It may already be established as Europe’s top selling small car – a position it has held since 2007 – but the Peugeot 207 is set to be re-styled with an even greener outlook.
The vehicle, which has sold more than 167,000 units in the UK alone since its introduction in June 2006, will benefit from particularly fuel efficient engines with reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is optimised not only aerodynamically, but in terms of the engine itself and the use of rolling resistance tyres, which collectively brings its carbon dioxide (CO2) emission levels down to a mere 99g/km.
The gradual introduction of engines sees the vehicle meet the Euro5 emission standard and there has also been a gear change indicator placed on the manual gearbox models, which will help the driver to perform in a more environmentally efficient way.
Of course it’s not just about the environmental credentials of the car as there have been a number of exterior and interior changes too. These include a redesigned front for a softer visual appearance, increased use of exterior body colouring and chrome detailing, new instrument panel designs, new trims and detailing.
In addition there is a range of new standard equipment such as an in-car entertainment system, a one-touch direction indicator function for safe lane changes and a remote controlled window closure.
Further details about the Peugeot 207′s pricing have yet to be released.
