6th December, 2005
Elegance, power and outstanding handling and
dynamics, the 407 Coupé is also distinguished by its high levels of passive
safety.
To illustrate this fact, the 407 Coupé has just scored a maximum 5 stars in
the most recent EuroNCAP test results, and has obtained a category record, with
a full 16 out of 16 points scored for the adult frontal impact score.
This exemplary performance results especially from the excellent behaviour of
the 407 structure, with dual track absorption of forces which have been adapted
to the Coupé body shell for frontal impacts, and to the lateral reinforcements
of the door and its surrounds. This assembly is perfectly assisted by the seven
air bags providing close contact protection, with one airbag located on the
steering column.
Scoring a total of 35 points which resulted in the 5-star result, the 407
Coupé was also awarded 4 stars for child protection and 2 stars for pedestrian
protection.
The 407 Coupé goes on sale in Australia during the first quarter of 2006, and will feature
high levels of active safety as standard such as ESP and ABS with EBFD, to
perfectly compliment its outstanding levels of passive safety.
