Peugeot launches new Peugeot 107 and 207 Sportium Special Editions to add
even more fun and style to the ever popular city car ranges.
The 107 Sportium Special
Edition, based on the standard 107 Urban model, is available with a 1.0 litre
petrol engine and five-speed manual gearbox.
With CO2 emissions of
103g/km and a combined fuel consumption of 62.77 mpg it will ensure that
motoring budgets go as far as possible. | 
| Available as a three and five
door model, it combines the standard specification of the Urban model of: electric
power steering, four airbags, remote control central locking, electric front
windows, height adjustable steering, stereo radio / single CD player with MP3
socket, ABS, EBFD, CSC, colour-coded door handles - with the following extra standard specification: tinted rear windows, 14"
alloy wheels, air-conditioning and "white" door mirror covers and interior
detailing.
The 3dr 107 Sportium 1.0 SE
is £9,945 and the 5dr is £10,295. | | | | Peugeot's popular 207 Sportium
range expands with the introduction of two new engine options and state of the
art Clarion Multi-media navigation system with Bluetooth.
The
207 Sportium Special Edition hatchback, based on the standard 207 Active model,
is now available with a choice of two petrol and two HDi diesel engines. The
petrol engines consist of a 1.4 litre 8v and 1.4 litre VTi 95 engine, and the
HDi diesel engines are the 1.4 litre HDi 70 and 1.6 litre HDi 92. All
engines are Euro 5 compatible.
The
eight three or five door models are priced from under £12,100 to £14,400. | | | | The Saab 9-5 range is
substantially extended and improved for Model Year 2012 by the introduction of
the recently announced SportWagon and a series of enhancements, including
further reduced CO2 emissions for all engines.
The much awaited
SportWagon adds five-door versatility to the acclaimed attributes of the 9-5
Saloon, providing a distinctive, alternative choice for premium wagon
buyers. |  | It is expected to become a major player in a vehicle segment where
Saab, with its tradition for designing sporty but practical vehicles, has
previously enjoyed sales volumes even higher than saloon levels.
Both the 9-5 Saloon and
the SportWagon benefit from more efficient diesel and petrol engines, all of
which deliver reduced CO2 emissions and improved fuel consumption. Refinements
include a host of fine-tuning measures and the introduction of Start/Stop functionality.
CO2 emissions are reduced on average across the range by 4.7% percent.
Saab chassis engineers
have also made the latest 9-5 range even more fun to drive. Extensive testing
and development work on UK roads has achieved greater ride refinement, particularly
on rough surfaces.
Inside, the spacious cabin
is given a new look with the addition of metallic-like trim finishes for both
Vector SE and Aero variants. Satellite navigation and digital radio (DAB) also
become standard on all models.
"The latest 9-5 range
offers customer benefits across the board, with lower emissions, improved fuel
consumption, enhanced cabin features and even better driving dynamics," says
Saab Great Britain Managing Director Charles Toosey. "The New 9-5 SportWagon is
also a stunning addition to the range which substantially broadens the appeal
of our product offer. It builds on Saab's strong brand tradition for
versatility, and will provide a compelling choice for customers who value
distinctive design, premium quality and great flexibility."
The order book for the
latest 9-5 range is now open with customer deliveries commencing in Autumn
2011. The all-turbo powertrain line-up, with a choice of two diesel and three
petrol engines, provides a power bandwith from 160 hp to 300 hp.
On-the-road prices range
from £26,995 to £39,195, the SportWagon adding five-door versatility at a price
premium of just £1,200 over the Saloon.
