Because of the way cars are taxed in Europe.

Some are a price per 100cc (like in Germany)
France had a tax calculated based on horsepower.

1.0 was designed purely for driving in the city and at slow speeds.

Also, Brazil is a huge market for Peugeot, cars over 1.0 in Brazil pay a hefty tax.

Same goes for greece etc.
