Start with what the Peugeot 107 is: a 3-door hatchback / 5-door hatchback with Petrol engine, built from 2005 to 2014, in the decade of stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids. What it meant takes a little longer. The shape is credited to Donato Coco.
How it came about
The Peugeot 107 is a city car produced by French automaker Peugeot, launched in June 2005, and produced until 2014. The 107 was developed by the B-Zero project of PSA Peugeot Citroën in a joint venture with Toyota; the Citroën C1 and Toyota Aygo are badge engineered variants of each other, the Aygo having more detail differences from the C1 and 107. The three were manufactured at the TPCA assembly joint venture in Kolín, Czech Republic.
The 107 is a four-seater available as a three or five-door hatchback, replacing the 106, which ended production in July 2003. It shares its rear tail light clusters with the Citroën C1, apart from a different red coloured lens.
The hardware
The engine is Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. On the scales it comes to 790-880 kg. Drive goes through a 5-speed manual / 5-speed automated manual (2-Tronic, Auto5R). The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2340 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
In the Peugeot line-up the Peugeot 107 has a clear place: it replaced the Peugeot 106 / Peugeot 1007; it handed the line to the Peugeot 108; the factory was Kolín (TPCA), Czech Republic. The cars a buyer would have weighed it against include the Aston Martin Vantage, the Audi Q7, the Kia Sportage. Its Peugeot stablemates include the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.
