Peugeot 107

Peugeot 107 at a glance

The 107 is the smallest Peugeot of its era in our Peugeot catalogue, below the 207.

Generations and model history

The 107 had one generation. It was developed under PSA's B-Zero project together with Toyota, and the three versions differ mainly in their front ends, rear lights and badges; the Toyota Aygo has more detail differences than the two French cars. The 107 even shares its rear light clusters with the C1, but with a different red lens. Production started in June 2005, and the 107 effectively replaced both the 106, which had ended in July 2003, and the short-lived 1007 at the bottom of the range.

The February 2009 facelift brought a new front bumper, a wider grille with the number plate moved below it, two side vents, new interior trim and a revised clutch, and CO2 emissions fell from 109 to 106 g/km. The second update, premiered at the Brussels Motor Show in early 2012, added a new bonnet and front bumper with integrated daytime running lights, plus a leather steering wheel and new gear lever on higher trims. The Peugeot 108 replaced the 107 in July 2014.

Engines, transmissions and performance

Peugeot's international data give the petrol engine as 51 kW (69 PS) and 12.3 seconds to 100 km/h; ADAC lists the German five-door at 50 kW (68 PS) and 13.7 seconds. Both engines drive the front wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox. The petrol could also be ordered with the 2-Tronic automated manual, also a five-speed unit. The diesel was not offered in every market; in Germany the 107 was sold only with the petrol engine.

Dimensions, space and boot

The 107 is about 25 cm shorter than the 106 Phase II, and its 130-litre boot is small even by city-car standards: enough for shopping, not for a family holiday. In the city that compact footprint is the point.

Fuel economy and running costs

On the old NEDC cycle the petrol 107 used 4.3-4.6 l/100 km with CO2 emissions of 99-109 g/km; ADAC lists the 2005-2008 five-door at 4.6 l/100 km and 108 g/km. The 1.4 HDi was rated at 4.0 l/100 km and 109 g/km. With a kerb weight under 900 kg and a 35-litre tank, a full tank covers well over 700 km on the official figures. Our cost of ownership calculator helps estimate the full cost per year.

Trims, equipment and prices

German list prices (ADAC) began at EUR 9,750 for the three-door 1.0 70 Petit Filou in 2005; the five-door Filou cost EUR 10,700 and the 2-Tronic added EUR 600. After the 2012 update the entry Access three-door was still EUR 9,750 (2012), while the five-door Active 2-Tronic cost EUR 11,800. Across Europe the 107 was sold in around 15 trim levels and editions, among them Access, Active, Allure, Envy, Sportium, Urban, Urban Move and Verve.

Safety

When Euro NCAP first tested the triplets in 2005, they earned four stars for adult occupant protection. After the facelift Euro NCAP retested them in 2012 under stricter rules and gave the 107, C1 and Aygo three stars, with 68% for adult occupants, 73% for child occupants, 53% for pedestrians and 71% for safety assist. The test body criticised the lack of standard side airbags and electronic stability control; ESC was optional on some versions and PSA and Toyota committed to fitting it, side airbags and ISOFIX as standard from July 2013. See our safety section for how the rating system changed.

Reliability and known issues

ADAC data point to good reliability. In its breakdown statistics published in May 2010, the 107, C1 and Aygo ranked top of the smallest-car class for cars aged one to four years. In January 2010 PSA recalled under 100,000 Peugeot 107 and Citroën C1 cars after Toyota's worldwide accelerator pedal recall, because the pedal could stick partly depressed or return slowly. Used buyers should check that this work was carried out.

Sales

European sales rose from 19,610 in 2005 to a peak of 117,920 in 2009 and were still 85,858 in 2011. They fell to 24,356 in 2014, the last full year.
