Peugeot rolled out the millionth 207 two years after its launch in April 2006.
At a rate of 2,500 vehicles per day, the 207 reached the million mark two years after its launch in three-door and five-door hatchbacks. Last year, 521,000 cars have been delivered which enabled the small Peugeot to lead the segment in Europe with 440,000 delivered vehicles despite 70 competitors. The CC variant follows in the tracks of the 206 CC by also taking the top position of its segment, with almost 45,000 vehicles sold in 2007.
The 207 is built at three sites spread throughout Europe. The three and five-door 207, the 207 RC, the 207 SW, and the 207 variants Outdoor and RC are produced in the Poissy factory, located in the Paris region.
Since 2006, the factory of Trnava in Slovakia has been producing the three and five-door 207 body styles; the factory at Madrid in Spain builds the 207 CC as well as the three and five-door versions of the 207.
