Peugeot UK is enhancing its 207 model lineup (hatchback, SW and Outdoor SW) for the 2010MY with the introduction of a more powerful Euro 5 HDi diesel engine paired to a new six-speed manual gearbox.
The new 1.6-liter diesel turbo diesel unit that produces 112HP and 270Nm of torque (285Nm with overboost) replaces Peugeot's previous 1.6L HDi engine with 110HP. According to the French automaker, between this new 1.6-liter HDi and its predecessor, more than 50 per cent of the parts have been entirely redesigned.
Peugeot says that with this engine, the 207 Sport HDi 110 hatchback and SW Sport sprint from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in 11.1 sec and reach a top speed of 120mph or 193km/h, while returning a combined fuel economy of 61.4mpg UK, equal to 51.1mpg US and 4.6lt/100km.
On the road prices range from £15,645 for the 207 3door to £17,585 for the 207 Outdoor SW.
