Peugeot 206 Review, For Sale, Specs, Models & News in Australia

FROM
$2,040

Peugeot’s small car at the turn of the millennium was a breakthrough model with bold styling and curvy, asymmetrical body that was a step change from the 205 and 306 that came before.

The 206’s chasses oozed quality with athletic handling and pliant ride well-suited to rough Australian roads. A price not far above less dynamic Asian rivals helped sell a few locally.

Petrol engines ranged from a small 1.4-litre to popular 1.6 right up to the grunty 2.0-litre that featured in GTi and GTi180 flagships. Available in three and five-door, there’s also the dro-top 206CC that brings open air motoring at an affordable price.

The line-up currently starts at $2,040 for the 206 XR and ranges through to $7,260 for the range-topping 206 CC.

Wheel brace location in 206?

It's normally stowed in a pocket in the rear panel in the boot. You need it to lower the spare wheel, so it's a vital part of the tool kit you need to carry in the car. If it's not there, you could try lowering the spare wheel using another tool and check to see if it's in the spare wheel with the jack. If you need to get one try a Peugeot dealer.
