When the 206 was launched in 1999, Peugeot was facing a lot of competition from superminis, such as the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to place the 206 in between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range. This was done so that the lower models of the 106 and 306 could take sales away from the more expensive end 205s.
The 206 range comprises the hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and station wagons known as the 206 C and 206 SW, respectively. There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h.
