The 207 puts Peugeot out in front in September

Peugeot sales increased by 1.3% in a September market which declined by 1% and 207 led a 22% increase in Peugeot small car sales compared to September 2005.

With the September new car market reporting a slight decline of just under 1%, Peugeot has seen it’s sales increase by 1.3%. This growth is also reflected in YTD sales which again out perform the market which is down 3.5%.

The strong performance of the recently introduced Peugeot 207 promoted it to the best selling Peugeot in September. Indeed, the 207 has seen greater early success than that of the iconic 206, with total sales in the first four months of over 16,000 units, an increase of 4% when compared to the first four months of 206 sales way back in 1998/99.

This combined with the success of the Peugeot 107 which to date continues to out sell both its two sister cars - making it the clear favourite of UK customers – helped Peugeot’s small car sales increase by 22%, compared to September 2005.

With the introduction next month of the Peugeot 207 GT THP 150 powered by the jointly designed PSA Peugeot Citroën / BMW Group turbo charged petrol engine, and further new 207 derivatives to be launched next year, Peugeot’s small car sales are set to grow even further.
