A natural progression to the offroader-looking stationwagon Peugeot 206 Escapade and Peugeot Escapade Concept would be a similar version based on the Peugeot 207, and them French guys have done it – here’s the Peugeot 207 SW Outdoor Concept.
Car manufacturers have realised that the market taste for the classic station wagon look is diminishing, thus offroader design elements like the roof rails and wheel arches have been pumped in to take advantage of the current SUV craze. Some of the features of this concept vehicle which gives us a previous of the upcoming SW variant of the Peugeot 207 are a panoramic glass roof, and a split-opening rear hatch. Expect the over the top lamp designs to be gone when the production version is unveiled.
The engine is a 1.6 litre HDi with diesel particulate filter, making 240Nm of torque from as low as 1,750rpm, with an overboost feature which brings torque up to 260Nm. The engine makes roughtly 107 horsepower at 4,000rpm.

It's a good looking car but it's not a CUV (crossover utility vehicle) which is very popular now, it's just a 'converted' car from a hatchback. I will like it if it's a CUV.
not that tail light….. urgh!
lukily its just a concept!
IMHO, the rear is too short to be consider a wagon….
1 feet plus of space…or less(from the rear seat till rear door)
Naza Citra v2?
this is one nice car… but from the side view, it seems tat the wheel in the front looks more bigger than the rear one… or did i have a mistake looking at the pic?
I suspected that Renault must've infiltrated spies into Peugeot lately. They're really launching screw up cars big time. What the fork is Peugeot doing lately? Got tired of launching good cars?
Looks good… Now, watch it FLOP…
Another 8 year, perhaps become NAZA rebatch model.
The soft roader craze must be hot in Europe.
Very handsome design. The interior looks tame though.
I thought we've had enough of pointless cars, think Hyundai Matrix, seats high, doesn't offer more space than a standard sedan, gives the looks of a MPV but not the space, and now you go, cars that looked like SUVs on the outside…… my god…. .manufacturers are really trying hard launching messed up products….. then use marketing, advertisements to sell their cars.
The French is good at churning out fun and daring designs, but if that could only be employed in the making of the car's reliability and built, I am sure that it would be accepted worldwide, and also enticed would be Peugeot owners.
Whatever the category of this vehicle is to be placed, it looks fun enough to drive around.
The thick tyres which filled the arches made the car looks 'tougher' than its base model, 207 hatch which is a chic kind of car.
