2007 Peugeot 207 SW 1.4L 5MT FWD (73 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Peugeot introduced the 207 lineup in 2006 as a replacement for the old yet trustworthy 206 model, and in 2007 it offered it with a long-roof version called 207 SW.

While the French automaker didn’t really want to say it was a station wagon, it just tried to say it was a sporty wagon. Whatever the name, the supermini vehicle could offer the trunk space of a compact-sized vehicle but in a smaller, more affordable package. Like the rest of the 207 range, the SW version was based on the same platform as the Citroen C3.

Showing a smiling front fascia with a broad grille placed into the lower bumper, the 207 SW featured a horizontal slat that was part of the car’s crash-protection system, albeit it was painted black regardless of the car’s color. The stretched headlights were spread from the car’s front almost to the A-pillars. From its profile, the SW received black trims on the B and C pillars. In addition, a third triangular window was placed behind the rear doors. Sporting an unusual design for the D-pillars, the 207 SW’s rear end left the sensation of a wrapped-around rear windscreen. The design team also created elongated taillights.

Inside there was room enough for five passengers, although the one seated in the middle, on the bench, couldn’t get too much legroom. But all of them could’ve enjoyed a panoramic glass roof offered as an option. For the cargo area, the SW offered just 337 liters (11.9 cu-ft) of space, which could have been expanded by folding the rear bench up to 1,285 liters (45.4 cu-ft).

Under the hood, Peugeot installed a wide choice of gasoline and diesel engines paired with standard five-speed manual transmission. As an option, specific engine versions were offered with a four-speed automatic as well.
