The 1007 is the production version of the Sésame concept, which was presented at the 2002 Paris Motor Show.

Euro NCAP awarded the vehicle its second best ever rating for adult occupant safety.

The 1007 was dropped from Peugeot's model line up in the United Kingdom in 2008, although the car was still in production in mainland Europe until the end of 2009.

Although the concept car received good reception from the public, once in production, the 1007 was regarded as one of Peugeot's largest sales failures.

[24][25][26] Overall, due to poor sales, Peugeot lost an estimated €15,380 per vehicle produced.
