Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. The lower models of both the Peugeot 106 and 306 were designed to take sales from the more expensive 205s.
The 206 model range includes a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and a station wagon known as the 206 SW and CC respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated version of 206 that could accelerate from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve the top speed of 210 km/h.
