Most modern cars come with electronic Engine Immobilizer systems that employ changing or rolling security codes. The intelligent system will change the second code every time the key is used and insert it into key's chip. The first code remains in place and every time the key is inserted into the ignition, the immobilizer analyzes the two codes to determine if they are compatible.

Peugeot had to contend with stiff competition when the 206 was launched in 1999, coming from superminis like the Ford Fiesta or Volkswagen Polo. The unique approach of Peugeot's 206 was that it did not directly replace the 205, rather it was designed to sit between the smaller Peugeot 106 and the larger range of 306. The lower models of both the Peugeot 306 and 106 were created to take the sales of the higher-end 205s.

The 206 range comprises a hatchback, a 2-door coupe cabriolet, and the station wagon, which is known as the 206 CC and 206 SW respectively. The 207 GTi was a WRC-homologated version of 206 that could go from 100 km/h to 0 in just 7.4 seconds and attain the speed of 210 km/h.
