During the early 1990s, Peugeot decided not to directly

replace the Peugeot 205, citing the reason that superminis
were no longer profitable or worthwhile. Instead, Peugeot Layout Front-engine, front-wheel-
followed a unique strategy and decided that its new, drive
smaller, supermini, the Peugeot 106 (launched in 1991), Related Peugeot Hoggar
would take sales from the lower end of the 205 range
while the lowest models of the Peugeot 306 range, Citroën C2
launched in 1993 to replace the Peugeot 309, would take Citroën C3
sales from the top-end 205s. Between the 106 and 306, Peugeot 1007
Peugeot hoped that the 205 would not need to be replaced,
and could be phased out slowly, while customers who IKCO Runna
would normally plump for the 205 would continue to have Powertrain

did not work. With the 205 phased out, other superminis
like the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo continued to sell 1.0 L Renault D4D I4

competitor to these cars Peugeot was losing sales fast. A

Chronology
The Peugeot 206 was mainly manufactured in Peugeot's
Predecessor Peugeot 205
Poissy and Mulhouse factories in France until 18
December 2012, as well as in Ryton, United Kingdom, Successor Peugeot 207
whereas outside Europe it was produced in Iran (Iran
Khodro), Chile (for the Mexican and Colombian markets, French-made 206s were cheaper than Chilean-
built ones, in Chile), Argentina (PSA), Brazil (PSA), Uruguay (Oferol), China (Dongfeng), Indonesia
(Gaya Motor) and Malaysia (Naza). In 2003, it received a minor facelift, getting clear headlights, different
rear clusters, new side repeater lamps, chrome badges, a new range of colors, as well as other subtle interior
revisions.[25]

The Peugeot 206 was also assembled at its Ryton facility in

Coventry, England, however, with the introduction of the 207 to
the range, Peugeot decided to close the Ryton factory, ending the
206 production in 12 December 2006 and move production to
Slovakia, due to the fact that they could produce their vehicles
with same or better quality for a lower price there.

Peugeot 206 Van The Peugeot 206 proved to be a sales success all over Europe. It
was one of the best-selling car in Europe from 2001 to
2003[26][27][28] and it was the best car of the year in the UK for
three consecutive years, between 1998 and 2001. The 1.4-litre XR was the best-selling model. On 26 May
2005, the 206 celebrated the five millionth unit produced since its commercial launch on 10 September
1998. Sales in the United Kingdom were strong from the start, with the 206 regularly being among the
nation's five most popular new cars during its first six years on sale. Second hand examples of the 206
traditionally hold their value well, due to high demand.[29]

Production in Brazil took place in Porto Real, Rio de Janeiro, starting in 2001 with the hatchback, followed
by the station wagon version in 2005. The models produced there featured 1.0-litre 16-valve, 1.4-litre 8-
valve and 1.6-litre 16-valve engines, the last two of which are flexible fuel engines (petrol/ethanol). The
1.0-litre version used a Renault-sourced engine and was produced until 2006.

The Peugeot 206 has also been produced in Villa Bosch, Buenos Aires, Argentina, from July 1999 to
December 2016.[30] The trim levels manufactured are XR, XRD, XS, XT and XTD. The diesel powered
versions use the naturally aspirated DW engine. Some of these versions are equipped with local-made
engines in Jeppener, Buenos Aires.

In May 2006, the Malaysian car manufacturer Naza launched a locally assembled version of the model with
the name of 206 Bestari. In 2006, Peugeot started production of the 206 in China. In September 2006,
Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile launched a slightly modified Peugeot 206 called the Citroën C2
(this car was not related to the European-market Citroën C2).

