2009 Peugeot 206+ facelifted and continues to live

The striking Peugeot 206 first debuted sometime back in 1999. While it never reached American shores, it did well in Europe. The solid-handling hatchback looked good then and it still looks good today. Its replacement, the 207, was launched more than a year ago, but Peugeot decided to continue 206 production side-by-side since it continued to be popular. In a sign that the 206 is not going away anytime soon, Peugeot has done the unthinkable, facelifting an obsolete model. It is now called the Peugeot 206+, and it debuted at the 2009 Geneva Auto Show.

Available in 3-door and 5-door trims, petrol engines include a 60 hp 1.1L and a 75 hp 1.4L, both 4-cylinder motors. Changes include reshaped bumpers, front fenders and all lights. But it continues to evade the U.S. market.
