Peugeot 406 Saloon boot space, practicality and safety

1996 - 2004 (change model)
Practicality rating: 4 out of 54.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019 Updated: 6 June 2019

Driver and passenger airbags are standard on all models, but ABS was only fitted on GLX upwards until March 1998, when it became standard on LX. L models got ABS in 1999. A 1997 model scored two stars (out of four) in Euro NCAP tests, a re-test in 2001 gave the revised model three stars (out of five). The effective but occasionally awkward PSA keypad immobiliser system will deter drive-away villains.

Strong deadlocks back this up.

406 swallows family luggage, with a big boot in the saloon (the load area in the estate is huge and even the coupé has good storage space for its class).