Body styles

206 SW (T12)

In 2001, Peugeot showcased a near-production concept version of the 206 SW ("Space Wagon").
Developed with the codename T12,[22] the production model was released in 2002 and was manufactured
at the Ryton plant. It adopts a reinforced rear axle in order to support the excess weight. In 2007, the 206
SW assembly line was moved to Poissy after the Ryton plant was closed. By the end of its production,
 366,000 units were produced.[31]

Peugeot 206 SW

206 SD (T13)

A notchback sedan model was introduced in Iran in 2006.[32]

Developed under the codename T13,[22] it was jointly designed by
the Peugeot Design Center for Iran Khodro and is the fifth and last
version of Peugeot 206 models.[33]

Since 2006, Iran Khodro started exporting the 206 SD to other

countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Romania, Bulgaria,
and Algeria, along with Serbia, Montenegro and Macedonia.[34]
Peugeot 206 SD (Sedan)
It was also produced in Brazil, starting from October 2008, with
the front end of the 206+ and sold as the 207 Passion. It was not
related, however, to the 207 sold in Europe. It was removed from offer in the first quarter of 2015.[35] This
model was also offered throughout the rest of Latin America, including in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay,
Colombia, Ecuador or Mexico.

In Malaysia and China, it was also locally produced and sold as the 207, solely as a sedan version.[36]

206 CC (T16)

The Peugeot 206 CC was formally

launched at the Paris Motor Show in
September 2000 and was based on the
Peugeot Two-oh-heart concept car,
revealed two years before at the
Geneva Motor Show.[10] It is a coupé
cabriolet featuring a powered fold-away
Peugeot 206 CC, with the roof retracted and unretracted
roof based on the Georges Paulin
system, first seen on the 1935 Peugeot
402 Eclipse coupe.

It was developed with the codename T16.[22] The roof-trunk modules, specific to the CC are manufactured
in Cerizay, France, by the French company Heuliez,[37] which is specialized in producing short series for
niche markets such as convertibles or station wagons, while final assembly took place in Mulhouse.[38]
Production was stopped in early 2008,[37] and it has since been replaced by the 207 CC.

Variants
Grand Tourisme

In order to homologate the 206 World Rally Car, Peugeot needed to sell road going versions of the 206 that
were at least 4.0 metres long (the minimum length stipulated by the FIA for WRC cars). The WRC car was
homologated with the 206 Grand Tourisme, similar to the standard 206 but with front and rear body
extensions to bring the car from the standard road car's 3.83 meters to the rally car's 4 metre length.[39]
4000 cars in total were produced, each with a unique number on a plaque on the door pillar both sides. 600
right-hand drive cars were produced for the UK. The mechanicals fitted to the Grand Tourisme were what
was fitted to the upcoming 206 GTI, not yet released.

GTi 180 and RC

Introduced to the market in 2003, the Peugeot 206 GTi 180 and
206 RC brought high performance to the product range. The range
topping GTi 180 was brought to the UK market, while the 206 RC
was introduced to the rest of Europe. The new 'hot hatch' used the
2 litre EW10J4S engine, which produced 175 bhp (130 kW;
177 PS) thanks to variable valve timing and modified inlet and
exhaust manifolds. Other features on the 206 GTi 180 and 206 RC
include 17 inch alloy wheels, racing bucket front seats, a short shift
Peugeot 206 GTi 180 3-door
gear linkage and altered gearbox ratios (1st & 2nd gears). The new
hatchback (Australia)
car was capable of reaching 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.4 seconds.

The 206 GTi 180 and 206 RC were produced to celebrate

Peugeot's rallying successes from 2000 to 2003, and to replicate the success Peugeot had with the 205 GTi
in the 1980s.

206 Escapade

Following brands like Fiat and Volkswagen, Peugeot sells an off-roader version of the Peugeot 206 in
selected South American markets, called the Peugeot 206 Escapade.[40] It is essentially a Peugeot 206 SW
station wagon with a rugged SUV-like bodykit and higher and tougher suspension. It is powered with a
1.6L 16v engine.

206 French Dream

The 206 French Dream Edition was launched in late 2007 exclusively in France, targeting french middle
class large families. The 206 French Dream Edition was available with interesting financing plans, at
slightly higher or equal price than the base model, depending on dealerships. It featured an exclusive
metallic paint job, and was offered with a comfort package, including air conditioning, french flag colored
seat fabric and Disney themed sun shades. It was powered with the 1.1L TU1JP engine.

