Peugeot 207: comfortable and versatile
Peugeot’s 207 was launched as a replacement to the popular 206 in 2006, with Peugeot bringing their Fiesta-rivalling hatchback up to standard with a new chassis, new design, new engines developed with sister company Citroen and supposedly finely honed handling.
It is more expensive than the 206 which it supersedes, however this is the trend in this sector, which has seen outright purchase costs increase since 2005. If you’re looking to land a new hatchback on your driveway and fancy a Peugeot 207 finance deal or Peugeot 207 leasing plan in order to do that, fortunately there is a wide range of options available.
What Peugeot offer with the 207 that very few other manufacturers can match is its versatility. Of course it is available with a range of petrol or diesel engines, which themselves range from low-powered and economical to high-powered and thirsty.
However, the true versatility in this range -which is available via Peugeot 207 lease plans – is the fact you can have it as a small estate car, a more conventional hatchback or even a convertible. A Peugeot 207 leasing deal therefore offers more options and will allow you to get the most out of your new car.
Out on the road, you will enjoy your 207 thanks to its fun personality. Apart from the top spec GTi version, which uses Peugeot’s wonderfully torquey and powerful 1.6 litre turbocharged petrol engine, grip in these cars is limited, due to its front wheel drive layout with relatively skinny tyres. This makes for amusing progress on the road, as the 207 comfortably floats along in a way that somehow makes the tarmac you are driving on feel like a cloud of treacle.
There are better handling hatchbacks out there, Ford’s Fiesta and Suzuki’s Swift being perfect examples, however the comfortable ride and quirky behaviour provided by the 207, as well as the availability of estate and convertible versions, makes this car so much more than just a simple hatchback to go from A to B.
