Peugeot 307 SW (02-07) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Last Updated: 19 January 2007
The 307 SW is one of those cars that borrow the lifestyle tag. It's attractively styled, practical, and can hold a couple of extra kids - that's why Peugeot thinks you need one. It also takes the best bits from the 307 hatchback, including a wide choice of engines, good levels of safety and lots of room. Peugeot dealers usually have a good deal on, too. If you don't need the extra seats, then 307 comes as a traditional estate, too.

Economical engines, especially from the frugal diesel models, reasonable insurance and relatively strong resale values. Long service intervals; parts and servicing costs are reasonable.

Emissions summary

307 is an environmentally friendly choice for green buyers. With an average of 165 g/km CO2 across the range, its emissions are quite low for a people carrier. However, it's worth noting that the line up has a high number of diesel models, bringing the average down and giving buyers more choices of low-emission versions. Diesels typically produce less CO2 than petrol engines with similar power outputs. Eco-conscious buyers should consider the 1.6-litre diesel, which is one of the greenest models in the range. The range is also fairly economical, averaging 44 mpg.
