THIS HANDSOMELY shaped 4.73-meter long, 1.75 meter-high MPV category
car stands out with its large glass body area and variable interior.
In the more expensive Pack model the sliding rear doors on both
sides are electrically controlled. Inside, you can change the number
of seats and the ratio of passenger and luggage space in just seconds.
When three rows of seats are installed in 2+3+3 configuration, the
Peugeot 807 seats eight, or seven when the rear three-seat unit
is replaced by two separate seats. Thanks to the patented Quickfix
system, seats are easy to fold down or remove. With the Pack model
both front seats can be turned around. With the luxurious Pullman
model, six luxurious armchairs with armrests can be arranged in
a 2+2+2 configuration. The short gearshift is located by the central
panel of the dashboard, so it fits exactly into the driver's hand.
The hand brake lever is placed to the left of the driver's seat,
allowing for easy passage between the front and back part of the
car.
