Peugeot 301

What is the Peugeot 301?

The Peugeot 301 is a compact four-door saloon with a separate boot. Peugeot developed it for international markets, where a traditional saloon can suit family use and everyday travel. It was positioned as an accessible model in the brand’s range.

Launched in 2012, the modern 301 was a new design, distinct from the earlier Peugeot that used the same name. Its listed generation ran from 2012 to 2021.

Engines and power

In the EU, the 301 was offered with engines from 1.2 L to 1.6 L and power from 53 kW (72 PS) to 128 kW (174 PS). Fuel types included petrol, diesel and LPG.

Among the leading EU registration entries were the 1.6 L diesel with 68 kW (92 PS) in 2013–2014 and the 1.2 L petrol with 53 kW (72 PS) in 2013 and 2014.

How economical is the Peugeot 301?

The lowest listed EU consumption is 4.4 L/100 km on the WLTP test. A particular car’s result depends on its engine and version. European figures may use WLTP or the older NEDC procedure; the USA uses EPA testing and Canada uses a 5-cycle procedure, so results from different markets are not directly comparable.

Official EU registration figures cover 2012–2022 and total 43,471 registrations. The registration period extends beyond the listed generation’s end in 2021.

Where was the Peugeot 301 sold?

Peugeot developed the 301 for international markets and launched it across regions including Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Its four-door saloon body gave buyers in those markets a conventional boot and a family-sized cabin.
