Peugeot 207 SW (07 on) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on 17 December 2007

Last Updated: 26 May 2009

The 207 SW is an estate version of the 207 with a fancier name but usefully adds a practical load area with fold-flat seats. It drives well, is comfortable and comes with plenty of standard equipment including a panoramic glass sunroof. You don't get the same choice of engines as you would if you were in the market for the hatch, but those that do make it into the SW are some of the 207's finest, including a refined 1.6-litre diesel. The Outdoor models feature roof-bars, chunkier bumpers and a bit more ground clearance for a rugged look, but don't be fooled into driving it off-road as it's no different under the skin.

Great for small families looking for extra practicality, decent-sized boot, standard panoramic glass roof

Poor five-speed gearbox, not large enough for bigger families, other small estates offer better value
