PEUGEOT206 3 Doors 2002 - 2010

　　After four years on the market, Peugeot refreshed the 206 lineups and improved it with more fuel-efficient engines and upgraded materials, and that update was also reflected on the nimble, three-door version as well as on the five-door hatchback, the station wagon, and the coupe-cabriolet.

　　Designed mostly for those who needed a light, easy to run, and affordable to buy vehicle, the 206 started to slightly show its age. But the carmaker still had enough aces in its sleeves to make it look fresh again and, moreover, enhanced the engine lineup with the addition of a few powerplants while dropping some of the older ones.

　　Perhaps the most important update was on the front fascia. While at first glance, it didn't look that much changed, the clear-lens headlights that replaced the previous ones made the car keep its edge as an appealing car in the segment. Moreover, the black, unpainted rubber trims on the bumpers and on the sides were replaced with body-colored ones. Also, the apron sported a different design, with a broader grille, enhancing the cooling capacity. For the three-door version, the carmaker kept the pop-out rear windows, which proved to be useful, especially on the vehicles not fitted with an air-conditioning unit.

　　Inside, there were new, higher-grade materials and a redesigned instrument cluster. They offered a cleaner look thanks to their silver rings around the dials. The pedals were also softer and kept their unusual position which helped the women find a better driving position when wearing high heels.

　　Under the hood, Peugeot installed a wide engine range, including a newly developed 1.4-liter turbo-diesel that sipped fuel and offered a very long range for the little French car. For those interested in a sportier version, the carmaker also offered a 138 PS (136 HP) version.
