  Peugeot 406 Coupe Goes Diesel 1 Jun 2001 (News)
  Because it emits just 168 grams per kilometre of CO2, the 406 2.2HDI coupe not only sits in band C (£150pa) VED, it also qualifies for company car taxation on 18% of the car's list prices of £22,295 for the S and £24,995 for the SE. So a 40% taxpayer will pay as little £1,605.24 a year for the privilege of being seen driving one of the most beautiful cars currently in production. (This rises to £1,799.64 for the SE, but falls to as little as £1,003.28 for a 25% taxpayer.) Top speed of the new car is 129mph, while the massive 235lb ft (319Nm) torque should give effortless hillclimbing and overtaking ability.
