Peugeot 207

25 March 2008 -- Launched in spring 2006, the Peugeot 207 has crossed the peak of one million vehicles produced in less than two years after its commercial launch. Sold in over a hundred countries, the Peugeot 207 has achieved major commercial success, which in 2007 enabled it to exceed its worldwide sales objective by more than 20,000 units, to 521,000 vehicles.

The Peugeot 207 is the leader of the B segment in Europe

The 207 has received first prize in the category Imported Car of the Year which is awarded each year in Japan by the Automotive Researchers’ & Journalists’ Conference of Japan (RJC). The 207 won this award by achieving a score of 474 points, a comfortable advantage of 200 points over the next placed vehicle. The 207 particularly impressed the jury with its very expressive exterior style and its high level of active and passive safety confirmed by its 5 Star EuroNCAP rating.

Since its launch in March 2007, more than 2,000 207’s have been sold in Japan. The range, which recently expanded with the introduction of the 207 CC and 207 GTi, will increase again with the launch of the 207 SW at the beginning of 2008.
