Specifications
Black and white satellite navigation is now standard on all S, SE and Executive models. Standard equipment across the range also includes automatic door locking, rear electric window operation and air-conditioning. Additionally, all SE and Executive HDi 110 models are fitted with cruise control and Executive models are fitted with ESP as standard equipment.
Interior Trim
All models are now offered with an all-new, burnished aluminium finish central facia. Additionally, each model benefits from a range of new look materials on all door and dashboard ‘inserts’.
The dashboard is further enhanced by the introduction of a new five dial instrument display, with ‘S’ and ‘SE’ derivatives further benefiting from sport white faced dials. The burnished aluminium effect also extends to the dial surrounds.
A variety of new seat trim materials also feature in the enhanced 406 range.
External Styling
The classic lines of the 406 now feature the addition of new 16" alloy wheels on all S, SE and Executive models while chrome trim now features on the grille surround and exhaust tail pipe.
The estate models also feature a dark tint rear screen, first seen on the stunning 206 SW along with a new, bold, chrome lion tailgate badge.
