Overall Rating
Peugeot 206:
The Peugeot 206 is a supermini car designed and produced by the French car manufacturer Peugeot since May 1998 as a replacement to the Peugeot 205.

Sedan Overview:
Peugeot 206 (Sedan). With 111 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. Acceleration is relatively slow (0–100 km/h in 14.6 s). The top speed reaches 170 km/h. A four-door car with a separate trunk, ideal for families and daily commuting. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The Peugeot 206 Sedan was not directly tested by Euro NCAP. The hatchback variant achieved 4 stars in 2000, suggesting a reasonable but not class-leading safety standard for its era.
