Peugeot 407 1.6 HDI CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Richard Aucock, 07 July 2008 09:24

Peugeot doesn’t really do facelifts. Look at any model over the years, and there is rarely any mid-life new radicalism. But even by these standards, the ‘new’ 407 is hard to spot. New bumpers include a 308-style rear diffuser. All models get the colour-coding previously restricted to V6 models. And – we're struggling here – the tail lights are new. ...

Peugeot 308 GT THP 175 CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 18 April 2008 18:49

The Peugeot 308 GT THP 175 is only a warm hatch, according to Peugeot. The pre-launch press conference was all about managing our expectations, telling us that the GT was meant to be dynamic but also allow you to cover 1000 miles without getting a bad back. But Peugeot needn’t had worried, because this 308 is really rather good, thanks ...

Peugeot 308 SW 1.6 HDi 110 SE CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 18 April 2008 06:42

Peugeot’s new 308 SW is piece three from the French manufacturer’s five-part mid-sized jigsaw. Coming after the three- and five-door 308 hatches launched in late 2007, and arriving before the CC and RC Z version is this estate bodystyle. It offers a high roofline and a stretched wheelbase over the regular 308, which means the SW majors on space and ...

Peugeot RC Z concept CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

James Foxall, 07 February 2008 14:16

Peugeot has a history of occasional sublime moments of car design punctuating regular functionality. Think 402 from 1935, the 504 Coupe unveiled in 1969 and more recently the 406 Coupe. The 308 RC Z is certainly eye catching. But when it’s launched against Volkswagen’s all-new Scirocco can it live up to its illustrious Peugeot predecessors? Is the RC Z definitely going to ...

Peugeot 207 GTi CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 27 March 2007 11:46

Peugeot seems to have happily vacated its place at the top of the hot hatch pile in recent years. What’s the 207 GTi going to do to change our minds? Make the competition look expensive, for a start. We thought Vauxhall had pulled a canny trick when we learned that the 189bhp Corsa VXR would cost £15,495, undercutting Renault’s Clio ...

Peugeot 207 GT 150 CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 06 October 2006 09:50

Why a GT and not a GTi? That’ll happen in 2007. The GTi will share its 175bhp engine with the Mini Cooper S, but that’s several months away, so we should allow the GT with its 150bhp turbocharged engine some time in the limelight. The GT is no slouch, promising 0-60mph in eight seconds, 130mph and 40mpg. So it’s a ...

Peugeot 207 1.6 HDI CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 07 August 2006 02:20

Hang on, isn't that a 307? You're not far off. The new 207 doesn't just share the bigger car's styling but also gets tantalisingly close to its proportions too. It's 208mm longer than the 206 it replaces, which makes it about the same amount shorter than a 307. The weight has shot up by 122kg as well. The upside of ...
