PEUGEOT 107 HATCHBACK REVIEW

For Peugeot's little hatchback has cheeky looks and a great engine. Running costs are low and quality is solid.

Against The 107 suffers from a stiff ride and poor refinement out of town. The boot is also tiny and access isn't great.

What Car? says

3 out of 5 stars

A smart, solid city runabout that is most at home in town, but isn't embarrassed elsewhere.

Peugeot 107 Hatchback 1.0 Urban 3dr

With the addition of a few luxuries over Urban Lite, this is our favourite trim. And, as it's a little cheaper than the five-door, this three-door model is the pick of the range.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

Jointly developed with Toyota and Citroen, the 107 is chic and cheap transport around town, although it's not so good beyond the city limits. There are three- and five-door versions, but given that you hardly buy a car this size for its practicality, we think it's best to save your money and go for the cheaper three-door model. What's more, don't think you're making a sacrifice by buying the smallest Peugeot - equipment levels are reasonable and you have the added peace of mind of a four-star Euro NCAP rating.

Every 107 has the same three-cylinder engine and qualifies for inclusion in Peugeot's Blue Lion scheme, which means it emits less than 130g/km of CO2. And, if you want your 107 to stand out from the crowd – it is much the same as the Aygo and C1, after all - there's an extensive range of interior and exterior styling accessories that will do just that.
