Stylish design, excellent handling characteristics, strong diesels, EuroNCAP results.
Non-turbo petrols not as sprightly as they could be, could be issues over electrics.
The 207 brings Peugeot back to the forefront of the supermini sector with a healthy dash of Gallic flair.
The 207 is the successor to the ever-popular 206 and fits in the Peugeot range between the tiny 107 city-car and the eccentric sliding-doored 1007. Borrowing heavily from the 307's styling, the 207 is a more grown-up supermini and substantially bigger than the model is succeeds. For those on a tight budget, though, the 206 will continue on sale in the UK for some time as an entry-level model. The 207 will be built in Peugeot's factories in Poissey (France), Madrid (Spain) and Trnava (Slovakia).
Peugeot's latest supermini is available in both three- and five-door bodystyles - coupe-cabriolet and estate versions will follow - and with seven engines on offer, four petrol and three diesel.
