Peugeot 207 Facts for Kids

Peugeot 207

The Peugeot 207 is a car that was made by the French company Peugeot. It was produced from 2006 until 2014. This car came with different types of engines, including both petrol and diesel engines.

The Peugeot 207 was built using the same base, or "platform," as the Citroën C3 car. When it first came out, you could buy it as a 3-door or 5-door hatchback. Later, in 2007, Peugeot also released versions with a hard-top roof that could fold down (called a convertible) and a station wagon version.

The car got a small update, or "facelift," in 2009 to make it look a bit newer. The Peugeot 207 hatchback was replaced by a new model, the Peugeot 208, in 2012. The station wagon version was replaced by the Peugeot 2008 crossover in 2013. However, the convertible version did not get a direct replacement.
