Peugeot was in a tough spot when the 206 was launched in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. This was to ensure that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could draw sales away from the more expensive high-end 205s.
The 206 line includes a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, as well as the station wagon, which is known as the 206 C and 206 SW, respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated model of 206 that could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds and attain the top speed of 210 km/h.
