307 Series IIOct 2005

307 Series II

Cleaner styling, revised cabins, improved engines, more standard equipment, new features and the availability of two automatic turbo-diesel models are the weapons in the Peugeot 307 Series II’s armoury.Aping its larger 407 brethren with a gaping bumper-level air intake, the 307 Series II’s corporate nose features an aluminium bonnet that is shorter than before even though the proboscis itself extends 10mm further forward.Along with the redesigned bumpers, there are repositioned fog lights, revised taillights on the hatch and Touring wagon, redesigned hubcaps/alloy wheels and a fresh colour palette.Inside the instrumentation and centre console is new, while the ambience has been lifted with more upmarket trim. On top-line models leather trim ensconces the upper dash.The standard 80kW 1.6-litre single-cam 16-valve four-cylinder unit remains as before. Maximum power peaks at 5750rpm while the 147Nm torque output tops out at 4000rpm.But the twin-cam 16-valve 2.0-litre sees a 3kW power (to 103kW at 6000rpm) and 10Nm torque (to 200Nm at 4000rpm) hike. Now more of the latter occurs earlier – 92 per cent of it at 2500rpm.Even better is the arrival of a 130kW Sport version of the above, featuring a variable valve intake mechanism to help that 27kW power increase peak at 7000rpm. Torque rises only slightly, to 202Nm at 4750rpm.However this engine is only available with a five-speed manual gearbox, unlike the others that offer the existing AL4 four-speed automatic fitted with a sequential-shift facility.On the HDi turbo-diesel front there’s the DV6 TED4 1.6-litre twin-cam 16-valve four-cylinder unit launched in the outgoing 307 in May. It produces 80kW at 4000rpm and 240Nm at 1750rpm, and is Euro IV emissions compliant thanks to particulate filters.It produces 100kW at 4000rpm and 320Nm at 2000rpm – with 20Nm extra on tap in the lower four gears when a quick burst of oomph is needed, to bring the total to 340Nm.The big news for the HDi is that a four-speed automatic transmission is coming in the second quarter of next year. Until now they’ve both been manual-only (albeit a six-speeder in the 2.0 HDi).On the safety front improved airbag performance, better windscreen wiper design, seatbelt buzzers and more protective head restraints for the front seat have been incorporated.

XC TigraOct 2005

XC Tigra

HOLDEN’S rival to the dinky Peugeot 206 CC arrived in Australia just two months before the car it was based on was to be discontinued.As the XC prefix suggests, the Tigra is in fact based on the 2001-2005 XC Barina – the fourth-generation front-wheel drive light car that Holden had sourced from Opel in Germany (via Spain).And all it took was one look at the Tigra’s familiar dashboard to see the Barina touches.But Opel had fashioned an entirely unrelated body, complete with an electric folding metal roof that has become known as the CC – for coupe-convertible.The handsome two-seater convertible was powered by a 92kW/165Nm, 1.8-litre, twin-cam, 16-valve, four-cylinder engine, mated solely to a five-speed manual gearbox.No automatic was offered – an intriguing oversight given the youthful audience the Tigra was aimed at.The single-model specification included dual front and side airbags, anti-lock brakes with brake assist, cruise control, power windows, electric mirrors and a trip computer.

GoAuto Search Words

Search will attempt to find all articles within the system that contain any or all words you are looking for.

You can include words like "and" + "or" for boolean style searching. Some search examples as follows:

  • "Ford v8" - Results will contain the text as it appears in the search "Ford v8".
  • "Ford and v8" - Results will have both "Ford" and "v8" within its contents but may not be sequential as per previous example.
  • "Ford or Holden and v8" - Results found will contain "v8" and also contain either "Ford" or "Holden".

You may also use wildcards represented by an asterisks. For example:

  • "Turbo*" - will find all documents that contain words like "Turbocharged", "Turbo-Diesel".
  • "Ford and v*" - Results will have both "Ford" and any word that has "V", so you may find documents about Volvo that mention Ford.

Please note: Due to the number of articles, searches may take a few moments to respond.
