The lower models of both Peugeot 106 and 306 were designed to take sales from the higher-end 205s.

The 206 model range includes a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and station wagons known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC homologated version of 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds, and achieve speeds of up to 210 km/h.
