Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor (2007) CAR review

Superminis

From its name I’m guessing this is a successor to the 206 SW

Exactly right. Making an estate version of a supermini might not be a popular pastime for many car companies but Peugeot obviously sees something more than just a challenge in it. The French firm prides itself on offering an estate version of every major model in its range and this is the 207’s. The production SW goes on sale in July but it’s let us put a thinly veiled concept version through its paces already.

How much does it differ from the production version then?

Not much actually. Like the model that’ll hit showrooms this is based on the regular hatchback and the only differences between this and the production car will be cosmetic. Those roof bars will make it as an option but you’ll probably have to buy them in an aluminium colour not the concept's lairy orange. The blue chrome-effect body cladding is also likely to be a casualty in the switch from concept to reality. And that’s a shame because it looks great.
