2006 PEUGEOT 207 CC 1.6L 16V HDi 5MT FWD (109 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Peugeot was the first car-manufacturer that offered an affordable retractable hard-top vehicle on the market with the 206 CC. In 2007, the 207 has received a CC-version.

The CC means Coupe-Cabriolet. When Peugeot launched the 206 CC in 2000. The concept of a retractable hardtop was not new. It was present also in 1935 Peugeot 402 Eclipse. With the hardtop on, the car was just like any other coupe vehicle. It featured far better acoustic and thermal comfort than a soft-top vehicle. After the big success of the small 206 CC, that concept was extended to the 307 CC (in the compact segment) and, in 2007, on the 207 CC, which was the successor of the 206 CC.

The 207 CC featured the front styling of the 207 hatchback range, with angular and long headlights that were inspired by the feline world. A raked and thick A-pillar supported the windshield and also acted as a security arch in the event of a roll-over accident. The sloped, rear trunk-lid was still usable even with the roof down.

Inside, the 207 offered four seats. When compared with the 206 CC, the rear seats were usable due to its increased wheelbase and interior design. Like its predecessor, the 2007 Peugeot 207 could have been opened and closed only with the vehicle stopped.

Under the hood, the 207 CC offered a range of diesel and gasoline units mated to a standard 5-speed manual transmission. An option for automatic was available for selected engines.
