French Cars

With its three body shapes, each bursting with appeal, the 207 moved into the pole position in the European small car market in 2007 and then remained there in 2008 with sales of 423,700 units.

However, in the summer of this year, the 207 will become even more visually appealing due to the introduction of a number of new features, allowing it to:
- win new admirers with a more distinctive elegance but still maintaining a personality full of dynamism.

- attract previous and existing owners (1,460,000 207s were produced to the end of April 2009) who, once or even twice before, will have approved of its innovative profile and original styling which are well above average for the segment

in day-to-day use to continue to win the hearts of its customers through its charm, its blend of comfort and driveability, its low running costs and high levels of standard equipment.

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.

The 107, the ideal urban car in the B1 segment, compact and easy to drive, was given a new design at the front in January 2009 that added a touch of class to its young and trendy image.

In March 2009, the 206+ was introduced to continue the 206 legend with a new goal: that of a versatile entry level vehicle in the B2 segment with proven qualities and a refreshingly modern design featuring all the current Peugeot styling cues.

At the crossroads of several types of vehicles (SUV, people-carrier, hatch, etc.), the 3008 contributes some original and innovative solutions to the compact vehicle segment.
So, with its technological content and the expertise on which it is based, this crossover endeavours to represent a new concept mixing modernity, value, multi-purpose use, driving pleasure and "off-road" drive… all while respecting the environment to the maximum.
As a responsible vehicle, the 3008 model range now starts with 130 g/km of CO2 (4.9 l/100 km for a combined cycle), with the introduction of the six speed sequential gearbox (BMP6) coupled with the 1.6 l HDi FAP 80 kW engine (110 bhp).
This moderate level, which is still rare for the volume car market also allows it to take advantage of a 200 euro bonus in France.
The 3008 therefore links environmental targets with driving pleasure, achieved here by automating the gear changes.
Further proof of this combination of driving pleasure and ecological responsibility can be found on another level of the model range; the 3008 receives a new 2.0 l HDi FAP engine. This engine now complies with the Euro 5 emissions standards and has been successful in controlling its fuel consumption (5.6 l/100 km combined cycle, which is 146 g/km de CO2) and all this is achieved while displaying top levels of performance.
In fact, this engine (the "DW10D") delivers a maximum torque of 340 Nm at 2 000 rpm and a maximum power output delivering 110 kW (150 bhp) at 3 750 rpm, when it is linked, as it is here, to a manual six speed gearbox.

The 5008, after the 3008 crossover, is Peugeot’s second new product offering in the large M1 vehicle segment.

This compact five to seven seater people carrier offers a number of significant benefits that will enhance and strengthen Peugeot’s presence in the family car market.

After the 308 SW and the recent 3008 crossover, the 5008, with a length of 4.53 m and a height of 1.64 m, is a natural extension to Peugeot’s current offerings in the M1 segment.

An aerodynamic and elegantly styled people carrier

In terms of exterior style, the 5008 stands out with its balanced and particularly distinctive profile.
Its aerodynamic styling (Cx of 0.29 and Scx of 0.77) is akin to that of the TGV high-speed train. It evokes fluidity and driveability of the very highest order.

The front of the car with its attractive profiled headlamps, steeply plunging bonnet which extends backwards towards the large front windscreen which is level with the front wheels, seems to be designed to penetrate through the air in the most efficient way.

The natural fluidity emanating from the 5008 is further enhanced by the chrome detailing decorating the front grille that gives the car an elegant and luxurious appeal.

The design of the vehicle’s sides both pure and smooth, create an impression of movement, while the high waist line inspires safety.
