By GlobalDataPeugeot’s long-awaited 206 sedan derivative is the latest example of a European maker extending its model line to suit markets where buyers prefer small sedans to hatchbacks. Such markets are mostly in southern Europe, the Middle East, Central and South America and parts of Asia including China.
Among others, Renault and General Motors also sell ‘booted’ versions of their popular hatchbacks – the Clio and Corsa respectively – in these markets.
