The car will come with revised standard equipment lineups, with features such as USB with Bluetooth and in-car entertainment system, one-touch direction indicator function for safe lane changes, remote controlled window closure (hatchback and SW versions), as well as one-touch operation of the driver’s electric window (CC) now available across the range.
As for the engines, they will remain the same but will provide optimized fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions levels to 99 g/km. In the future, Peugeot will also introduce some Euro 5 compliant engines but still, an official release date is yet to be revealed. Additionally, the French manufacturer will debut a shift change indicator on models equipped with manual transmissions to help motorists drive more efficiently.
The exterior styling upgrades include a redesigned front, new rear lights which use panels of light emitting diodes (for the hatchback and CC models), as well as new exterior body colors and chrome detailing.
"With the new 207, Peugeot, the European leader in the B2 segment in 2008, once again demonstrates its small car expertise. By the end of the first half of 2009 Peugeot will have completely modernised all its vehicles in this segment," Peugeot said in a release.
More information on the redesigned Peugeot 207 is expected to surface in July.
