Compare with other cars in the Large MPV category

The Peugeot 807 and the technically identical sister cars Citroen C8, Fiat Ulysse and Lancia Phedra have been awarded extra points that now give them five star crashworthiness ratings. These are the first MPVs to achieve this level of protection. These models now have intelligent reminders for the driver and front seat passenger to buckle up their seatbelts. The car has performed extremely well in the front and side impacts providing good protection for those inside. It scores full marks in the side impact test. In the frontal test, however, testers found that the 807’s fascia had hard points beneath it which could injure those in the front. Child protection was good, their restraints meeting most Euro NCAP performance limits, although the chest loading was a little high for the 3-year-old. Protection for pedestrians was poor. Peugeot says it intends to improve this on future models.
