PEUGEOT 207 VAN

This confirms my suspicions that the Peugeot 206 and Peugeot 207 must be the only car in the world with so many body shell configurations. This is the Peugeot 207 Van, which replaces the Peugeot 206 Van, naturally. It has three engine options, two HDi diesels, 1.4 litre 70 bhp and 1.6 litre 90 bhp and a 1.4 litre 75 bhp petrol engine. As a van, it provides a maximum load area of 1.1 m3 and a payload of 450 kg. This must be the most good looking van in the world.

    nice… but it’s essentially the 2-door 207 with no rear seats. hehe… reminds me of the astra van, but this is way nicer :P

    Huh? Is it any different in terms of size from the normal hatch? All I can see is panels for windows and no rear seat, but yeah, this is easily the world’s most good looking van (if it even qualifies as a van)!

    A van, well enough to fit some flower pots. And that’s about it. Basically a 2 door version with the rear seats removed with no panel window at the rear sides. Another way to look at it is a more budget version of a 2 door.

    207 still using 1.4L 75hp petrol engine? Wouldn’t this be too sluggish to carry any heavy load?

    well, never like Peugeot b4 until saw it in the French movie Taxi 4..
    it looks cool & impressive. Good example of advertisement/promotion
    strategy by Peugeot.

    so French, they only need to carry cheese, wine, pastries. So this is a nice solution. But why cannot add foldable seats? Still works.

    LAME! How can such a highly raked hatch cover offer efficient use of space. Just lame. Just go get a proper van, for goodness sake.

    get a 307SW for more space…. if limited budget, get a Renault Kangoo or Peugeot Partner or Citreon Berlingo there are so much more out there….

    why a 206/207 VAN??? STUPID!

    for business or trade ppl who carry limited load or need limited load space. Why pay for extra big load space that will not be utilise. beside the above van is build on a car chasis, so all the quirkiness of truck chasis (e.g. Avanza) is not there. beside the comfort level is high.

    the petrol 1.4 75bhp engine is same as what is found in local Bestari. look like this engine usage is extended even in Europe.
