Peugeot 1007 D-Day Concept (2005)

Peugeot 1007 D-Day Concept

The Peugeot 1007 is a mini MPV produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot since 2004. It is based on the Peugeot 207 and Citroën C3 platform.

The 1007's unique design features two power sliding doors (as in a large MPV) rather than conventional hinged doors for easier access in cramped spaces and on hills. The car also features user-swappable Cameleo interior trim pieces which cost around €250 for a set. Another innovation is the optional "2-Tronic" semi-automatic transmission (though a similar system was used on the Hudson Commodore of the 1950s, albeit using a vacuum shift), which shares the 206's 1.4 L and 1.6 L petrol engines and 1.4 L diesel engines. For its size, the 1007 is expensive, with prices around €14,000 / £10,000.

Trivia

The 1007 is the first mainstream car from Peugeot to feature a "double zero" number. In English-speaking countries, the name is correctly pronounced "ten-oh-seven", as "one-double-oh-seven" was not allowed because of the James Bond film franchise holding copyright to the phrase "double-oh-seven". In France it is marketed as the "mille-sept".
