The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, instead it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger 306 range. This was so that the lower models of the 306 and 106 could take sales away from the higher top 205s.
The 206 range includes three models including one hatchback (206 CC), a 2-door cabriolet coupe, and a station wagon (206 SW). There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206 known as the 207 GTi that could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and an top speed of 210 km/h.
