Peugeot 607 2005 vs Mercedes E class 2002
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.9 Petrol | 2.7 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Peugeot 607) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (Mercedes E class) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

| Camshaft drive: | Timing belt | Timing chain | |
| Timing belt usually needs to be replaced more often than the chain, but it is usually significantly cheaper. Timing belt motors are generally quieter and less vibrating than chain motors. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 211 HP | 177 HP | |
| Torque: | 290 NM | 400 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10.1 seconds | 9.3 seconds | |
|
Mercedes E class is a more dynamic driving. Peugeot 607 engine produces 34 HP more power than Mercedes E class, but torque is 110 NM less than Mercedes E class. Despite the higher power, Peugeot 607 reaches 100 km/h speed 0.8 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 10.2 | 6.8 | |
|
The Mercedes E class is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. Peugeot 607 consumes 3.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the Mercedes E class, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Peugeot 607 could require 510 litres more fuel. | |||
| Fuel tank capacity: | 80 litres | 65 litres | |
| Full fuel tank distance: | 780 km in combined cycle | 950 km in combined cycle | |
| 1020 km on highway | 1220 km on highway | ||
| Mercedes E class gets more mileage on one fuel tank. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Peugeot 607) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (Mercedes E class) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 500'000 km | 460'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Peugeot 607 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 4 years | 3 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Peugeot 407 | Used only for this car | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Peugeot 607 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
