ThePeugeot 207 is asupermini car (B) that was designed and produced by theFrenchautomakerPeugeot from 2006 to 2014. It was presented at theGeneva Motor Show in 2006, and entered production in April 2006, as the successor to thePeugeot 206.[1] It shares the same platform with theCitroën C3.
The Peugeot 207 was replaced in April 2012 by thePeugeot 208, which is built on the same platform.
The 207 was launched in France, Spain, and Italy during April 2006, and later on in other markets in Europe and the Middle East. In January 2004, Peugeot decided not to manufacture the 207 inRyton.[2]
The launch for the United Kingdom was on 8 June 2006.Amicus and theTGWU, bothunions representing workers at PSA's manufacturing plant inRyton,Coventry, chose the same day to launch a campaign calling for the boycott of PSA'sPeugeot andCitroën vehicles in the United Kingdom, to protest against the company's plans to close the plant. Peugeot's United Kingdom sales grew, despite the resulting boycott.[3]
Prior to the launch, Peugeot launched a campaign for the 207 onMSN.[4]
The 207 was the successor to the206. The 207 was based on a modified version of the platform used for theCitroën C3 and was built in Poissy (France), Madrid (Spain) and a new plant inTrnava,Slovakia.
Initially, three petrol engines were available: 1.4-litre 8v with 75 or 16v 90 hp (67 kW; 91 PS) and 1.6 litre 16v with 110 bhp (82 kW; 112 PS). From the end of 2006, the 1.4 and 1.6 16v models were replaced by the new 1.4 vti 95 bhp (71 kW; 96 PS) and 1.6 vti a 120 bhp (89 kW; 122 PS)Valvetronic engines.
Twoturbocharged andintercooled versions, one with 150 bhp (112 kW; 152 PS), and the other with 175 bhp (130 kW; 177 PS) were also added to the range. Thelatter four engines result from the cooperation agreement between PSA and theBMW Group; and can also be found in theMini Cooper S. The diesel powered engines available are a 1.4 litre 70 hp (52 kW) or a 1.6 litre HDi with maximum output of 90 hp (67 kW) or 110 hp (82 kW), the latter with the addition of anintercooler.
The 207 was available as a three- or five-doorhatchback, a 207 SWstation wagon and the 207 coupé cabriolet (207 CC), which was launched in December 2006,[1] as a replacement for the ageing206 CCretractable hardtop, with engine choice limited to either the 1.6l HDi or 1.6l Vti.
Apanel van 207 Van model was presented at theCommercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, UK, and sold in the United Kingdom. Thecommercial 207 kept its side windows in most other markets, such as France, where it was marketed as 207 Affaire.[5]
A GTI (or RC in some markets) version was also available, with the THP175 175 hp (130 kW)turbocharged 1.6 litre engine. A GT (or Limitee) version is also available, but is only sold with the THP150 150 hp (110 kW)turbocharged 1.6 litre engine, and also features a glass roof.
Both the GTI and GT versions are sold exclusively with manual gearboxes. The car was facelifted in July 2009, receiving a slightly smaller grille and revised front lighting, including new fog lamp housings, along with LED lights on the rear. Some engine management software changes were also made, boosting the power of the GTI from 175 hp (130 kW) to 184 hp (137 kW).

After just securing the top three positions in qualifying for the24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race, Peugeot had fittingly released details for a Peugeot 207 Le Mans Series special edition model. With only 2,000 units produced, the 207 Le Mans Series was distinguished on the outside with a sport front bumper with Shadow aluminium grille and Black Chrome headlights.
The body side moldings, bumpers strips, and side view mirror housings were painted body color, while a long racing stripe got trimmed along the bonnet, roof, and rear spoiler. Other decal accents included a Peugeot logo, striping on the doors and Le Mans logos on the liftgate. Also special multispoke 17 inch Pitlane aluminium wheels set the tone of the vehicle. Exterior colours were Banquise White and Obsidien Black.
Carried over from the 207 RC, the interior received granium finish decor with front and rear bucket seats as well as RC front and rear mat covers. The steering wheel too, with a granium finish ring and numbered from 1 to 2,000. The gearshift lever knob, pedal assembly, foot rest and door sill are in aluminium.
Three engines were available with the 207 Le Mans Series. Starting with the 1.6 HDi 16v 110 hp DPFS and 1.6 THP150 16v 150 hp engines each of which receive a chrome plated single exhaust pipe. The top 1.6 THP175 16v 175 hp received a chrome plated dual exhaust pipe.
The Peugeot 207 met with mixed reviews, facing criticism for the design of its interior, for the quality of its gearbox, and for its handling, with the latter two issues also identified in the GTI version.[6][7]
Autocar magazine said the Peugeot 207 hatchback was "safely played and as such lacks charm, verve and difference". It did receive praise for its value, safety and styling. Reviewers feared that it would prove unreliable, and one car insurer named it the fourth least reliable vehicle.[8] The CC version was better received, withTop Gear motoring magazine describing it as "a decent new version of one of the originals...of the tin top cabrio breed".[9]
Despite this lack of acclaim, it has sold well in Britain, being the sixth best selling car overall (and third in the supermini sector) in 2007, with more than 67,000 examples being sold.[10]
At the2006 Geneva Motor Show Peugeot also unveiled a sportyconcept car based on the 207 and badged as the207 RCup. ThisSuper 2000 version is powered by a 2.0 litre petrol engine with maximum output of 280 hp (209 kW; 284 PS) and is intended as a successor for the 206World Rally Car which was successfully used by Peugeot in theWorld Rally Championship, where it helped the team winning themanufacturers' championship in2000,2001 and2002.
The Peugeot 207 Epure was a concept car presented at theMondial de l'Automobile 2006 designed to preview the 207 CC which followed. The 207 Epure was fitted with a sophisticatedhydrogenfuel cell.
ASuper 2000 version of thePeugeot 207 is used in theSuper 2000 World Rally Championship as well as severalrally championships across Europe. The 2008European Rally drivers' champion and the 2007, 2008 and 2009Intercontinental Rally Challenge drivers' champions drove 207 Super 2000s.
In several regions including China, South America, Southeast Asia and Iran, a faceliftedPeugeot 206 version is marketed under the Peugeot 207 nameplate since November 2008. The model is based on the platform of the predecessor model, thePeugeot 206, and features the front end of the facelifted version 206+, which resembles the Peugeot 207.[11] This name is used on 4-door, 5-door and even on SW model inMercosur.
