Following a teaser announcement back in early March, French carmaker Peugeot has fully revealed the Hoggar, a new pint-sized pickup truck designed and developed in Brazil for the domestic market.
Borrowing a name from a two-seater buggy concept from 2003, the Hoggar pickup makes use of a hybrid platform developed from the rear end of the Partner van and the front end of the Brazilian-market 207 supermini, which itself is derived from the older Peugeot 206 and not the latest 207 hatch sold in Europe and other parts of the world.
As a result, the Hoggar pickup is the longest member of the 207 family beating the hatchback by 653 mm, the SW by 453 mm and the sedan Passion by 290 mm.
The Hoggar has a load capacity of up to 742kg or 1,636 pounds and a volume of 1,151 liters. It also features a detachable tailgate that can hold up to 300kg or 661 pounds in weight.
Peugeot's small pickup truck will be launched in Brazil on 15th May, in three equipment levels and two Flex Fuel engine options, an entry-level 1.4-liter unit developing maximum output of 82HP when running on alcohol and 80HP on petrol, and a 1.6-liter version that produces 113HP on alcohol and 110HP on gasoline.

This looks like the toy you left in the toy bin because others were more appealing. Stylistically a unisex miss. Were's Subaru when you need them?
Sweet!
Kind of un "Le Camino!"
Build it with AWD,
a strong diesel engine
and ship it to Europe...
Pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!
Great use for all those 1007 tail lights lol
Both the 206 and 207 are scarily unreliable and build quality is pretty iffy to say the least; is half a 206/7 half as unreliable and badly made again OR does it make it better made and more reliable because there's less of it? Hmmm...
This is called a 'UTE' right?
I like this design. Hopefully they bring it to France too.
It's been a long time since Peugeot have made a pick up. The 505 I last recall but the Hoggar is Blue Peter's pick up truck. Looks like Peugeot raided the parts-bin into making this. Evidence seen 207's grill, interior; the 206 doors, mirrors, bonnet scoop and the 1007 lights. Having said that, it looks alright and fair swooshy for a pick up which are usually chunky and angular.
in fact it's not a 207 but a 206+, if you take a look at the bonnet you'll see the air grille, and that's the way to recognize the 206+ !
should of just been called a hog, cause its as ugly as one. Dreadful mish mash of a design... u g l y
una cagada
