An Overview of the Peugeot Models

The Peugeot 206 was created in the early 1990's with the replacement of the preceding 205 model. Peugeot changed their model under the idea that super mini cars were no longer profitable, therefore a change was in order. The Peugeot 206 did not immediately follow the 205 as the Peugeot 106, 306 and 309 models to capture different levels of sales from prospective customers. The Peugeot 106 was rivaling the Ford Fiesta and Volkswagen Polo with the 306 and 309 models taking the mid and top end sales from the discontinuation of the 205. Because of this, many Peugeot enthusiasts believe the 206 should have been named the 207. The 206, although created early was not released until 1998.

The Peugeot moniker indicates that the 206 immediately followed the 205, but this is not true as other models were released before the 206. The eventual successor, the 207, was finally launched n 2006, but Peugeot recently announced that the 206 will stay in production until the year 2010. The 206 is the best selling Peugeot of all time but the end of the model in the upcoming years will end the '06' generation of Peugeot cars in almost 20 years. The 206 was initially produced in France and England but production switched to Slovakia. The closure of the British plant matched with the closure of the Ryton plant, which Peugeot took over when Peugeot bought Chrysler's European division in 1979.

The Peugeot 306 replaced the 309. The 306 is very similar to the Citroen ZX, which was released to the public two years before the 306 model. Both cars used the same structure and floorplan. The 205 was styled after the Pininfarina styling and has been a better seller. In the 1974 oil crisis, Citroen went bankrupt and Peugeot took over Citroen. This led to the similarities and identical cars produced by both manufacturers.

The 306 Phase 1 came to the market in March of 1993 as a 3 and 5 door hatchback with three different models being offered. The five door was more of a station wagon and was dubbed the "sw" for station wagon. Although not nearly as stylish as the 205, the 306 offered many practical uses in the vehicle. The sw estate model was not a hatchback station wagon, but a sedan with luxurious European styling to accompany the Peugeot racing spirit.

The engines used in the Peugeot cars were offered both in a gasoline and a diesel model. The gasoline engines were four cylinder units, which gained their outstanding reputation from being the power plant in the ever popular Peugeot 205 model. The idea for the Peugeot engines was to have a fair trade off between performance and excellent fuel economy. Three larger capacity engines were available but were restricted to automatic and performance models.

The diesel engines in Peugeot came with an excellent reputation and were largely available in turbo charged models. The original engine displacement for the diesel engines came in a 1.8 liter, but was soon upgraded to a 1.9 liter. The turbocharged Peugeot diesel became an excellent fitting engine to match the 306 as the performance matched similarly sized gasoline cars. The considerable extra weight was overcome by the turbocharged performance.

Peugeot (US / p U ʒ oʊ /; UK / p ɜr ʒ oʊ /; French pronunciation) is a French car brand, part of PSA Peugeot Citroën.

The family business that precedes the current Peugeot company was founded in 1810, and manufactured coffee mills and bicycles. On November 20, 1858, Emile Peugeot applied for the lion trademark. Armand Peugeot build the first car care, a reliable steam tricycle, in collaboration with Leon Serpollet in 1889; This was followed in 1890 by an internal combustion cars with Panhard - Daimler. Because the engine family disputes, Armand Peugeot in 1896 founded the Société des Automobiles Peugeot.

Peugeot company and family who came from Sochaux, France. Peugeot retains a large manufacturing plant and Peugeot Museum there. In February 2014, the shareholders agreed to the recapitalization plan, in which Dongfeng Motors and the French government each bought a 14% stake in the company.

Peugeot has received many international awards for vehicles, including four European Car of the Year awards. In 2013 and 2014, Peugeot ranks at the second lowest average CO2 emissions among the generalist brands in Europe, Renault group car maker into the first rank, with 114.9g CO 2 / km. Peugeot is known as a brand that is highly reliable, citing how the 1950 and 1960 models are still running in Africa or Cuba in the 2010s, in which Peugeot called Lion.

