The Peugeot 301 is a compact car, produced by the French automaker Peugeot. It was announced to the public in May 2012, with an official launch that took place at the Paris Motor Show in September. The 301 is built at Peugeot’s Vigo plant in Spain, alongside its twin Citroën C-Elysée, and has been manufactured in China since November 2013, and Nigeria since 2014.[3]

Sales of the 301 commenced in November 2012, initially in Turkey, and later in other markets in Western Asia, (Taiwan Since 2016[4]), Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. Designed specifically for emerging markets,[5] the 301 is not available in principal Western European markets, such as France[6] and the United Kingdom (similar situation in Ireland, as well as most RHD markets).[7]

Name

The model's 301 name was first used on a 1932 Peugeot 301, and the new 301 is the first Peugeot to start the revised naming strategy of using x01 and x08 to denote emerging market models and traditional market models.[9]

A similar model to the 301, badged as a Citroën C-Elysée, was also launched at the Paris Motor Show in 2012.

2017 facelift

In 2017, Peugeot 301 received a facelift along side its twin sister C-Elysée, the new face includes a modification of the head lamps, a new grille on which displays the Peugeot logo instead of the bonnet, and led head lights.
