Peugeot
The Peugeot 106 is one of 334 Peugeot models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 1991. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Peugeot 106 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 1990s were the decade of refinement — airbags and ABS became universal, Japanese build quality set the world standard, and the modern SUV segment was effectively invented. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Dodge Dodge Viper, the Opel Opel Astra, the Volvo Cars Volvo 850 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Peugeot 106 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 954 cc PSA TU engine#TU9 / TU9 Straight-four engine / I4 / 1124 cc PSA TU engine#TU1 / TU1 I4 / 1294 cc PSA TU engine#TU2 / TU2 I4 / 1360&n; kerb weight is recorded at 790 -; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 2,798,200 units, which makes it one of the industry's true mass-production stories.
Within Peugeot's own catalogue the Peugeot 106 sits alongside the Peugeot Onyx, the Peugeot Pars, the DS 5, the GT by Citroen (2005). The record names the Peugeot 205 as its predecessor and the Peugeot 107 as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Laurent Rossi under Philippe Couvreur (exterior) / Paul Bracq (interior). Assembly is recorded at Mulhouse, France / Aulnay-sous-Bois, France / La Marsa, Tunisia (STAFIM).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Peugeot 106 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
