Special version

After the start of production about the "Peugeot 307 SW" reviews began to appear very interesting. The overwhelming majority of owners assured that the car turned out excellent - functional, reliable, "obedient". Perhaps this is what inspired the producers to create a separate modification, called Break. It's a station wagon, and it's very similar to the SW. In fact, he is his follower. SW became the basis for the creation of Break.

So, this version can only have a five-seater salon. Even for an additional fee it will not be possible to equip the machine with a transparent top and an electric curtain. From which it follows that 307 SW is the same Break. Only he has a much richer package with a transparent top (this is necessary in all versions), and with additional seats of the third row (but this is on demand). That is, the "Peugeot 307 SW" specifications will be better than his follower. But the car Break, oddly enough, in demand.
