Peugeot 207 SW

Completing the 207 line-up - which comprises three and five-door hatchbacks, the folding hard-top CC and range-topping GTi - predictably, the newcomer offers the most space for both passengers and luggage. It sits on the same wheelbase as the five-door, but is 119mm longer and 38mm taller - all of which has been added at the rear. The adoption of an inverted C-pillar - similar to that on the 407 SW - looks good, and means rear passengers have great visibility.

Accurate steering, decent agility and a fairly compliant ride. Standard equipment is generous, too, with the Sport model getting alloy wheels, figure-hugging front seats and air-con. Peugeot will also offer a better-specified S variant.
