Super TestCar reviews - Peugeot - 206 - XT 5-dr hatchPeugeot modelsOverviewPeugeot's 206 has become the most popular car in the company's 100-year plus history29 Mar 2001 By P TIBBLES THE 206 is a beautiful small car that slots in under the 306 in size yet is well enough packaged that it becomes not only an option for those seeking a Corolla-sized car, but perhaps even those after a 306. The 206 brings Peugeot ride and handling qualities, useful packaging and great looks into the lower end of the market and makes a reasonable statement on pricing, especially at the XR entry level. Model release date: 1 September 1999 to 1 February 2001 All car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen Previous modelThe 206 followed the iconic 205 GTi that had been introduced in 1987. With a smaller 1.6-litre engine - the GTi used a bigger 1.9-litre - it was less a hot hatch than a handy performer with useful interior space and plenty of French charm. |
