SW Overview:
Peugeot 206 (SW). With 90 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~8.5 l/100km). Weighing only 999 kg, it’s quite light. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.7 s). The top speed reaches 172 km/h. A car with an extended rear cargo area, combining passenger comfort with increased storage. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Peugeot 206 (hatchback, on which the SW is based) achieved a respectable 4-star Euro NCAP rating for adult occupant protection in 2000, which was a good performance for its time, though modern standards have advanced significantly.
