207 CC, RC, GTi and SW Outdoor Concept
Peugeot unleashes three new versions of the 207. The CC, as the name indicates, is a coupe-convertible with a retractable hardtop. It is based on the 207 sedan and can accommodate 4 passengers in relative comfort. The RC is an understated unmarked GTI. Aesthetically, other than 17" wheels and chrome-capped side-view mirrors, the RC is identical to the regular 3-door hatchback. Under the hood, it shares the Mini's new turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder. It puts out 175 hp and is coupled to a 5-speed manual transmission unlike the Mini's 6-speed. The GTi picks up where the RC leaves off and adds a sportier suspension, upgraded brakes and stability control. Further distinguishing the GTi are special 17" alloys, trapezoidal exhaust tips and tinted windows. The 1.6L turbo enable the 207 to reach 100 km/h in 7.1 seconds on its way to a top speed of 218 km/h.

Peugeot 207 CC

At the Geneva auto show, the 207 SW Outdoor Concept looks essentially like the production version of the 207 SW will look like when it is launched later this year. The Concept sports an increased ride height for a more utilitarian/soft-roader look much like the Subaru Outback. A few innovations stand out such as the single-movement fold-flat second row seat and the tailgate glass which opens independently from the hatch. Powering the concept is a 1.6L HDi 16v diesel that produces 110 hp and 178 lb/ft of torque.


4007

The Peugeot 4007,triplet with the Mitsubishi Outlander and Citroën C-Crosser, gets its power from a 165 hp 2.2L HDi diesel or a 155 hp 2.2L petrol engine. This small SUV features an innovative electronically controlled 4-wheel drive system which includes a "lock" mode for mild off-roading. A 6-speed manual gearbox built by Aisin is mated to the engine. Styling-wise, the 4007 is largely inspired by the rest of the Peugeot family.
