Detailed analysis of the Peugeot 1007 Urban 1.4 75 · 73 CV (2005-2008)
General description
The 2005 Peugeot 1007 Urban 1.4 75 is a vehicle that, at first glance, sparks curiosity. With its compact design and electric sliding doors, it presented itself as an innovative proposal in the urban segment. Designed for city life, it promised easy access and agile handling, although its launch price placed it somewhat high for its size and features.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the 1007, the sensation is of a practical car, easy to maneuver in urban environments. Its 73 HP engine, while not a powerhouse, is sufficient for daily city driving, allowing for relaxed driving. The electric power steering facilitates parking maneuvers. However, on the open road, the response can feel a bit tight, and the combined consumption of 6.4 l/100km, though reasonable, is not the lowest in its category. The McPherson type suspension at the front and torsion beam with trailing arms at the rear offers a balance between comfort and stability, absorbing road irregularities well.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Peugeot 1007 is, without a doubt, its most distinctive feature. Its electric sliding doors, which open and close with a touch, are an element that sets it apart from most urban cars. This feature not only adds a touch of modernity but also facilitates access in tight spaces. With a length of 3731 mm and a height of 1620 mm, its silhouette is compact and functional. The interior, although not excessively spacious, is well utilized for its four occupants, and the 178-liter trunk is sufficient for daily shopping or a short getaway.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2005 1007 Urban 1.4 75 offered what was expected for its time. Its electric sliding doors were a novelty in the segment. The 1361 cc, 73 HP indirect injection engine, combined with a 5-speed manual gearbox, provided adequate performance for its urban purpose. Electric power steering contributed to more comfortable driving. In terms of safety, it featured ventilated disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear, and its DGT 'C' label placed it in a standard emissions category for its time.
Competition
In the 2005 market, the Peugeot 1007 faced rivals such as the Renault Modus, Opel Meriva, or Fiat Idea, vehicles that also opted for versatility and space in a compact format. However, the 1007 stood out with its sliding doors, an element that, while providing convenience, also raised its price and complexity. Other more conventional urban cars like the Citroën C3 or the Ford Fiesta also competed for buyers' attention, offering more economical options with a more traditional aesthetic.
Conclusion
The Peugeot 1007 Urban 1.4 75 was a car with a brave and different proposal. Its electric sliding doors and peculiar design made it stand out in the urban landscape. It was a practical and comfortable vehicle for the city, with an engine sufficient for daily use. However, its price, somewhat high for its segment, and the complexity of its doors, may have been factors that limited its commercial success. Despite this, it remains a car with personality, offering a distinctive and functional urban driving experience.
