Peugeot 301 Sedan
The French automaker has
rolled the update of Peugeot 301 Sedan. The facelift includes a more upright grille,
reshaped hood, and flush-mounted headlights, all made to reflect Peugeot's
current design language. There's a more pronounced beltline as well, along with
new color options and new 16-inch wheels in two-tone finish.
Inside, the French
manufacturer has fitted a new 7-inch touchscreen to display imagery from the
reversing camera, TomTom navigation, and smartphone mirroring system.
Buyers in markets around the world will be able to
choose between four engine options. There's a 1.2-liter inline-three rated at
82 metric horsepower and a 1.6-liter four good for 115, with a 1.6-liter diesel
four available in 92- or 100-horse specs. They all come mated to a five-speed
manual transmission, with a six-speed automatic available on the larger
gasoline unit.
The introduction of the new Peugeot 301, follows hot on the heels of its similarly revised twin,
the Citroën C-Elysée. They're both manufactured at PSA's plant in Vigo, Spain,
alongside the Citroën C4 Picasso and Grand Picasso, as well as the Peugeot
Partner and Citroën Berlingo vans.
