car are a headache; if the headlight assembly fails, you'd have to wait for shipments from France. Most models seen in the used car market are the 2.2 diesel versions, which often have transmission issues. The Peugeot Museum still displays the concept 607 Féline, with its full leather interior looking far more luxurious than current models.

After 2007, it was gradually phased out of the market, with the last physical model seen being the 2008 version. What left a deep impression during the test drive back then was its fighter jet cockpit design, and the densely packed buttons on the steering wheel still look modern even by today's standards. A car mechanic told me that this car is most afraid of water damage—once the electronic modules are soaked, it's basically totaled. The used car price has now dropped to 30,000-40,000 RMB, but the refurbishment cost might exceed the car's value. Special reminder: check the steering column, as several members in the old car enthusiasts' group have encountered sticking issues. The suspension automatically lowers after parking and turning off the engine, but this feature is prone to malfunction in later stages.

Officially discontinued in 2010. Just the other day, I saw a rust-covered 607 at the scrapyard. The French do have a romantic approach to car-making, but they certainly don’t prioritize anti-corrosion. Among car enthusiasts, it’s widely believed that the earlier models (pre-2005) had better quality than the later ones. If you’re buying used, it’s recommended to look for cars from northern regions, as the rainy seasons in the south make the chassis particularly prone to rust. The center-fixed steering wheel feels awkward at first, but once you get used to it, it actually feels safer. Pay special attention to the high-pressure fuel pump and the hydraulic lines for the adaptive suspension—experienced mechanics often apply Vaseline to rubber parts to prevent aging. For maintenance, it’s best to use a Peugeot-specific diagnostic tool, as generic code readers are prone to false error reports.
