Hybrid-like fuel economy and emissions to come from Peugeot’s even greener 207

Apart from the taller gearing and a small-displacement compression-ignition engine, the 207 Economique achieves its remarkable fuel economy via a 5mm drop in ride height, a redesigned front bumper, 15-inch steel wheels with ‘aero’ hubcaps and low-rolling-resistance Michelin tyres.

The Economique has an aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.274Cd – down from the standard 207’s 0.30Cd – while its claimed 0-100km acceleration time is reduced to a respective 11.7 seconds and 115km/h.

Non-vented and flush but they provide a clean release edge for the air and I assume add to the aerodynamics.
