Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when the 206 first came out in 1999, mainly from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it didn't directly replace the 205, rather it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the higher high-end 205s.
The 206 model range includes the hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, as well as a station wagon known as the 206 C and 206 SW, respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of the 206 that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7.4 seconds, and reach the top speed of 210 km/h.
