TWO new state of the art HDi diesel engines will be fitted across the Peugeot 206, 307 and 407 range. Both engines are the result of the partnership between PSA Peugeot Citroen group and the Ford Motor Company. The standard fitment of PSA Peugeot Citroen's second-generation particulate emissions filter (FAP) also ensures that both engines easily meet the stringent Euro IV emissions standards and provide a reduction in BIK taxation of 3%.

The all aluminium four-cylinder engine offers high performance in terms of driving economy and respect for the environment. With a capacity of 1,560cm, the engine is equipped with a variable geometry turbocharger and an air/air intercooler. It develops a maximum power of 110bhp at 4,000rpm and a maximum torque of 180lb ft at 1,750rpm which, thanks to the "over boost" function - activated with the engine at full load between 1,500rpm and 3,750rpm - can provide a temporary torque increase to 192 lb ft.

This new engine will be fitted to the new 206 GTi HDi 110, a model which will strengthen further the 206 GTi range and become Peugeot's first diesel powered GTi. identifiable by a highly visible red 'i' in the HDi badge on the car's front wings, it will also be the first small (B segment) car to be fitted with a particulate filter.

The 4-7 and 307 hatchback and estate range will also benefit from the new engine which in the 307 range will replace the previous 2.0-litre HDi 110 engine.a
