Peugeot 107: Which Version Should You Buy?

The Peugeot 107 catalogue covers one generation of Mini 5-doors produced from June 2005 to September 2015, including two restylings. The main choice is between the 1.0 MT, the 1.0 EGS and, in the original and first-restyled periods, the diesel 1.4 MT.

The Peugeot 107 catalogue covers one generation of Mini 5-doors produced from June 2005 to September 2015, including two restylings. The main choice is between the 1.0 MT, the 1.0 EGS and, in the original and first-restyled periods, the diesel 1.4 MT. The 1.0 MT is the strongest all-round option in the supplied data: it matches the 1.0 EGS on 68 hp, 93 Nm and a 157 km/h top speed, but accelerates faster and generally uses slightly less fuel. The 1.4 MT diesel offers 130 Nm—37 Nm more than the gasoline engine—but has only 54 hp and the slowest stated acceleration.

Peugeot 107 generations and restylings

The original 1 generation ran from June 2005 through January 2009. It used the Mini 5-doors body and contains five catalogue entries: one 1.4 MT, two 1.0 MT entries and two 1.0 EGS entries. The duplicated gasoline names represent records with the same published technical figures rather than differently named versions.

The 1 generation, restyling covered February 2009 through February 2012. It retained the Mini 5-doors body and again lists five entries: one 1.4 MT, two 1.0 MT entries and two 1.0 EGS entries. Compared with the original period, the gasoline versions gained quicker stated acceleration and lower combined consumption. The rear suspension is also listed as Semi-independent, torsion for the gasoline versions, while the diesel record remains Semi-independent, spring.

The 1 generation, restyling 2 ran from March 2012 through September 2015. It kept the Mini 5-doors format but reduced the catalogue to four entries: two 1.0 MT records and two 1.0 EGS records. No diesel version is listed for this period. These cars are the only ones in the supplied data with stated CO₂ and emissions-class figures: 99–104 g/km and Euro 5.

Peugeot 107 engine and gearbox specs

Both gasoline choices produce approximately 68.1 hp per litre, compared with approximately 38.6 hp per litre for the 1.4 MT diesel. The diesel instead emphasizes torque: its 130 Nm output is approximately 39.8% higher than the gasoline engine’s 93 Nm.

The 1.0 MT and 1.0 EGS share the same front-transverse engine, multi-point distributed injection, 10.5 compression ratio and 71 × 84 bore and stroke. Their peak output is 68 hp at 6,000 rpm, with 93 Nm at 3,600 rpm. The 1.4 MT has a front-transverse turbocharged engine, a 17.9 compression ratio and a 73.7 × 82 bore and stroke; it develops 54 hp at 4,000 rpm and 130 Nm at 1,750 rpm. Its injection-system specification is not measured.

Peugeot 107 performance and fuel economy

For the original 2005–2009 cars, choosing 1.0 MT instead of 1.0 EGS cuts 0–100 km/h acceleration by 0.7 seconds, while their recorded consumption is identical. From 2009 onward, the manual’s advantage is 0.3 seconds to 100 km/h, 0.1 L/100 km in city and highway driving, and 0.1 L/100 km combined.

The 2009 restyling brought the clearest numerical improvement to the gasoline range. Relative to the original versions, the 1.0 MT became 0.5 seconds quicker to 100 km/h and reduced combined consumption by 0.3 L/100 km. The 1.0 EGS became 0.9 seconds quicker and reduced combined consumption by 0.2 L/100 km. Their 157 km/h top speed did not change.

The 1.4 MT is 2.6 seconds slower to 100 km/h than an original 1.0 MT and 3.1 seconds slower than a restyled 1.0 MT. Its top speed is also 3 km/h lower. Diesel fuel-consumption figures are not measured, so the available numbers cannot support an economy comparison with the gasoline cars.

Peugeot 107 dimensions, weight and practical specifications

Exterior length, width and other dimensional measurements are not measured in the supplied data. Wheel sizes and tyre pressure are also not measured, so they cannot be used to distinguish the versions.

The 1.4 MT carries 16.5 kg per horsepower. The gasoline records span approximately 11.6–12.3 kg per horsepower, giving them a numerical power-to-weight advantage. Within comparable gasoline records, 1.0 EGS is 35 kg heavier than 1.0 MT. That extra weight accompanies the Robotic gearbox rather than any increase in power or torque.

All listed versions have a 35 L tank. The gasoline cars have 145 mm of stated ground clearance, while clearance for the 1.4 MT is not measured. Gross minus kerb weight ranges from 345 to 400 kg across the records, but the data does not define that difference as a passenger or cargo limit.

Which Peugeot 107 version should you choose?

Choose the 1.0 MT if performance, measured fuel use and power-to-weight figures matter most. It has the same 68 hp and 93 Nm as 1.0 EGS, yet it is 35 kg lighter in like-for-like records. From 2009 onward, it reaches 100 km/h in 13.7 seconds rather than 14.0 seconds and records 4.5 rather than 4.6 L/100 km combined. The 2009–2012 and 2012–2015 1.0 MT versions have identical stated performance and consumption, so the supplied figures do not establish a dynamic or economy advantage for either period.

Choose the 1.0 EGS when the 5-speed Robotic gearbox is the deciding requirement. It does not add power, torque or top speed over 1.0 MT. Its measurable trade-offs are 35 kg of extra kerb weight, slower acceleration and—on the restyled cars—slightly higher consumption.

Choose the 1.4 MT only when its diesel engine and torque output specifically suit the intended purchase. It supplies 37 Nm more torque than either gasoline version and reaches its maximum torque at 1,750 rather than 3,600 rpm. Against that, it has 14 hp less, weighs 90–100 kg more than the corresponding 1.0 MT records, and takes 16.8 seconds to reach 100 km/h. Because its consumption is not measured, the data cannot demonstrate a fuel-cost benefit.

Among the production periods, the 2009–2012 restyling offers the biggest improvement visible in the supplied performance figures: both gasoline transmissions became quicker and more economical than their 2005–2009 equivalents. The 2012–2015 restyling 2 keeps those same gasoline performance and consumption values, removes the diesel from the listed range, and adds measured Euro 5 emissions data. Price, interior equipment, reliability, engine-oil specification, coolant, exhaust condition and sale availability are not measured, so none can be used here to justify paying more for one version.
