PEUGEOT 207 5 Doors Models/Series Timeline, Specifications & Photos

Peugeot had to upgrade its cars to fit into the Euro 5 emission standards and introduced a facelifted version of the 207 lineup, and that obviously affected the five-door version as well as the three-doors and the SW.

The French carmaker was the market leader in the small segment in Europe in 2008 and managed to sell almost 1.5 million units of the 207 since the model's launch in 2006. But Peugeot tried to keep that momentum, and with the facelifted version, it made the car even more attractive for its customers, enhancing the vehicle in all areas: look, interior, and powertrains.

Like its predecessor, the 2009 model sported the grille in the lower bumper area, albeit it had a reversed trapezoidal shape instead of the smiling from the 2006 model. It was flanked by two side scoops that hosted the fog lights, which were offered as an option for most versions or standard for the top trim levels. Its headlights were slightly redesigned and looked sharper than before. In the five-door version, the 207 was fitted with a blackened B-pillar to create the illusion of a three-door hatchback.

Inside, Peugeot installed new buttons on the center stack. Despite the similar overall design of the dashboard, the materials used in the 2009 model year were better and softer. Moreover, inside the instrument cluster, the carmaker encircled the dials with chromed rings instead of satin-gray ones as before. Also, for the sportier versions, the automaker offered white dials and red needles for the speedometer, tachometer, and gauges.

Under the hood, Peugeot installed upgraded Euro 5 engines, both gasoline, and turbo-diesel. In addition, the four-speed automatic gearbox from its predecessor was ditched, and a new, six-speed automatic was offered for selected versions.

Produced by the French carmaker Peugeot from 2006 to 2014, the Peugeot 207 was a supermini designed to replaced the ageing Peugeot 206.

The then-new Peugeot 207 was based on a modified platform of the Citroen C3 and was available in a massive range of engines, as well as lots of features were offered.

At first, buyers could choose between three gasoline engines: a 1.4-liter with 75 hp, a 1.4-liter with 90 hp and a 1.6-liter with 110 hp; 3 Diesel engines were also available, with one of them with a particulate filter system: a 1.4-liter with 70 hp, a 1.6-liter with 90 hp and 110 hp. All engines offered a good fuel consumption and were friendly with the environment, with CO2 emissions ranging from 120 g/km to 126 g/km.

Inside, the Peugeot 207 was designed to offer a welcoming interior with its instrument panel reminiscent of that of a motorbike. The interior space available was unusual for a car in its segment and more likely to be found in a higher segment. Lots of storage spaces were fitted inside the cabin and great features were available depending on the trim level: automatic dual-zone air conditioning, fragrance diffuser, static directional lighting and also a premium JBL sound system.

Safety-wise, the new Peugeot 207 was equipped with 6 air bags and 5 seat belts with force limiters. Pedestrian protection was also taken into account with the vehicle’s front structure and bodywork.
