Peugeot adds six-speed gearbox to 207
Written By Alison Bell Published On: Apr 06 2010 The Peugeot is giving its 207 model some extra oomph by adding a new six-speed manual gearbox and a Euro 5 HDi diesel engine.The 207 Sport HDi 110 hatchback and SW Sport and Outdoor HDi 110 models will now be replaced by new versions fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox and a more powerful HDi 112 bhp diesel engine.
This new 1.6 litre HDi 112 FAP diesel engine meets the requirements of the Euro 5 emission standards and benefits from a number of improvements over the current 110 bhp unit. These include increased performance in terms of driveability and responsiveness, as well as quieter operation, while at the same time reducing CO2 emissions.Thanks to its updated hi-tech design, the four-cylinder engine with a capacity of 1,560cm3 and eight valves, has a maximum torque output of 270Nm at 1,750rpm, an increase of 12.5% over the current engine and, during overboost, 285 compared to 260Nm. It also has a very wide operating range with high levels of torque available at all times, ensuring good driveability and reduced fuel consumption on a day-to-day basis (since the user can drive more often at lower engine speeds): 135Nm from 1000rpm, 242 at 1500rpm, 270 from 1750 to 2000 and 224Nm at 3500rpm. Its maximum power output is 112bhp at 3600rpm.More than half of the parts have been entirely redesigned and the engine uses new combustion chamber system technology and has increased pressure to 1,650 bars, compared to 1600 previously.The engine management software has also been updated to give the unit more comprehensive injection mapping (up to five injections per cycle), improved efficiency and better diagnostics for after-sales service. This helps to improve the homogeneity of the air/diesel fuel mixture for maximum performance, quieter combustion and a reduction of emissions at source.Peugeot 207 Sport models also benefit from improvements to the standard specification with the fitment of dark tinted rear windows and rear electric windows on the five-door hatchback and SW versions.
