2005 PEUGEOT 107 3 Doors 1.0L 5MT FWD (68 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The French automaker PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) joined forces with Toyota to create a range of supermini vehicles for the European market, resulting in the Peugeot 107, the Citroen C1, and the Toyota Aygo, respectively.

Since both automakers had a huge experience in producing small-sized vehicles, they knew the key to success relied on a low price in that segment. That’s why, besides the five-doors version, they also produced a three-door variant, built for those who didn’t need the rear seats or needed them only once in a blue moon. Moreover, those vehicles were highly appreciated by delivery companies.

Peugeot used the same brand identity as the one already promoted by the 206, which was on its last stint. That led to a smiling lower grille below the front bumper and no cooling grille above it. Moreover, the headlights were placed very high, and they almost touched the A-pillars due to their length. On the three-door version, the doors were slightly longer than on its five-door sibling.

Inside, there was hardly room for four adults, although the trio created these vehicles, especially for school runs. The cabin featured two seats at the front and a 50/50 split-folding bench in the back, which helped customers to get a decent trunk area, very useful for flat, squared boxes such as those used for pizza. The standard dashboard featured a speedometer and a fuel level gauge. The tachometer was offered as an option. Moreover, to offer the car at an even lower cost, the base version didn’t feature an AC or a stereo.

Under the hood, all three siblings shared the same engine, an inline-three, one-liter engine. That was paired with a standard five-speed manual or, as an option, an automated (robotized, single-clutch) gearbox.
