Peugeot 301: reviews. Peugeot 301: specifications, photos

The French always cheered our drivers, albeit with budget, but high-quality cars. So it happened with our hero - Peugeot 301, which entered the market last spring. Now we will tell you in more detail about Peugeot-301, whose reviews are the most favorable. Design, interior, technical specifications, price and equipment - all this you will find below. We will do the so-called test drive "Peugeot 301". Go!

Design of the model

The novelty is distinguished by a modern design, combining the dynamism and conservatism of older brothers by brand. The car sharply stands out aggressive front optics, a specific grille, a nice hood and sidewall relief, a sloping roof, a daring design of the front bumper, and very attractive rims. All these exterior elements will transform the Peugeot 301 into a more solid car, and even with sports features. Outwardly our "Frenchman" is quite presentable, because of what we will give due to the designers of the company for such a fresh look "Peugeot 301". Reviews of owners and car critics will only confirm this statement.

Dimensions

Dimensions also should not upset the buyer, because they are really great for a budget car: the length is 4442 mm, width - 1748 mm, height - 1466 mm. We can say that Peugeot engineers have reached the impossible, because such dimensions are much more suitable for more expensive cars, business and premium. It is worth noting that the Peugeot 301 version, which is delivered to Russia, has been specially adapted for our climate and roads. In dimensions, this was reflected in the increased clearance, which was 142 mm.

Interior

The interior decoration of the Peugeot 301 turned out to be quite good, but without any luxuries or luxurious details. This is done in order not to raise the cost of the car itself. However, the eye is pleased with calm forms and pleasantly-looking details. In principle, the designers have developed the interior of the car so that it has everything it needs, without forgetting the good ergonomics and functionality. The optional set is quite good: it offers (in the Active version) air conditioning, an on-board computer, a good audio system, front electric windows, a complete security kit. In principle, there is everything that an ordinary driver needs. As for the place, there are plenty of it in the salon. Comfort will feel both the rear and front passengers. The only thing that grieves a little is the lack of freedom to adjust the seats and steering wheel, but this is not so important. The volume of the trunk is 506 liters, which is enough for a family trip. True, a little annoying lack of noise insulation, because of which the interior gets a lot of extraneous sounds.

Specifications

In Russia, this car is offered in three versions of the power plant: a single turbodiesel and two petrol engines. The younger unit in the "Peugeot 301" - engine with a capacity of 1.2 liters, which is able to "pull" no more than 72 liters. from. Of course, the motor is rather weak, but for city trips it is quite suitable. In our country, thanks to some refinements, the engine will be able to "feed" gasoline AI-92. The maximum torque reaches 110 Nm, which allows the car to accelerate up to 160 km / h. To achieve the coveted "hundred" our hero will spend 14.2 seconds. Of course, all these figures are unlikely to be impressive, but fuel consumption will appeal to all drivers, because it is quite economical. So, in urban conditions it will be about 7 liters, on the road - 4.3 liters. It should also be mentioned that this version of the engine complies with the ecological norms of "Euro-5". The average level of CO ₂ emissions is 124 g / km.

The older engine shows much more performance, because its power is 115 liters. from. With a working volume of 1.6 liters. The maximum speed is 188 km / h with a peak torque of 150 Nm. From 0 to 100 km / h the car can be accelerated in 10.8 seconds, which makes Peugeot 301 with this version of the engine more priority in terms of dynamics. Finally, let's say a few words about fuel consumption. In the conditions of urban turmoil, the consumption is 10 liters per 100 km. On the road, this figure will drop to 5.6 liters. Well, for such a power unit is quite normal result. This version is in compliance with environmental standards, corresponds to the standard "Euro-4", because the CO ₂ emission is at 164 g / km.

Finally, the last engine is a 92-horsepower 1.6 liter engine. The peak torque is at 230 Nm, which allows the car to accelerate to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds. The maximum speed stops at around 180 km / h. In principle, it is the diesel engines that are most popular now in Europe, because in such a variation power and dynamics are combined. In addition, the diesel is also economical: in the city the car only "spares" 4.9 liters of fuel per 100 km, and on the highway it is 3.9 liters. Much less! The diesel meets the ecological standard "Euro-3", where the level of CO ₂ emissions does not exceed 112 g / km.

As for the transmission, all engines are aggregated by a 5-speed "mechanics". The 1.6-liter petrol version is also aggregated with a 4-speed "automatic", but it will cost a bit more. Here we have a car "Peugeot 301" specifications.

Suspension and controllability

Peugeot 301 is equipped with a front independent suspension, spring, which is based on the pillars of "McPherson", as well as the stabilizer of lateral stability. The suspension itself is a bit harsh, and therefore the road bumps will still be felt in the cabin, but this only applies to the worst roads. Small car holes will pass confidently and quietly. On the front wheels the manufacturer decided to install disc brakes, and on the rear - brake drums, which is quite typical for cars with engine capacity up to 1.8 liters. Quality electric power steering allows the driver to easily maneuver on the road, competently fit into the turns. The radius of the turn is 10.7 meters. In general, the test drive "Peugeot 301" will pass with ease, bringing the driver only pleasure.

For an extra charge there is the possibility of installing a cruise control. Concerning the complete sets presented at "Peugeot-301", the reviews are quite contradictory, because at the same cost competitors often have a "stuffing" richer.

Security

Safety is a priority component of our "hero", because the Peugeot 301 is a family car, and therefore must combine 3 things: practicality, comfort and safety. As for the suspension and handling, we already mentioned that they are all right. In addition, the car has an ABS brake system, and in Active and Allure complete sets - also the EBA system. Plus, there is a driver's seat belt warning light. All three complete sets are equipped by a pillow of safety for the driver, and two senior - also a pillow of safety of the passenger and lateral forward pillows of safety. For an additional fee, you can put a burglar alarm, as well as a parking assistance system. The crash tests EURO-Ncap were not conducted with the participation of Peugeot-301. You can read the safety reviews at numerous forums dedicated to the French automotive concern.

Nearest competitors

In our country today there are not so few budget models that could push the Peugeot 301 from the market. First of all, it's worth paying attention to Hyundai Solaris, which considerably outruns our hero in terms of design. The prices and complete sets of these two cars are practically identical, and therefore there is already a rivalry between the disagreeable tastes of drivers. No less "dangerous" opponent for "Peugeot 301", reviews of which are sometimes somewhat better than our "Frenchman" - this is KIA Rio. Its configuration in all versions is much richer, and in design it does not lose anything at all. Of course, the price is slightly higher, but not large. Finally, the last likely competitor will be the French "neighbor" Renault Logan, which loses in all respects, but is also offered at a much lower price. However, the final choice is yours.

The result

What do we have in the end? We have a typical representative of the budget line of cars, although not devoid of its fundamental features. Firstly, I was pleased with the design of the "Pyzhik". He is not trivial, but not pretentious. The external appearance was quite pleasant. Secondly, the interior does not trace the cheap and creaking details that we can see in Chinese cars. Everything is collected accurately and accurately. Thirdly, I was pleased with the spaciousness of the salon, which the competitors in this segment can not boast of. Finally, the technical characteristics are also quite acceptable, although they are highly differentiated.

Here, perhaps, and everything that concerns "Peugeot 301". Packages and prices of cars will please any buyer who has a half-million budget.
