The Peugeot 206 is also being produced in Buenos Aires, Argentina since 1999. The models being manufactured are XR, XRD, XS, XT and XTD. The diesel powered versions use the aspirated DW engine.
In May 2006, the Malaysian car manufacturer Naza launched a locally assembled version of the 206 with the name of “206 Bestari”. From Jan 2006, Peugeot 206 is being produced in China. In September 2006 Citroën China showed of slightly modified Peugeot 206 called Citroën C2 (this car has nothing in common with the European Citroën C2).
Sales in the UK were strong from the start, with the 206 regularly being among the nation’s five most popular new cars during its first six years on sale.
It is still on sale in the UK as of 2007, a year after the launch of the 207.
Second-hand examples of the 206 traditionally hold their value well, due to high demand.
