Peugeot’s new 2012 107, that was shown at the Brussels Motor Show, has been given a facelift that brings it in line with Peugeot’s new aesthetic. The new model is the first major change to the Franco-Japanese city triplets for the 107 that was jointly developed with Citroen and Toyota.

Exterior modifications include a tight-fitting look with a sculpted-out area of the bonnet with the combative lion badge. The grille and bumper graphics are lightly retouched too, while the nose has been fitted with LED day-running lights. The model is available as a three or five door.

Under the hood, the 998cc triple has 68bhp and 70lb ft of torque and if pushed far enough, the driver can reach 62mph in just 14.2 seconds. The three-cylinder petrol engine has been adjusted to nudge emisisons under 100g/km by a single digit of CO2

The 107 has also received a technology boost with Bluetooth connectivity and USB plugs for music access.

Priced from just £7, 995, the new 107 will be available in the UK from February the timing of which is perfect to compete with VW’s new Up.
