The new Porte is a compact car with a wireless remote-controlled electric sliding door on the passenger side - slightly different from the two-door Peugeot, but with the same reconfigurable seating concept.
The Porte is slightly larger than the 1007 and with the option of a 1.3 or 1.5 litre motor and four-speed automatic transmission, the car is apparently only destined for the Japanese domestic market.
