The Peugeot 207 subcompact hatchback has been upgraded using an array of cleaner Euro 5 emissions compliant engines.
While some models in the range are already fitted with Euro 5-compliant powerplants, the update brings the entire 207 family in line with the stringent European standard.
This focuses on lower fuel consumption and reduced carbon exhaust emissions.
The 207 Active Five-Door is now being fitted with Peugeot’s latest EP3C four-cylinder engine.
While the power output of 70 kW at 6 000 r/min and torque peak of 136 Nm at 4 000 r/min are identical to the previous unit, urban-cycle fuel consumption has been reduced.
The carbon emissions rating is also lower.

The 207 1.6 HDi Dynamic Five-Door also benefits from the fitment of a new DV6C turbodiesel engine, now linked to a new six-speed MCM transmission.
Maximum power increases from 80 kW at 4 000 r/min to 82 kW at 3 600 r/min, while the torque peak has been pushed from 240 Nm to 270 Nm at 1 750 r/min.
Overboost torque jumps from 260 Nm to 285 Nm.
The result is a marked improvement in overall driveability and in-gear response, while also boosting environmental compatibility.
Urban-cycle fuel consumption drops to 5,7 litres/100 km, while carbon emissions are reduced to 119 g/km – below the local CO2 emissions tax threshold.

Euro 5-compliant engines are already standard fitment on the remaining 207 models.
This includes the TU3 engines employed in the 207 Urban, and the EP6C unit that powers the 207 Dynamic Five-Door.
While the new HDi turbodiesel engine in the 207 1.6 HDi Dynamic will add R2 000 to the retail price of the car, the existing prices of the remaining 207 derivatives have been maintained.

The 207 Active now features fog lights and front airbags only.
The appearance and standard features on most of the various 207 models also continue unchanged.
This also applies to the combination of striking styling, high equipment levels and dynamic appeal for which the nameplate has become renowned.

The Euro 5 engine line-up is the result of a R13,5 billion investment programme over four years in Euro 5 engine technology by the PSA Group.
The objective is to become a world leader in the field of low-emission powertrains.

The full Peugeot model line-up and retail pricing is:
207 Urban 1.4 Five-Door R159 355;
207 Active 1.4 VVT Five-Door R173 400;
207 Dynamic 1.6 VTi Five-Door R204 000;
207 Dynamic 1.6 HDi Five-Door R221 300;
207 GTi 1.6 THP R252 350;
207 CC Sport 2 1.6 THP R285 000.
All prices include a four-year or 60 000 km service plan.


It looks good, plus it has Euro 5-compliant engines already fitted as standard on the 207 models.
