Hatch Back Cars in Europe:Peugeot 207

INTRODUCTION:I had been to Europe for a month tour.My passion on cars grew more seeing the wide range of Hatchbacks,Sedans and SUV there by manufacturers like ,Peugeot,Citroen,VW,Nissan,Renault,Ford,Toyota,Alfa Romeo,Seat,Mazda,Volvo,BMW,Audi and Fiat.Here i am giving a brief update on popular hatchback cars across Europe with distinctive styling and features.We look into the Peugeot 207 hatchback which is one of the popular cars in Europe.

OVERVIEW: The Peugeot 207 instantly get you into its admiration with its strikingly signature Peugeot design available in 3 door and 5 door version and also with engine options and trims  in 1.6L diesel ,1.6L VTi petrol and the 1.4L petrol options.There are 42 variants of this model!!! In Europe these cars are called the Super mini segment.The front has a distinctive large petal shape headlamps and the front bonnet has been split on the upper side with the large Lion icon of Peugeot at the centre.The Large chrome grill and side fog lamps enhances the visual appeal of the car.The rear design is minimalistic but fits well to the overall looks of the car.The 207 powered with HDi turbocharged 1.6 litre diesel engine generating 112 BHp and massive 270 nm torque@1750 is pick of the lot.It makes 0-100km/h in 11 secs!!!The top of the line variant comes with features like Cruise control,automatic climate control.The equipment like Air bag for driver and passenger,Anti lock braking systems,central door locking  and power steering. Interior quality and ergonomics are at its best.The superior seats, best driving position,plus top notch quality of the dashboard plastics is a good value proposition. It's far from flawless as some interior colour schemes are too dark.Adults will find the rear headroom and legroom cramped  while the windows are small. The 270-litre boot is decent enough and trails the best in the class.With price ranging from 10000Euro to 16 thousand euros its one of the good cars to own.
