Peugeot 107

This is the catalogue record of the Peugeot 107, one of 334 models Peugeot has placed in the historical record and one of more than seventeen thousand cars the MotorJury library tracks. The record places its introduction in 2005. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Peugeot 107 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. 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 Aston Martin Aston Martin Vantage, the Audi AG Audi Q7, the Kia Kia Sportage — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Peugeot 107 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Petrol engine / Petrol: / 1.0 L Toyota Toyota KR engine#1KR-FE / 1KR-FE VVT-i / VTi Straight-three engine / I3 Multi-valve#Four valves / 12V / Diesel engine / Diesel: / 1.4 L Ford ; kerb weight is recorded at 790-880 kg; top speed is given as 160 km/h; drive goes through 5-speed manual / 5-speed automated manual (2-Tronic,Auto5R); 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.

Its place in the Peugeot story

Within Peugeot's own catalogue the Peugeot 107 sits alongside the Peugeot Onyx, the Peugeot Pars, the DS 5, the GT by Citroen (2005). The record names the Peugeot 106 / Peugeot 1007 as its predecessor and the Peugeot 108 as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Donato Coco. Assembly is recorded at Czech Republic: Kolín (TPCA).

How this catalogue works

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.

Why concepts and prototypes are in the library

Most car databases stop at series production. This one deliberately does not, because concept cars, racing specials and cancelled prototypes are where the industry thinks out loud — the ideas tested in public years before they reach a showroom. Holding them beside the production cars they inspired makes the lineage legible: nearly every landmark road car in this library has a concept ancestor somewhere in the catalogue, and the connections run through the era links on every page.

From catalogue to ownership

The catalogue records what the Peugeot 107 was; the ownership database records what it is like to own. MotorJury computes a verdict for every model year the United States federal record covers — complaints, recalls, real economy — refreshed nightly, with no opinions involved. If this car reached the American market, its verdicts are in there.
