A background to Peugeot Cars

Years of competing in all the major motorsport arenas, including The World Rally Championship, Le Mans endurance racing, Touring Cars and Formula One, has reinforced Peugeot's reputation for reliability and performance. These fundamental features have been transferred to the current passenger car range which consists of 107, 1007, 206, 307, 407, 607 and 807 models.

The Peugeot 107 is one of a new generation of city cars and is the result of a joint venture between PSA (Peugeot and Citroën) and Toyota. Built in a new purpose-built facility, the 107 provides comfort for 4 with exceptional economy (combined cycle of over 60 mpg). Add to the mix ABS braking, central door locking and up to 6 airbags and you have the perfect answer to today's crowded city environment.

Peugeot's new range of specialist vehicles is spearheaded by the Peugeot 1007, an impressive 4 seater with the "sesame" electric sliding door system as well as people carrier style sliding and folding rear seats. The option of 2-Tronic semi or fully automatic transmission provides a trend-setting flexible vehicle that will have the competition playing catch-up....again!

The Peugeot 206 has consistently been a top seller in its class since its launch in 1998. Available as a 3 or 5 door hatchback as well as a 5 door SW estate model and not forgetting the ground-breaking coupe cabriolet.With engines from 1.1 to 2.0 petrol and the latest generation HDi turbo diesels in 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 there is a great combination of performance and economy. Features on most models will include air conditioning, power steering, remote central locking, electric front windows, passenger and driver airbags and remote control radio/CD player.

Replacing the best selling 306 is the Peugeot 307, launched in 2001. 6 airbags and ABS braking across the range demonstrates a safety first approach to the first Car of the Year of the new millenium. 3 and 5 door hatchbacks are complemented by 2 load carrying variants - the 7 seater SW and the traditional estate model. 16 valve 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 petrol and turbo diesel 1.4, 1.6 and 2.0 engines offer plenty of choice. Additional equipment on most models includes alloy wheels, air conditioning, remote controlled radio/CD, remote central locking and electric windows.

The newly launched Peugeot 407 saloon and SW Estate have raised the standards again in this volume market sector. Individual and aggressive styling matched with Peugeot's renowned handling and comfort package will place the 407 at the top of many company car drivers wish list. A range of 1.8, 2.0 and 3.0 petrol engines alongside tax efficient, common rail HDi diesels will also give the private owner the ideal choice. Options include Tiptronic automatic transmission, satellite navigation and leather upholstery to name just a few.

Peugeot's executive saloon, the Peugeot 607, has brought luxury equipment levels and ride comfort within the budget of those outside the boardroom. A choice of economical and powerful petrol engines as well as Peugeot's world-beating turbo diesels and and manual or tiptronic 5 or 6 speed transmissions provide a solution to everyone's needs. Plentiful cabin space, a cavernous boot and a distinct road presence make 607 ownership a memorable experience.

Flexibility is at the heart of the Peugeot 807 MPV. Seating from 2 to 8 people, engines of 2.0 or 2.2 litre capacity either petrol or diesel, manual or Tiptronic automatic transmission - the choice is yours to suit your individual needs. Economy in the combined cycle of up to virtually 40 miles per gallon, safety with front, side and curtain airbags and space via the flexible seating system make the 807 as practical as it is stylish.

A reliable long-lived workhorse can be a pleasure to drive thanks to Peugeot's range of commercial vehicles. From the light duty 206 HDi diesel to the heavy hitting long wheelbase high top Boxer, there is a vehicle and funding/maintenance system to suit your growing business needs.
