A Decent Addition To The 207 Range Peugeot 207 SW 1.6 Sport

With a strong engine range and capable driving experience, the Peugeot SW is a decent addition to the 207 range

In the land of the supermini estate, the Peugeot 207 SW is king. That's because when it goes on sale next month, it will be the only small load-lugger available in the UK.

The major improvements are found in the boot, though, where there's an extra 118 litres of luggage space over the five-door, taking volume to 428 litres.

But that won't be the case for long. Skoda will launch a new Fabia Estate early in 2008, and Renault is poised to do the same with the Clio, in the shape of a model based on the striking Grand Tour concept seen at this year's Geneva Motor Show.



And with a host of brilliant supermini MPVs on sale - think Nissan's Note and Honda's Jazz - there's a great deal of choice for buyers looking for a diminutive but flexible car.

So how does the SW shape up?

Interesting little car. I'd like to see it with a 2.5 litre diesel. I hope the inerior is done in the traditional comfortable French style. I'd like to see Peugeot and Citroen return to North America so I can get a C6.

2.5 is too big for a car of this class, the biggest is a 1.6 at the moment (I expect a 2.0 litre to come along).

Spoken like a true American 2.5L. What a laugh. You guys have no appreciation for the cost of petrol and diesel in the rest of the world.

Looks like a practical, sporty car!

"Next year, the 207 GTi's 175bhp 1.6-litre turbo is set to join the line-up."

a 175 HP diesel will be in the 250-300 ft-lb. torque range. That should smoke the tires in 1st, 2nd and 3rd! It will blow the doors off of any hybrids, and probably get better mileage (certainly on the highway).

But its way too practical to sell in the US....

Sorry, it's a petrol 1.6.

You'll find it in a Mini Cooper S.
