Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when the 206 was introduced in 1999, from superminis such as the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. Peugeot's unique strategy was to position it between the Peugeot 106 range and the 306 range.

The 206 range includes two doors: a hatchback, a coupe cabriolet, and the station wagon, which is known as the 206 SW and CC respectively. There was also an WRC homologated version of the 206, dubbed the 207 GTi which could go from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.4 seconds and a top speed of 210 km/h.
