Peugeot 207 facelift

One of Britain’s best-selling cars, the Peugeot 207, has been given a mid-life facelift to help bolster its position in the hatchback market against the VW Polo and BMW 1-series.

The hatchback, SW estate and CC folding hard-top get a fresh front end, with a softer look to the headlights, as well as LED tail-lamps on the hatch and CC.

Brightening the cabin are new trims and detailing, plus more modern instruments, while standard kit now includes USB and Bluetooth connections and remote electric windows.

Optimised aerodynamics and low-rolling-resistance tyres cut CO2 to as low as 99g/km in the base diesel.

More details on specs and prices will be released at launch next month.
