The restyled first-generation Peugeot 301 is a compact sedan built around space and simplicity, offering a roomy cabin, a generous boot and straightforward gasoline powertrains suited to everyday driving.
Every Peugeot 301 engine here is gasoline and drives the front wheels. The 1.2 Puretech with a manual gearbox is the economical choice for city use, while the 1.6 VTi comes with either a manual or an automatic transmission if you prefer relaxed driving in traffic.
Peugeot 301 trim levels sit on top of the technical version, so the same 1.6 VTi with automatic transmission can appear in the Active configuration. Equipment typically covers climate control, audio and safety features, and it is worth checking each individual car, since specifications varied by market.
