The waiting is over as Peugeot dealers introduce the new 207, bringing one of the world's most stylish, dynamic and quality small cars to the showroom.

Hamble Motors, Gates of Brockenhurst, Southgate Winchester and Southgate of Romsey all have launch events organised.

The 207 will sit between the iconic 206 and the dynamic 307 and will build on Peugeot's existing reputation for style and driveability.

The driving experience is second-to-none, with a fully adjustable driving position, impressive power steering, a slick gear change and an exceptional ride that allows you to glide over some of the most troublesome potholes and road bumps.

With the option of the attractive Cielo panoramic glass roof, which is perfect for the summer months, and the reassuring thud as you close the doors, the 207 truly gives the owner the drive of their life every time.

With such high specification of safety equipment, it's no surprise that the 207 has been awarded five stars by Euro-NCAP for occupant protection. It also received a three-star rating for pedestrian protection and a four-star rating for child protection, which is the highest aggregate score achieved so far by a car of this size.

The engine compartment has been designed bearing pedestrians in mind, with two impact absorption structures that reduce the effects of a collision.

The 207 comes with a vibrant choice of 13 exterior colours, carefully matched to a range of interior trims. Upholstery materials include velour, cloth and leather and designed to suit all tastes.

The 207 is available with a choice of engines, which include 1.4 litre and 1.6 16-valve petrol units and a range of HDi direct-injection diesels.

The 207 will provide customers with the best of both worlds, as it offers big car comfort and quality with small car agility. With a superior standard available on each model and a starting price of just £8,995 on the road, it couldn't be easier to own a new Peugeot 207.
