Peugeot 107
Encyclopedia
The Peugeot 107 is a city car
produced by French
automaker Peugeot
since mid 2005.
The 107 was developed by the B-Zero
project of PSA Peugeot Citroën
in a joint-venture with Toyota; the Citroën C1
and Toyota Aygo
are badge engineered versions of the same car, although the Aygo has more detail differences than the C1. All three are built at the new facilities of the Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile Czech
joint-venture in the city of Kolin
, Czech Republic
. It is a four-seater available as a three or five-door hatchback
. The 107 replaces the 106
, which ceased production at the end of 2003 after 12 years.
The rear view of the Peugeot 107 shows the tail light clusters it shares with the Citroën C1, but not with the Toyota Aygo.
In January 2010, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced that it is recalling "under 100,000 units" of the 107 and the Citroën C1, following the worldwide recall
by Toyota for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal - in which the Aygo is affected. Under certain circumstances, the pedal can stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position.
The interior now has more choices of fabrics for the seats and the graphics on the centre console have been changed slightly. Other improvements made to the car can be found in the engine which now produces 106 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre opposed to 109 before and the fuel economy has been improved from 61 mpgimp to 62.8 mpgimp.

2009 Facelift
In February 2009, the Peugeot 107 received a facelift to conform with the new looks given to the Citroën C1 and the Toyota Aygo. The only aesthetic changes made were to the front bumper, interior and wheel trims. The bumper now sports what some refer to as Peugeot's "large mouth" look. The placement of the numberplate has been moved from the black strip in the middle of the grille (which now has a chrome style strip running along it) to underneath the grille itself and two side vents have been added to give the car a sportier look. The wheel trims have also been changed to make the car look more upmarket.The interior now has more choices of fabrics for the seats and the graphics on the centre console have been changed slightly. Other improvements made to the car can be found in the engine which now produces 106 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre opposed to 109 before and the fuel economy has been improved from 61 mpgimp to 62.8 mpgimp.
