Peugeot 106 engines
Content
Peugeot 106 is a car produced by the famous French concern Peugeot. The release of the vehicle was carried out from 1991 to 2003. During this time, the company managed to produce several generations of this model, after which it moved on to the development and launch of new cars. It is worth noting that the 106 was originally sold as a 3-door hatchback.
History of creation
Peugeot 106 is considered to be practically the smallest model of the French company. As already noted, the car first appeared on the market in 1991 and at first was a 3-door hatchback. However, the following year, a 5-door version appeared.
The car belongs to the "B" class. It is equipped with a manual gearbox and a transversely mounted engine.
Among the advantages of this model are:
- reliability;
- economy;
- comfort.
Car lovers liked the car precisely because of these parameters.
Also, among the advantages of the model, you can notice its compact size, thanks to which it is possible to successfully maneuver with a heavy flow of cars in an urban environment. In addition, a small car is easier to park than a large car.
During the entire production period, the car was equipped with various engines, which will be discussed later.
As for the interior of the vehicle, it was simple and concise. At the same time, it should be noted that the car did not have such popular elements today as:
- glove box cover;
- cigarette lighter;
- power windows.
In 1996, the appearance of the model was slightly changed, and additional power units were added under the hood, improving the power of the vehicle and its performance. The new interior turned out to be quite ergonomic, which motorists also noticed after the vehicle was released.
Since 1999, demand for the Peugeot 106 has fallen sharply, which is why the company came to the conclusion that the release of the model should be stopped. The reason for the drop in demand was associated with the entry into the automotive market of a huge number of competitors, as well as the development of a new model of Peugeot - 206.
