The 407 SW is diesel powered. This makes the vehicle more expensive in sourcing from Europe, whilst in contrast being more efficient in fuel economy terms. One should, in theory, out weigh the other. Looking for fuel efficiency, style and practicality in a wagon? Then cast an eye over the 407 SW. When you do they will discover a vehicle that has spent years at the fore front of sales in Europe and one that doesn’t sacrifice comfort for wagon capability. One thing they won’t find is 7 seats. Simply the 407SW is not that sort of hybrid. As with the sibling 407 sedan, the diesel unit attracts Road User Charges. All is not lost, however, as the RUC charge is not a huge cost to carry. Additionally the 20,000km service interval and diesel frugality should offset any concerns about those RUC costs. 407 SW is also a vehicle that fleet buyers may look at. Mid-senior level managers with a need for wagon practicality should look closely at this car. Failing that the 407SW is a vehicle that the private, discerning, buyer will take a long hard look at.