Citroën C2

In November 2006, the Chinese joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën launched a derivative version of
the Peugeot 206 known as the Citroën C2. While it shares the same nameplate with a European-market
model, it is instead a 206 with a modified front and rear body.[41] [42] In 2012, Citroën released a
crossover-styled version called the Citroën C2 Cross. Almost 80,000 Citroën C2 were produced in China
from 2006 to 2013.[43]
Naza 206 Bestari

In Malaysia, the 206 was also

marketed under the Naza name.
It was sold as the Naza 206
Bestari, and was available in
1.4L petrol engine (TU3JP),
and with the option of 5- speed
Citroën C2 (front) Citroën C2 (rear)
manual transmission and 4-
speed automatic transmission
(codename AL4). It was
replaced by the 206 SD, which was renamed as the 207 in Malaysia.[36]

206+ (2009–2013)
The 206+ is a facelifted version of the 206, with a new front end
and styling, similar to the European 207. It was manufactured in
Mulhouse, France,[44] and was launched in February 2009.[45]

In May 2008, Peugeot's Brazilian branch announced it would not

Peugeot 206+, also marketed under
the Peugeot 207 nameplate in South
America
manufacture nor import the Peugeot 207 to Brazil, but instead it
would change some elements of the 206 already in production,[46]
arguing it would be impractical to do otherwise. The car, launched
in August 2008, had minor changes to mechanical parts such as
the suspension and gearbox.[47] It is marketed between the original
206 and the European 207, having the Volkswagen Fox, Renault
Clio Campus and the Chevrolet Agile as its main competitors. It is offered in 3- and 5-door hatchback,
estate and 4-door saloon bodystyles, including a facelifted 207 Escapade.

The car is sold under the "207 Compact" nameplate in Argentina

(country in which it is also produced) and Uruguay, in order to
differentiate it from the European 207 CC and RC, which are also
sold in those countries. Peugeot planned to name it "207 Brasil" in
Brazil, but soon dropped the "Brasil" from the name, as this
decision gained generally negative reactions from the media.[48]
The Brazilian 207 has also been criticized because it was
perceived essentially as a facelifted 206, despite Peugeot's efforts
Peugeot 206+ hatchback
to market it as an entirely new car and even selling it at a higher
base price.[49]

In February 2009, Peugeot announced that this revised model will

be made in France, at the Mulhouse plant, for the European (left-
hand drive only) market, badged as the 206+.[50] as a patriotic
recession-beating rejoinder to Renault's initiative of importing low
priced Dacias from Romania. In May 2009 the company
announced the recruitment of an additional 450 workers to support
production at Mulhouse of the 206+ and the two door 308 models
also assembled at this facility. This plant exported the model under Peugeot 207 Compact Sedan in
the 207 Compact nameplate to Chile (since 2010), Mexico (2009– South America, the sedan version
2011) and the Dominican Republic. featuring the front end of the
facelifted 206+
From October 2010, Naza Group started the assembly of the 207
sedan in Malaysia.[51][52][53] It was also exported throughout
RHD Southeast Asian and South Asian markets such as Thailand, Indonesia, Brunei, and Sri Lanka.[54]

Iran Khodro Company (IKCO), which produces the Peugeot 206 in Iran since April 2001, has announced
the production of the "207i" in hatchback version. In the initial phase, 5,000 Peugeot 207i (206+) cars
would be produced by the end of the current Iranian year (March 2010), and will increase to 15,000–
20,000 annually. At the end of year 2011, 207i producing in IKCO stopped temporary during relation cut
between IKCO and Peugeot because of international sanctions against Iran. However, in early 2016 its
production restarted in Iran.

From May 2013, Peugeot no longer offers the 206+ in Europe due to higher demands of the newer 208 and
the introduction of the 207-based 301.