Peugeot has an impressive history in motor sport for more than a century. Peugeot Sport won the World Rally Championship five times, the Intercontinental Le Mans Cup twice (2010, 2011), surpassing Toyota and Audi, the Endurance World Championship twice (1992, 1993), and Intercontinental Rally Challenge Championship three times. Over the past year, Peugeot Sport has surpassed the record set in the climb to Pikes Peak with a Peugeot 208 T16 driven by Sébastien Loeb, and got the winner three of the Peugeot 208 GTi in its class at the 24 Hours Nürburgring race. In 2015, Peugeot returned to Dakar Rally after four victories in the 1980s.

 

Early history

Peugeot family of Valentigney, Montbéliard, Franche-Comté, France, started in the business of manufacturing in the 18th century. In 1842, they added production of coffee, pepper, and salt grinders. The entry of companies into the market is the vehicle by means of crinoline dresses, which used steel rods, leading to umbrella frames, saw blades, wire wheels, and ultimately bicycles. Armand Peugeot introduced his "Le Grand Bi" penny-money in 1882, along with many other bikes. Company car and bike company parted ways in 1926, but Peugeot bicycles continued to be built until today.

Armand Peugeot became interested in the automobile early on and, after meeting with Gottlieb Daimler and others, confident of survival. The first Peugeot car, a, three-wheeled steam-powered car designed by Léon Serpollet, was produced in 1889; only four examples were made. Electric steam is heavy and bulky and it takes a long time heating. In 1890, after meeting Daimler and Emile Levassor, steam was abandoned in favor of four-wheeled car with a gasoline-fueled internal combustion engine built by Panhard under Daimler license. The car was more sophisticated than many of its contemporaries, with a three-point suspension and a sliding-gear transmission. Examples sold to young Alberto Santos Dumont- are exported to Brazil.

More cars followed, 29 were built in 1892, 40 in 1894, 72 in 1895, 156 in 1898 and 300 in 1899. The early models were given "Type" numbers with the Type 12, for example, comes from 1895. Peugeot became the first manufacturer to fit rubber tires (solid, rather than pneumatic) for a gasoline-powered car that year.

Peugeot was a pioneer in motor racing, with Albert Lemaitre won the first motor race in the world, the Paris-Rouen (motor race), in a 3 hp Peugeot. Five Peugeot qualify for the main event, and all finished. Lemaitre finished 3 minutes and 30 seconds behind the Comte de Dion steam-powered car that does not qualify for the official competition. Three Peugeot entered in the Paris-Bordeaux-Paris, where they were beaten by Panhard car 's (although the average speed of 20.8 km / h (12.9 mph), and take the 31,500 franc prize also mark the debut of Michelin pneumatic tires The race, also at Peugeot, they proved to be less durable. However, the vehicle is still very much a carriage without horses in appearance and directed by tillers.

In 1896, the first Peugeot engines built; no longer were they reliant on Daimler. Designed by Rigoulot, the first machine was 8 hp (6.0 kW) horizontal twin fitted to the back Type 15. It also served as the basis of almost exact copy produced by Rochet-Schneider. Further improvements followed: the engine moved to the front on the Type 48 and immediately underneath the hood (hat) in front of the car, instead of hidden underneath; steering was adopted on the Type 36; and they began to look more like the modern car.

Also in 1896, Armand Peugeot broke away from Les Fils de Peugeot Frères to form his own company, Société Anonyme des Automobiles Peugeot, building a new factory in Audincourt to focus entirely on the car. In 1899, sales reached 300; Total car sales for all of France that year was 1,200. In the same year, Lemaitre won the Nice-Castellane-Nice Rally in a special 5,850 cc (357 cu in) 20 hp (14.9 kW) racer.

At the 1901 Paris Salon, Peugeot debuted a small shaft-driven 652 cc (40 cu in) 5 hp (3.7 kW) single-cylinder, dubbed Bébé (Baby), and shed the conservative image, becoming a style leader. After placing 19th in the 1902 Paris-Vienna rally with a 50 hp (37.3 kW) 11 322 cc (691 cu in) racer, and failing to finish with two similar cars, Peugeot quit racing.

Peugeot added a motorcycle to its range in 1903, and they have been built under the Peugeot name ever since. In 1903, Peugeot produced half of the cars built in France, and they offer 5 hp (4 kW) Bebe, the 6.5 hp (4.8 kW) four-seater, and 8 hp (6.0 kW) and 12 hp (8.9 kW) resembling contemporary Mercedes models.

