Peugeot 207

Little Lion loads up

Peugeot has stuck the boot into the 207 – and these are the first official pictures of the new estate, called the SW, which goes on sale next month

Peugeot 207 GTi
New SW is taller and longer than the hatch

By Sam Hardy

19th June 2007

Completing the 207 range, which comprises three and five-door hatchbacks, plus the drop-top CC, the SW plays the practicality card with more space inside for passengers and luggage. It sits on the same wheelbase as the five-door, but is 119mm longer and 38mm taller. That means more rear head­room, while the boot capacity is also bigger, at 325 litres. A new seat mech­anism sees the back bench fold flat to provide a huge maximum loading area of 1,410 litres.

Under the bonnet, four engines are available. The petrol line-up consists of two units co-developed with BMW: a 95bhp 1.4-litre and a 120bhp 1.6. Diesel buyers have a choice of 1.6 HDi units with 90bhp or 110bhp. All cars get a five-speed manual box, with modified ratios for the SW. Price and spec details will be revealed shortly, but the model should cost about £1,000 more than the five-door, starting from just under £12,000.
