Its compact hatchback proportions made navigating narrow streets and finding parking spaces less demanding, while the simple design kept the focus on useful transportation rather than unnecessary complexity. As an entry-level model, it offered an approachable alternative to larger cars, with the light, nimble character that helped small European hatchbacks remain popular for urban driving.

For 1999–2000, the Peugeot 106 1.0 used a naturally aspirated 954 cc four-cylinder petrol engine producing 49 hp and 55 lb-ft of torque.
