The Peugeot 607 is a full-size sedan automobile produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot since 1999.

Thr 607 was launched in 1999, to replace the 605. It used its predecessor's chassis but had an all-new, more modern exterior design. The engine range - 2.2 and 3.0 petrol, and 2.2 diesel - were completely new. Equipment levels were also high, with all models getting air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, airbags, anti-lock brakes and central locking as standard.

However, since it began selling executive class cars in 1975 Peugeot has always struggled to succeed and the 607 has continued this trend. In most European markets outside of France, sales are only a tiny fraction of those of the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. In its home market, it is often chosen for official usage, particularly as Renault's Vel Satis is considered too unconventional.

The 607 was restyled in 2004, most notable modifications being the new front end and the 2.7 HDi V6 engine engine, capable of more than 200 bhp, and mated to a new 6-speed automatic gearbox, which is now also available on the V6 petrol model.

Since the presidency of PSA of Jean-Martin Folz, the Peugeot-Citroën cohabitation seems to have found a balance. The two marques now aim to have more distinct design differences and the savings in costs are not made at the detriment to style.
