Stylish new Peugeot 107 arrives

A new Peugeot 107 will arrive in Ireland this month priced from €12,045 plus dealer delivery related charges, writes Trish Whelan.

It will feature a new face, upgraded interior and enhanced equipment.

The supermini also boasts improved economy and lower C02 emissions, returning combined consumption of 4.3 L/100kms (66mpg) and emitting just 99g/km C02 for the 1.0 litre petrol 5-speed manual version.

The new 107 adopts the new Peugeot face and features a deeper and lower front panel with a housing for the front fog lights, LED daytime running lights and a redesigned front bumper with a new honeycomb radiator grille.

The wheelbase remains unchanged at 3.43m long and 1.86m wide. The cabin provides plenty of space to transport four people in comfort. The boot offers 139 litres of space.

There will be one 5-door Active model on offer in Ireland, with a choice of a 1.0 litre petrol 5-speed manual or a 1.0 2-Tronic gearbox (104g/C02). Front fogs, four speakers and very low resistance tyres will now come as standard on the Active model and the 2-tronic model will be fitted with a leather steering wheel and leather gearknob.

The 107 offers Peugeot's four year warranty and four year roadside recovery offer up to the end of March 2012.
