Which Peugeot 206 version should you choose?

For the quickest measured performance, the 2.0 MT — 135 hp is the strongest choice in this dataset: it reaches 100 km/h in 9.3 seconds and has a 210 km/h maximum speed. The 2.0 MT — 136 hp is 0.6 seconds slower to 100 km/h and 2 km/h slower at maximum speed, while its measured combined consumption is 0.1 l/100 km lower.

For the lowest measured combined fuel consumption, choose the 1.4 MT — 75 hp at 6.4 l/100 km. It uses 0.1 l/100 km less than the 1.1 MT — 60 hp and the 1.4 MT — 90 hp. Compared with the 1.1 MT — 60 hp, it also has 15 hp more and reaches 100 km/h 3.1 seconds sooner.

For maximum torque, the 1.6 MT — 109 hp Diesel stands apart with 260 Nm at 1,750 rpm. That is 70 Nm more than either displayed 2.0 MT version, while its 10.5-second 0–100 km/h time sits between their measured results and those of the Gasoline 1.6 MT versions.

For an Automatic gearbox with complete measured performance and consumption figures, the two 1.6 AT versions provide the clearest comparison. The 2000–2007 1.6 AT — 109 hp Gasoline, 5,800 rpm reaches 100 km/h in 12.5 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds quicker than the 1998–2006 1.6 AT — 109 hp Gasoline, 5,750 rpm. Its 188 km/h top speed is 2 km/h lower, and its 7.7 l/100 km combined consumption is 0.2 l/100 km higher. Price, sale listings, reliability, and problems are not measured in the supplied data, so they cannot be used to rank these versions.
