The 206 CC has long...

The 206 CC has long been regarded as one of the most stylish supermini CCs, and its successor is even sleeker. There are unique light clusters at the back, while the rear deck, under which the top is stowed, now slopes towards the tail for a more elegant profile.

The folding mechanism itself has been given plenty of attention, with engineers keen to ensure there are no weak-nesses which could lead to reliability problems. The driver will still have to undo clips manually inside the cabin, but the rest of the drop-top conversion happens at the touch of a button. Engines will include a 2.0-litre petrol, and 1.6 and 2.0 diesels.
