Peugeot 207 SW

Sporty looks combine with true practicality on the Peugeot 207 SW. Its appearance is distinctive with an opening rear tailgate window, integrated roof rails and a Cielo glass roof. Meanwhile, the interior manages to be both compact and spacious with flexibility to accommodate bulky cargo.
The SW has a smaller engine line-up than the more common hatchback. A 1.4-litre petrol engine with 90bhp kicks off the range. Next up is the 1.6-litre with 120bhp which is well suited to motorway conditions. One 1.6-litre diesel engine is offered, available with either 90 or 110bhp. There’s no shortage of safety options either with ABS technology, emergency brake assist and dynamic stability control.

All 207 SW models have a full length panoramic glass sunroof which gives the interior a light and airy feel, with electrically operated sunblind, tailgate with a separate opening rear window section, roof bars, fold flat split rear seats, a clever three piece load area cover, air conditioning, electrically operated heated door mirrors, electric windows, trip computer, front, side and curtain airbags, stereo radio and CD player.

The 207 SW may be a compact estate, but there's plenty of room in the back. The load area with the seats in place is 428 litres this increases to a useful 1,433 litres with the rear seats folded. A good feature is that the rear seats easily fold down to provide a completely flat load area. The load area length is 1,694mm and the maximum interior width is 1,414mm. The maximum towing capacity is 1,110kgs.
The 207 SW is easy and comfortable to drive. Around town the steering is light and the gear change is precise. Its also easy to park, manoeuvre and nip-in-and-out of traffic. The Peugeot 207 SW aims to restore your passion for driving with carefully crafted suspension, high-performance and electric power steering making it excellent in all driving conditions.
