Peugeot Hoggar: Pickup Truck Version of 207 Fully Revealed

Following a teaser announcement back in early March, French carmaker Peugeot has fully revealed the Hoggar, a new pint-sized pickup truck designed and developed in Brazil for the domestic market.

Borrowing a name from a two-seater buggy concept from 2003, the Hoggar pickup makes use of a hybrid platform developed from the rear end of the Partner van and the front end of the Brazilian-market 207 supermini, which itself is derived from the older Peugeot 206 and not the latest 207 hatch sold in Europe and other parts of the world.

As a result, the Hoggar pickup is the longest member of the 207 family beating the hatchback by 653 mm, the SW by 453 mm and the sedan Passion by 290 mm.

The Hoggar has a load capacity of up to 742kg or 1,636 pounds and a volume of 1,151 liters. It also features a detachable tailgate that can hold up to 300kg or 661 pounds in weight.

Peugeot's small pickup truck will be launched in Brazil on 15th May, in three equipment levels and two Flex Fuel engine options, an entry-level 1.4-liter unit developing maximum output of 82HP when running on alcohol and 80HP on petrol, and a 1.6-liter version that produces 113HP on alcohol and 110HP on gasoline.

Peugeot 207 Hatch, SW and Outdoor Receive New 112HP Diesel with Six-Speed Gearbox

Peugeot UK is enhancing its 207 model lineup (hatchback, SW and Outdoor SW) for the 2010MY with the introduction of a more powerful Euro 5 HDi diesel engine paired to a new six-speed manual gearbox.

The new 1.6-liter diesel turbo diesel unit that produces 112HP and 270Nm of torque (285Nm with overboost) replaces Peugeot's previous 1.6L HDi engine with 110HP. According to the French automaker, between this new 1.6-liter HDi and its predecessor, more than 50 per cent of the parts have been entirely redesigned.

Peugeot says that with this engine, the 207 Sport HDi 110 hatchback and SW Sport sprint from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in 11.1 sec and reach a top speed of 120mph or 193km/h, while returning a combined fuel economy of 61.4mpg UK, equal to 51.1mpg US and 4.6lt/100km.

On the road prices range from £15,645 for the 207 3door to £17,585 for the 207 Outdoor SW.

New Peugeot Hoggar: Pocket-Sized Pick-Up Truck Based on the 207 Hatch

A new challenger is entering Brazil's lucrative small pick-up truck market as Peugeot's South American arm introduced the Hoggar today. Designed in Brazil, the pint-sized model is a pickup-truck version of the domestic market 207 supermini, which has nothing to do with the European 207 hatch as the Brazilian model is based on Peugeot's previous generation 206 hatch.

According to the French automaker, the Hoggar that borrows its name from Peugeot's funky 2003 beach-buggy concept has a load capacity of 1,151 liters and a payload of 742 kg or 1,635 pounds.

Peugeot's Fiat Strada and Chevrolet Montana rival will be launched in Brazil in May with two fuel-flex four-cylinder engines with a displacement of 1.4-liters and 1.6-liters.

New Limited Run Peugeot 207 S16 is All Show, No Go

French carmaker Peugeot is capitalizing on Kriss Meeke's 2009 Intercontinental Rally Challenge (IRC) driver's title with the creation of the special edition 207 S16 that will be produced in a mere 250 examples, all of which are intended for the UK market.

Unfortunately, despite its dramatic, go-fast looks, the 207 S16 is nothing more than a dressed up 207 Sport 1.6 VTi.

Changes over the Sport model include the standard Bianca white finish that's complemented by a full 207 RC Cup bodykit comprising front and rear spoilers, side skirts and a pseudo rear diffuser, 17-inch Hockenheim alloy wheels, dark tinted rear windows, a 'sports mesh' front grille and special interior badge signed by Kris Meeke.

Buyers can also opt free of charge for vinyl rally graphics that mimic those found on Kris Meeke's IRC winning 207 S2000 rally car.

The 207S16 is powered by the same 1.6-liter four-pot with 120HP found on the Sport model.

The 1.6-liter engine propels the three-door hatch from zero to 62mph (100km/h) in a sober 10.7 seconds and on to a maximum speed of 125mph or 201km/h, while returning a combined fuel economy of 47.1mpg UK or 39.2mpg US - 6.0 lt/100km.

Peugeot's UK arm said that the 207 S16 benefits from over £1,200 worth of additional specification compared to a standard Sport model and is priced at £14,695.
