On Russian roads Peugeot 1007 appeared in the middle of zero years. According to the established tradition, this model was first presented at one of the European showrooms. In recent years it is considered a good form to create intrigue around each new model. When the design team embarks on another development, it is not yet known how their efforts will end, but it is mandatory to inform all interested persons about the commencement of work. Stakeholders are competitors and the media. Competitors need, what is called, to strain, and journalists to toss information.
It all went according to the established standard scenario. The model was still at the project stage, and about the future of the Peugeot 1007 reviews already sounded from different sources. It should be noted that the car turned out to be successful and practically justified all the optimistic forecasts. In many ways, it has non-standard solutions. The Peugeot 1007 has a special gearshift lever . In addition to it there is a button. The fact is that the gearbox of this machine can work in two modes: automatic and semi-automatic. The first option is especially convenient when driving in urban conditions, the second is recommended to choose on the highway. To switch the mode, press the button.
The main difference between the Peugeot 1007 and other vehicles of its class lies in the design of the doors. They are not swinging here, but recoiling. Moreover, they are not retracted manually, but by means of an electric drive. Experts and analysts immediately recognized this as an original solution. At the same time, it should be noted that the task of designers was not to impress the public. With the help of this method, the problem of parking in urban conditions is solved. Today, the above problem is being fought in all megacities of the world. I must say that to some extent this goal has been achieved.
At the same time, we must add that the Peugeot 1007 looks very convincing in all other characteristics. The comfortable and spacious interior is equipped with two separate rear seats. They can be moved around the cabin and thereby change the volume of the trunk. Of course, this serves as a big plus and allocates a car among other city minivans. As for the configuration, the base model is equipped with a 1.4-liter engine and an automatic gearbox. Added to this is air conditioning, central locking, power steering, tinted windows and an on-board computer.
With regard to the safety of the driver and passengers, the car is equipped with front and side airbags. There are seven in total. One is designed to protect the driver's knees . In the cabin there is a fastener for a child seat. In the following configuration, instead of the air conditioner, a climate control system is installed. Peugeot 1007, the price of which depends on the option package, is in high demand, thanks to a set of options. It should be noted that competing companies are carrying out intensive development in this sector. In order to expect new products, there is every reason.
