Peugeot 301

The highly adaptable 301 makes it easier for you to get inside with keyless entry. While the simple cabin design might look attractive to you, and unexpectedly the two-tiered dashboard lacks innovation when compared to other Peugeots. But, it’s equipped with all the demandable features and presents you with comfortable and spacious seats. The large 7-inch diagonal capacitive touchscreen makes it easier for you to control the infotainment functions. The entertainment factor further continues with the front and rear speakers, Bluetooth, Mirror Link, and AUX connectivity features.

The elegance and character of 301 unfold in the stylish design of exteriors. The body of this sedan looks rigid and resolute, while the hood amplifies the presence with the chiseled body and Lion emblem. Below the hood, the vertical radiator grille features chrome highlighted dual lines that looks simple yet new. On the sides, the dual projector LED lights pair precisely with the face and reflect on the style of this sedan. In the rear, the claw-themed taillights are matched with the raised body style that enables a seamless flow with its design. Being available in a single variant, 301 comes with standard 15-inch alloy wheels. 

Apart from all the shortcomings of Peugeot 301, it offers superior ride quality that can not be anticipated by any other sedan in its class. The dynamic handling further adds an element of perfection and guarantees high performance in all driving conditions. But being based on the platform of 208 hatchback, that’s extended with C-pillar, the handling is a little uncomfortable, especially while driving on sharp roads. 

Peugeot 301 is a front-wheel-drive sedan and is powered by the 1.6-liter VTi petrol engine matched with the EAT6 automatic gearbox. This engine can deliver a peak power of 115 hp and torque of 150 Nm. Being a compact sedan, Peugeot 301 can accelerate from 0–100 km/hr in just 12.1 seconds and can attain a top speed of 180 km/hr. This sedan gets you a combined mileage of 6.6l/100km. However, when compared with other rivals, Peugeot 301 is neither a powerful sedan nor much fuel-efficient. 

Peugeot ensures a high level of safety with 301. Its structure is engineered smartly to outsource the impact of crash energy away from the cabin so passengers can stay safe. Also, with this sedan, you will get many active and passive features that ensure peace of mind. In terms of passive safety features, it comes with four airbags, Isofix fasteners, three-point seatbelts for rear passengers. While active safety features include, Electronic Stability Program, Antilock Braking System, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Emergency Brake Assist, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, 

Competition is tough for this sedan as it’s priced nearly Hyundai’s Elantra. But when it comes to the exterior design and cabin space, 301 lacks the zeal to make it through. However, being available in only a single variant, it comes with more standard features than Elantra. As a matter of fact, this sedan might look old school but it offers lots of car for the cash. So, if you are ready to compromise with the design element of Peugeot 301, then this feature-packed sedan is a perfect fit for your family.
