The Peugeot 1007 is a Peugeot car primarily dedicated to urban travel and parking for four people, marketed from 2005 to 2009 .

History 

The 3.73 meter long minivan was presented in the spring of 2002 at the Paris Motor Show as a study Sésame . Particularly striking were the two electrically operated sliding doors , which were also retained in the production vehicle.

With only 120,000 copies sold in four years The Peugeot 1007, 1007 was a commercial failure for Peugeot who prematurely ended his generation .

The 1007 is the first car in the world to have two electric sliding front doors. In Japan, the Toyota Porte , launched six months before the 1007, only has a sliding door on the passenger side. This concept was not followed up by Peugeot.

The interior Caméléo, available in twelve colors, changes "in fifteen minutes watch in hand", with eighteen pieces personalized for a supplement of 250  € . It is especially the two sliding doors, electric and remote controlled that mark the distinction of this model, allowing easy access and get in and out of his vehicle even when a parking space is narrow. These doors have an anti-pinch system which requires a strong pressure on the upper part . The front and rear seats have a rare modularity on this segment. The car was developed from the concept car "Sesame" presented at the Paris Motor Show 2002 and designed by Pininfarina SpA .

The 1007, however, suffered from some defects during its commissioning. The opening and closing times were long. Access to the rear seats was difficult. The chest was small. The first rather weak engines for a vehicle of nearly 1,400  kg in running order, gave it a reputation as a cramped and fuel-hungry vehicle. The decorative accessories to fix only added a touch of color to an interior (oil blue) too low-end. The high price was not justified compared to the services offered in terms of motorization, finish, modularity very below the average of its category (vehicles of an equivalent price).

In 2005, the car was awarded the EuroNCAP crash test with a record score of 36 points, only matched by the Citroën C5 , the Renault Laguna III and the Mercedes C-Class making it a benchmark for passive safety The robotised gearbox, dubbed "2-Tronic", allows two modes of shifting: one fully automated, which eliminates the manual passages in favor of a "free" driving, the other, sequential, which favors manual passages, by action on the gear lever or on the paddles under the steering wheel .

Three engines were planned at launch: a 1.4-  liter, 75-  hp petrol engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 2-Tronic single-clutch robotic gearbox, a 1.6-  liter 110-  hp petrol engine with a 2-Tronic gearbox and a 1.4  liter diesel HDi of 70  ch with manual 5 reports. The limited power of the first engines gave the vehicle a clumsy drive that did not encourage sales.

Starting in April 2006, the 1.4-  liter, 16-valve, 90-  horsepower injection engine is offered. Then from February 2007 it is the 1.6  liter HDi that allows 1007 to benefit from a diesel engine more suited to its mass (more than one ton). This engine saves 4 seconds on the 0 to 100  km / h (11.4  s instead of 15.4  s for the 1.4 HDi 70 maximum speed 172 km / h) and offers a maximum torque between 240 and 260  Nm to 2,000  rpm thanks to the turbo with variable geometry.

An RC version with a 1.6  liter engine increased to 140  hp has never seen the light of day. Peugeot has just marketed a 1007 RC-Line, which takes the 1.6  liter gasoline 110  hp with a 5-speed manual and 2-Tronic for some countries and adds all the trim and decorations of crates of the 1007 RC presented at the 2006 Paris Motor Show .

The car was last offered (2009) with two petrol and diesel engines . Previously, there was also a 1.4 -l 16V gasoline engine with 65 kW (88 hp). All vehicles comply with the Euro 4 standard ; The diesel engine of the HDi FAP 110 with 80 kW has a particle filter (FAP, Filtre à particules). There is the 1.4 HDi with the emission standard Euro 3, 5L.

The 1007 saw its commercialization begin on April 28 , 2005. The vehicle was produced exclusively at the PSA factory in Poissy .
