PEUGEOT 207 SW Outdoor Test drive since 2008

Test drive in Germany: Peugeot 207 SW RC

Powerful compact station wagons in our time are no longer uncommon. New cars with large trunk and a bunch of horses under the hood annually delight customers who are used to traveling with a lot of baggage, but do not intend to abandon speed. Peugeot 207 SW RC falls precisely for this category
Motor from the BMW concern
Under the hood of a spacious Frenchman, the same engine operates as in the version of the Peugeot 207 RC and Mini Cooper S. The 1.6 -liter unit produces power up to 175 hp. And torque 240 Nm. And if you use the Overboost function while driving, so torque grows to as many as 260 nm. In just 7.6 seconds, the car reaches a speed of 100 km/h. The maximum speed is 220 km/h.
Wants to drink like an adult
In the household of the four -cylinder engine, there is quite enough, especially for a car of this class. At traffic lights, a sports station wagon briskly flies forward the rest, leaving sometimes more powerful cars. And only at higher speeds our Peugeot begins to suffocate a little. The official fuel consumption per 100 kilometers, according to the French, is 7.4 liters. During our test drive, even on highways in Austria, where the speed limit is 130 km/h, we were not able to restrain 207 SW RC 8.6 liters per 100 kilometers.
A moderate sports option
From his predecessor option, the Sedan Stugeot 207 SW RC sedan took wheels and tires in size 205/45 R17, the characterization of dampers and the geometry of the front axle. The rest was configured and redone clearly for the goals of a sports compact universal, up to the structure of the case and softer shock absorbers. But did the French try well? It becomes noticeable on the winding village roads, where the car is not as frisky and fast as his younger brother. Plus, unlike a three -door sedan, our 207 SW RC cannot distinguish between such precision steering.
Light
A pleasant solar atmosphere in the cabin creates a panoramic roof, size 1.1 square meters. meters. If the sun suddenly becomes too much, then you can always with one click of the button to start the electric motor, which will close the roof with a special valve. As expected, our candidate also swallows huge amounts of luggage to 1.258 liters with pleasure in the Peugeot 207 SW RC. The maximum trunk length reaches 1.70 meters. If the trunk is not laid out, then its volume still reaches 337 liters, which is enough to place the luggage of a family of three people for a short trip on the weekend. 5 people are placed in the car’s interior, but the front seats could have been comfortable, since fatigue noticeably feel noticeably in long travels.
From 22,000 euros
Peugeot asks for so much for his 207 SW RC. If we take into account the good -fed -fed serial complete set, it is a little. The serial version includes the following elements: glass panoramic roof, wheel discs 17 inches, fog lights, air conditioning, sports seats and parking sensors. For comparison, the Mini Cooper S Clubman with the same engine, but a weaker serial configuration costs 23.900 euros in Europe.
The difference between the 207 RC sedan and the 207 SW RC universal is felt very noticeably, despite the same engine. PEUGEOT 207 SW RC is ideal for young people who actively go to the weekend of the whole family for barbecue. And for 22,000 euros, such a car can be said that almost for nothing!
