THE PEUGEOT 207.
SO SEXY, IT'S UNFAIR.
You get more out of life with a pretty face and a brain than a brain alone. Could you disagree with this view when the new Peugeot 207 is around?
This seductive siren takes a level playing field and tilts it firmly in its favour. Smitten by its provocative look, sensual feel and oodles of oomph, hapless victims soon look at the world only through 207-tinted glasses.
The 207 is available in 2 variants, the charming fuel-friendly 207 Vive 1.4 and the full-powered, sizzling 207 1.6.
WHAT ARE YOU STARING AT?
The experience of gawking at a curvaceous figure gliding past isn't ailen to you. The 207 gives you yet another opportunity to do so, without having to fear a quick reprimand from the wife or girlfriend.
Sleek high-tech headlights extend rearwards to give it a distinct feline look - one that's suggested by the lion badge.
Fog lights with chrome-trimmed surrounds make the car look sassy and sporty at the same time.
Door mirror with side indicators give your car a high-tech look while leaving no doubt that you are about to turn.
Rear LED-effect lights give it a futuristic look and add more pizzazz to the rear of the car.
Extra-flat wipers enable better wiping action at high speeds. So you are always clear about where you are headed.
Chrome rear exhaust pipe gives you a good idea of the detailing involved. (207 1.6A only)
Front lip with a strong bonnet line and wide grille gives a great first impression.
LIKE TO COME IN FOR A COFFEE?
The 207's interiors exude a charm that is too difficult to turn down. The second you step in, a delicious mix of sensuousness and dynamism sooth and excite in equal measure.
And hey, there are even cup holders if you are actually had coffee in mind!
Chrome rings circle the motorcycle-inspired white-faced displays. Whos says sexy can't be sporty?
Groove to music as smooth as your drive, courtesy of an MP3/CD player woth steering remote control. A front loading 5-CD changer is also available as an option.
Shopping hooks in the boot give you even more storage options and ensure that there are no unnecessary spills.
Always stay in complete control as the multi-function trip computer reklays up-to-date information regarding fuel consumption, distance travelled, outside temperature, remaining fuel range, etc.
Electric power steering adapts to the situation you find yourself in. Firm, when you're driving at high speeds for greater stability, and more responsive when you need to park.
With one of the largest boot capacities in its segment, the 207 features 60/40 split folding seats that increase your storage capacity considerably.
ARE YOU COMFY ENOUGH?
Inside the 207 is a world devoted to pleasures and indulgences. It's almost as if tha car read your mind and went about creating an interior just the way you'd want it.
Height and reach adjustable steering wheel adapts to your favourite driving position. The leather finish and sporty design add to the air of sophistication.
Some like it hot, some like it cold! Hence, our automatic dual-zone air conditioning.
Tinted windows block off excess heat. You don't want things to get too hot, do you?
Clever storage solutions inside and above the air-conditioned glove box, under the radio, on the central console, in the front and rear doors. Now everything is within easy reach.
One-touch front and rear power windows give passengers a taste of luxury.
The well-contoured dashboard has been inspired by the styling in the front of the car. Side air conditioning vents are designed to look like the headlights while the top centre console mimics the lion badge.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE ME......
NAUGHTY OR NICE?
Some like to rip. Some like to cruise. The 207's engine allows for both. The result of a joint collaboration between the PSA Peugeot-Citroen Group and the BMW Group, this highly advanced engine lets you take on roads the way you choose to.
Variable valve timing (VVT), twin cam 16-valve engine delivering an impressive 90hp (207 Vive 1.4) or 120hp (207 1.6A). Simply sizzling.
Even the simple act if shifting takes on a whole new feel, thanks to Paddle Shifts. (207 Vive 1.4 only)
A 5-speed 2-Tronic gearbox (207 Vive 1.4) or a 4-speed Tiptronic System Porsche transmission (207 1.6A) offers the convenience of an automatic with a manual mode. After all, people are attracted to those with absolute control over themselves.
I LIKE TO PLAY SAFE, DO YOU?
At Peugeot, we don't believe you should have to take risks to have fun on the road. That's why we've spent thousands of hours developing, testing and refining the 207 to ensure it can keep its composure on even the most demanding of roads. So it's hardly surprising that it was awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP tests - the highest safety accolade a car can receive.
5-Star Euro NCAP safety rating for superb adult occupant protection. Add to that 4 stars for child occupant protection and 3 stars for pedestrain safety, and you have a car that lets you play without fear!
A switch allows you to deactivate the passenger airbag, so you can install a child seat safely in front.
Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) proves crucial in accident prevention. Hazard lights activate automatically during emergency braking to warn drivers behind you.
Two 3-point ISOFIX child seat mountings ensure that your kids are always safe and secure.
Rain-sensing wipers adjust wiping speed automatically according to vehicle speed and rain intensity.
Automatic headlight illumination allows you to drive safely regardless of lighting conditions. This function kicks into action even in sheltered carparks and tunnels.
Suitcase type door handles make it easier to open doors during accidents or emergencies.
Fog lamps (front and rear)
3 rear seatbelts with side seat load limiters.
Engine Immobiliser makes sure that strangers can't share your pleasure without a key.
