2009 Peugeot 207

One million 207 vehicles produced already

Launched in spring 2006, the 207 has crossed the peak of one million vehicles produced in less than two years after its commercial launch.
Sold in over a hundred countries, the 207 has achieved major commercial success, which in 2007 enabled it to exceed its worldwide sales objective by more than 20,000 units, to 521,000 vehicles.





For the start of 2008, the 207 has continued its launch success and has confirmed this position as the market leader in Europe.

Success that relies on a wide model range.
In less than two years, Peugeot has sold the widest model range in the segment, offering a 207 model suited to everyone's needs, thanks to its various body styles and very specific characteristics.



The hatch can be distinguished by its passenger compartment split into two interior trim levels, black and natural, whose textures are suggestive of quality.

As for the 207 CC, this model has introduced an elegant finish of integral leather, including the dashboard, along with the pyrotechnic safety arches, a new level of safety equipment for the segment.

Capitalising on the SW concept, in addition to its panoramic glass roof and opening rear screen, the 207 SW offered a 'magic' rear bench seat exclusive to the segment, which can be folded down in just one move, providing a fully flat floor loading space.

Perpetuating the legend of small and sporty, the 207 RC, equipped with the 1.6 L THP 128 kW (approx. 175 bhp engine) introduced a major innovation: the SSP system (Steering Stability Programme) gradually extended to the
updated versions of the 1.6 L THP 150 bhp. and the 1.6 L HDi FAP 110 bhp. Únder certain braking conditions, this equipment combines the ESP function with the vehicle's electrical variable power-assisted steering system. The SSP system improves the stability and the vehicle stopping time in a straight line when braking on surfaces that have different levels of grip between the right and left-hand wheels.

An industrial production system spread over three European sites The 207 is built at three sites spread throughout Europe, at a rate of 2 500 vehicles/day. The three and five-door 207, the 207 RC, the 207 SW, and the 207 variants Outdoor and RC are produced in the Poissy factory, located in the Paris region.

Since 2006, the factory of Trnava in Slovakia has been producing the three and five-door 207 body styles; the factory at Madrid in Spain builds the 207 CC as well as the three and five-door versions of the 207.

A car that has already received many awards of distinction
The 207 has been viewed as a distinguished model by the press in various countries and in particular has been awarded the title of 'Car of the Year 2007' in Spain, 'Auto Europa 2007' in Italy and ''Import Car of the Year' in
Japan.

Satisfied owners of the 207!
Appreciated for its assertive and high quality style, the 207 is also appreciated for its smooth driving performance and road handling qualities. The quality of finish and interior comfort are other elements which have contributed towards this satisfaction.

On its own behalf, the 207 CC is seductive with its style lines and CC design signified by the ease of conversion from a coupé to a cabriolet. The 207 has also experienced a hectic lift in motoring competitions In 2007, the 207 Super 2000 toppled two crowns (driver and manufacturer titles) in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC), as well as the national titles in Portugal and Poland. 2008 will see numerous outings of the 207 Super 2000 by Peugeot, in Belgium, Spain, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Sweden.

The Spider 207, which becomes the Spider THP, will be involved in an eight trial European promotion formula series, which will be fought by lifting the curtain on the Le Mans Series courses, in which Peugeot Sport takes
part in 2008 with the 908 HDi FAP.

Finally, the Peugeot Sport Race Meetings in France and similar formula series in other European countries will enable many enthusiasts to come face to face at the wheel of the 207 LW THP. This formula, which totalled
50 participants in 2007, will see 70 new cars line up in the coming weeks, over the Spring and relay courses.

There are already two newcomers to the 207 model range in 2008! The 207 CC Roland Garros is available from this Spring. This special edition with a distinctive character is available in Obsidien black or Ermitage grey with a special two-tone leather trim interior and carrying the tennis tournament logo.

Another new feature, the 207 receives the new 2-Tronic gearbox combined with the 1.4 litre 16v 65 kW petrol engine ( 90 bhp). This manual sequential gearbox, equipped with five gears, provides easy driving in all situations.

Currently on a high with its million vehicles, the 207 is continuing the success and leadership of the legendary 2 series production models, the 205 and 206, illustrating Peugeot's strong commercial activity. And so an appointment has been made for the next historical event.
