Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Peugeot 207 GT 1.6 THP 150 offered gratifying sensations. The engine, with its 150 hp and 240 Nm of torque available from low revolutions, provided an energetic response and an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.1 seconds that invited you to enjoy every journey. The electric power steering, although it did not always transmit maximum information, contributed to comfortable driving in the city and sufficiently precise on the road. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and trailing arm with torsional element at the rear, sought a balance between comfort and firmness, although it could sometimes feel a bit harsh on uneven asphalt. The ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs offered adequate stopping power for its performance.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the Peugeot 207 3-door GT stood out for its fluid lines and distinctive front end, with elongated headlights that gave it a feline look. The three-door body accentuated its sporty and compact profile. The 17-inch wheels with 205/45 R17 tires not only improved aesthetics but also contributed to greater stability. Inside, the cabin offered a youthful atmosphere, with clear instrumentation and seats that, without being excessively sporty, provided good lateral support. Despite its compact dimensions, the interior space was reasonable for four occupants, although the rear seats were more suitable for short trips. The trunk, with 270 liters, was sufficient for daily use.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the Peugeot 207 1.6 THP 150 incorporated a direct injection engine with turbo and intercooler, an advanced configuration for its time that allowed it to offer good performance and reasonable efficiency, with a combined consumption of 7 l/100km. The 5-speed manual transmission was precise and well-geared to take advantage of the engine's power. In the safety section, it had the usual systems of the time. Although it did not stand out for a profusion of modern driving aids, its equipment was competitive for its segment and year of manufacture.
Competition
At the time, the Peugeot 207 3-door GT 1.6 THP 150 faced rivals such as the Renault Clio RS, the Volkswagen Polo GTI, or the MINI Cooper S. Each with its own virtues, the Peugeot positioned itself as a balanced option, offering a good compromise between performance, design, and a competitive price of 19,200 euros at its launch. Its THP engine, developed in collaboration with BMW, was one of its strong points against the competition.
