2011 Peugeot 207 1.4 MT Envy 5dr.

The UK launch was on 8 June 2006. Amicus and the TGWU, both unions representing workers at PSA's UK manufacturing plant in Ryton, Coventry, chose the same day to launch a campaign calling for the boycott of PSA's Peugeot and Citroën vehicles in the UK. The campaign was in protest against the company's plans to close the Ryton plant.

The 207 is designed to be the successor to the 206. However, Peugeot has decided to keep the 206 in production until 2010, though since December 2006 production has taken place in Poissy, near Paris rather than at the Ryton plant in England. The 207 is based on a modified version of the platform used for the Citroën C3, and is built in Poissy and a new plant near Trnava, Slovakia.

Initially three petrol engines were available: 1.4-litre 8v with 75 or 16v 90hp (67kW) and 1.6-litre 16v with 110bhp (82kW; 112PS). From late 2006, the 1.4 & 1.6 16v models were replaced by the new 1.4 vti 95bhp (71kW; 96PS) and 1.6 vti a 120bhp (89kW; 122PS) Valvetronic engines. Two turbocharged versions, one with 150bhp (112kW; 152PS) , and the other with 175bhp (130kW; 177PS) were also added to the range. The latter three engines result from the cooperation agreement between PSA and the BMW group. The diesel-powered engines available are a 1.4 litre 70hp (52kW) or a 1.6 litre HDi with maximum output of 90 or 110hp (82kW), the latter with the addition of an intercooler.