Motorsport
In 1999, Peugeot Sport unveiled the 206 WRC, and it competed for the first time in that year's World Rally
Championship, with French tarmac veteran and long-time marque stalwart Gilles Panizzi narrowly failing,
against a resurgent reigning champion in Mitsubishi's Tommi Mäkinen, to win the Rallye Sanremo. The car
was soon a success, however, and won both the manufacturers' and drivers' championships in 2000,
Peugeot's first such accolades since their withdrawal from the WRC after Group B was banned after the
1986 season, and achieved in the hands of Panizzi, Francois Delecour and Mäkinen's successor as drivers'
world champion, Marcus Grönholm.

For 2001, Grönholm competed alongside two refugees of SEAT's exit from the championship at the end of
2000; compatriot Harri Rovanperä and the French 1994 world champion, Didier Auriol. Rovanperä and
Auriol each contributed single wins, on Swedish Rally and Rally Catalunya respectively (the former to be a
 sole career win for the Finn, and the latter victory helped by
assorted problems for the blisteringly quick debuting Citroën Xsara
WRCs), before Auriol left the team at the end of the season.
Grönholm, meanwhile, suffered sufficient reliability woes in the
first half of the year such that he could manage no higher than
fourth overall in the series, although Peugeot did fend off Ford,
with a 1–2 result by the two Finns on the season-ending Rally of
Great Britain to successfully defend the constructors'
championship title.
Juuso Pykälistö piloting a Peugeot
In 2002, Grönholm –
206 WRC at the 2003 Swedish Rally
despite now being paired
in the factory line-up with
defending 2001 champion
from Subaru, the Briton Richard Burns – led Peugeot to a repeat of
the WRC title double aboard his 206 WRC. His dominance that
year was compared to Michael Schumacher's dominance of
Formula One. In summary, Peugeot won two drivers'
championships, in 2000 and 2002, and three manufacturers' titles
in a row between 2000 and 2002. However, by 2003 the 206 Grönholm's 2003 206 WRC on
WRC was beginning to show its age and was less effective against display
the competition, notably the newer Xsara WRC and the Subaru
Impreza WRC, so it was retired from competition at the end of the
season, to be replaced with the 307 WRC, albeit, unlike its predecessor, based not on the production
version's hatchback, but its coupé cabriolet body style.

The Peugeot 206 WRC was awarded the Autosport "Rally Car of the Year" in 2002, preceded by the Ford
Focus RS WRC and followed by the Citroën Xsara WRC. Peugeot GB created a Peugeot 206 rally
championship aimed at young drivers. The championship was created to help young drivers develop their
careers. The cars were built by Vic Lee Racing and drivers such as Tom Boardman, Luke Pinder and Garry
Jennings all drove in the championship.

Advertising
In 2003, Peugeot launched a popular television commercial for the Peugeot 206 directed by Matthijs van
Heijningen,[55] with Creative Direction by Roberto Greco[56] and Giovanni Porro[57] from Euro RSCG of
Milan-Italy, known as "The Sculptor", involved a young man in India who sees the 206 advertised in a
magazine and then goes about damaging a Hindustan Ambassador (including having an elephant sit on it)
and then spending the night welding it. The following day, the car emerges as an exact replica of the 206's
shape – except with many dents and discolorations. The man then takes his 206 replica driving with
friends, with many interested onlookers. The track playing is "Heaven Is A Place On Earth" by Raja
Mushtaq, later remixed as "Husan", by Bhangra Knights.

The commercial won a number of prestigious international advertising awards:[58]

1. Gold, Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity 2003, Cars category.

2. Gold, Clio Awards 2003, Product/Service: Automotive category.
3. Gold, ADC*E 2003, TV Commercials category.
4. The Cresta Awards 2003.
5. Grand Prix, International Car Advertising Film Festival 2002.
6. Grand Prix, Caucasus International Festival of Advertisement (CIFA) 2002.

9. Gold, EPICA (Europe's Premier Creative Awards) 2002, Automobiles category.
10. Grand Prix, Eurobest - The European Advertising Festival 2002.

In March 2018, the commercial was recreated in celebration of the 206's 20th anniversary. The commercial
is essentially similar to the original, except that the Ambassador became a replica of the Peugeot 208 GTI.
