Following on from the rugged Out­door concept unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show (Issue 948), our pictures now reveal the real thing.

Even without the chunky bodykit and raised suspension of the show car, the new model still displays bolder styling cues than its 206 predecessor.

While the nose is the same as on the 207 hatchback, from the A-pillars back it's all change. At the rear, the new car borrows heavily from the larger 407 SW - especially the kicked-up rear pillar that cuts through the luggage compartment windows. As with the car it replaces, the SW has the option of a large panoramic glass roof instead of the standard steel one.

Stretching the whole length of the SW's passenger compartment, the tinted panel gives the interior a light and airy feel. While much of the cabin is standard 207 fare, it does have rear seats that will slide and fold flat to maximise boot or passenger space.

Under the bonnet will be the same range of engines found in the hatch. This includes an entry-level 75bhp 1.4-litre petrol unit, a rapid 150bhp 1.6-litre turbo and the 1.6-litre HDi diesel in 90 or 110bhp guise.

Prices have yet to be announced, but should carry a £600 premium over the five-door range. That means the SW will start at less than £11,000.
