PEUGEOT 207 CC 2009-2014 Photos, engines & full specs

Peugeot replaced the 206 range in 2006 with the 207 lineup, but it introduced the open-top version for it only in 2009.

Even though it was already developed, the 207 CC project was frozen until the global financial crisis was closing to its end, the customers could start buying leisure vehicles. Otherwise, the carmaker could face the risk of unveiling a car that buyers did not demand on the market. Thus, the 207 CC was postponed three years before its power-operated hardtop was revealed in front of the customers.

At the front, the 207 featured Peugeot's new design language. It sported big, swept-back headlights extended from the front fascia to a few inches away from the A-pillars. The raked windshield was the only body element above the beltline when the roof was retracted. Is sculptured side panels were different than those installed on the regular 207 hatchback.

The cabin featured four seats, but the rear ones were large enough for a shopping bag with two pairs of shoes inside it. Due to the power-operated roof, the carmaker had to push the rear seats forward to accommodate the retracting mechanism. For the front occupants, Peugeot installed sporty-looking bucket seats with side bolstering and a set of aluminum pedals for the driver.

Under the hood, Peugeot installed a choice of three engines paired with a five or six-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic for the 1.6-liter naturally aspirated unit.
