Peugeot, demonstrating its audacious, innovative approach, has invented a new automotive concept that is unrivaled in its category - the look and dynamism of a real sports coupe. Its level of comfort and safety will allow you to discover the pleasure of driving a real cabriolet with the design that is spacious and reliable and offering unrivaled outdoor pleasure. Through its technology and the uniquely high level of service it provides, Peugeot 206cc is going to make a real mark on its times.
The 206 attracts attention wherever it goes. People smile and wave, others stare in wonderment. It is a happy car, in the way of a smiling front face. The windscreen is enormous, plunging down to a bonnet that is out of sight of even the tallest driver - the view from behind the wheel is panoramic. The level of styling details is impressive: the cabin ventilation air intake grilles on the bonnet, the heavily sculpted rear bumper incorporating a central fog light, those cat's eyes headlights and the hugely wrapped-around rear lights. It is a shape that has a zest, character - and practicality. So beautifully integrated the styling is, that it is not at all noticeable how tall the 206 is, but at 1430mm it is only 5mm shorter than a current Honda Legend. The benefits that flow from that stature can be felt in the headroom, the seats' high hip points and the airy feel within. The side mirrors are enormous - they could be from Commodore or Falcon in dimensions, though not in styling...
A luxurious coupe or a wind-in your-hair cabriolet? You can keep all your option open with the striking Peugeot 206cc. The rigid steel roof simply disappears at the touch of a button- leaving nothing between you and the sky.
The 206 cc is at the cutting edge of technology in terms of active and passive systems. The reinforced chassis gives the vehicle a high degree of torsion rigidity. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is linked to an Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBFD) device that allows you to maintain control of the vehicle when breaking in emergency conditions, whether driving in a straight line or handling a curve. Its single shell structure has a reinforced cabin area, featuring front door chains to limit substantial intrusion.
Peugeot 206cc was specifically designed to combine safety with pleasure. Strengthened "A" pillars and rear safety roll arches are only some of the features built-in for total peace of mind! Among other special features of Peugeot 206cc there are:
1. Air conditioning (excludes Zest).
2. Electronically controlled door mirrors and front windows winders (with one touch controls on the driver's side).
3. Remote central locking system for the doors and the boot, operating using a high frequency remote control unit within distance of approximately twenty meters.
4. Onboard computer.
The prices of Peugeot 206 cc range from 13,495 EURO up to 15,995 EURO.
Jamming a large engine into a small body to gain a performance advantage is a technique as old as the car itself. Thus, take the Peugeot gti's power plant - a cooking DOHC 16 valve two liters; nothing fancy at 102kW and 194Nm. In fact, you can find much the same power and torque in the larger Pug 406. Nevertheless, in a two liter guise, the 406 weighs in at 1315kg, while the teeny 206 tips the scales at 1050kg. Suddenly, the power/weight ratio has become twenty-five percent better... And using the relatively low revving engine (peak power at 6000, redline 6500 rpm) has a further advantage: the 206 can be torqued along, working sedately and just sipping fuel.
Let us not wind up with fancy conclusion, vague analogies of a questionable relevance to the subject at hand and other wonky journalistic techniques. Let us simply say: the Peugeot 206 is made for pleasure- it is made for you!
