PEUGEOT307 Break 2002 - 2005

　　Peugeot expanded the 307 lineup with the SW model in 2002, continuing a long line of station wagons in the French's carmaker history.

　　Since most European brands had a compact station wagon in their offer, Peugeot had to do something slightly different to prove its experience in that segment. First of all, the carmaker named its wagon SW, which was also used as Sport-Wagon, and offered it with a panoramic glass-roof to enhance the onboard experience.

　　The 307 featured the French carmaker's new design language, which showed feline-inspired shape for the headlights. While it couldn't fit a lion nose in the grille, it made it with one horizontal slat and stuck the company badge in the middle. In the apron, the carmaker installed a smiling-shaped grille and a black lip at the bottom. On its sides, the car looked similar to its hatchback version up to the roof, which was available with a set of roof rails. The rear doors featured a straight-up frame for the window. In the back, the vertical tailgate was extended downward and cut a big chunk of the bumper, thus allowing a lower load area.

　　Inside, the carmaker installed comfortable seats at the front and a 60/40 split-folding bench in the back. With all seats in place, the 307 SW offered 504 liters (17.8 cu-ft), while with the bench folded, it provided up to 1539 liters (54.3 cu-ft). Thanks to the tall greenhouse and straight roofline, the rear passengers had more headroom in the SW than in the regular hatchback version.

　　Under the hood, Peugeot offered a wide choice of gasoline and turbo-diesel engines. Most versions were paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, and, for selected engines, a four-speed automatic was on the options list.