1907 Salon showed Peugeot's first six-cylinder, and marked Tony Huber joining as engine builder. In 1910, Peugeot's product line includes 1,149 cc (70 cu in) two four-cylinder and six-cylinder, between 2 and 6 liters. In addition, a new factory opened the same year at Sochaux, which became a major crop in 1928.

A more famous name, Ettore Bugatti, designed the new 850 cc (52 cu in) four-cylinder Bébé of 1912. In the same year, Peugeot returned to racing with a team of three driver-engineers (breed typical of the pioneer period, exemplified by Enzo Ferrari among others): Jules Goux (graduate of Arts et Metiers, Paris), Paolo Zuccarelli (formerly of Hispano-Suiza), and Georges Boillot (collectively called Les Charlatans), with the 26-year Swiss engineer Ernest Henry to make a reality ideologue their ideas. The company decided voiturette (light car) racing was not enough, and chose to try grandes épreuves (grand touring). They do this by engineering tour de force: a DOHC. 7.6-liter four-cylinder (110x200 mm) with four valves per cylinder It proved faster than other cars of its time, and Boillot won the 1912 French Grand Prix at an average of 68.45 mph (110.2 km / h), although losing third gear and taking a pit stop 20 minutes. In May 1913, Goux took one to Indianapolis, and won at an average of 75.92 mph (122.2 km / h), recording speed directly from 93.5 mph (150.5 km / h). make Peugeot automobile company based non-American first win at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1914, Boillot 3-liter Indy L5 new lap record of 99.5 mph (160.1 km / h), and Duray placed second (beaten by ex-Peugeot ace René Thomas in 6235 cc (380 cu in) Delage). Another (driven by Boillot's brother, André) placed in 1915; similar models won in 1916 (Dario Resta) and 1919 (Howdy Wilcox).

For the 1913 French Grand Prix, an improved L5 (with 5655 cc (345 cu in) engine) was produced with a pioneering ballbearing crankshaft, gear-driven camshafts, and dry sump lubrication, all of which soon became standard on racing cars; unfortunately, Zuccarelli was killed during testing on public roads, but Boillot easily won the event, making him (and Peugeot) the first double winner of the race. For the 1914 French GP, Peugeot overmatched by Mercedes, and despite a new innovation, four-wheel brakes (against the Mercedes' rear only), Georges proved unable to match them and the car broke down. (Curiously, the model 1914 turned 103 mph (165.8 km / h) lap in practice at Indy in 1949, but failed to qualify.) Peugeot more fortunate in 1915, winning at the French GP and Vanderbilt Cup.

During the First World War, Peugeot turned largely arms production, becoming a major manufacturer of arms and military vehicles, from bicycles to tanks and shells.

After the war, car production resumed in earnest. Racing continued as well, with Boillot entering the 1919 Targa Florio in a 2.5 liter (150-in 3) car designed for an event pre-empted by World War I; the car had 200,000 km (120,000 miles) on it, yet Boillot won with an impressive drive (the best of his career) in his Peugeot third in the 1925 Targa, first in 1922 and 1925 Coppa Florios, first in 1923 and 1925 Touring Car Grand Prix , and first in the 1926 Spa 24 Hours. Peugeot introduced a five-valve- per -cylinder, machinery triple-overhead-cam for the Grand Prix, conceived by Marcel Gremillon (who had criticized the early DOHC), but the engine failed.

In the same year, Peugeot debuted 10 hp (7.5 kW) and 14 hp (10.4 kW) fours, the larger based on Type 153, and a 6 liter 25 hp (19 kW) sleeve valve six, as well as new cyclecar, La Quadrilette.
During the 1920s, Peugeot expanded, in 1926 splitting the cycle (pedal and motor) business off to form Cycles Peugeot, division cycle meguntungkan consistently sought to free themselves from a somewhat more automated business cycles, and took over death Bellanger and De Dion companies in the year 1927.

More recently, many manufacturers have offered hardtops withdrawn, including Peugeot itself with the 206-cc.

Three models of the 1930s is the Peugeot 202, Peugeot 302 and Peugeot 402. These cars had curvaceous bodies, with a sloping rear lights bar grille, clearly inspired by the Chrysler Airflow.
