During 2013, more than 50 new car models appeared in Russia. One of the most anticipated new products is Peugeot 301. This model was originally positioned as available to a wide range of consumers with a cost of about 450 thousand rubles. Peugeot 301 is produced only with the type of “sedan” body. The trunk of the model is roomy (506 liters). The car as a whole looks stylish and expensive, despite its low price. The design of Peugeot 301 Developers paid special attention to the convenience of consumers, which is why the car turned out to be comfortable and ergonomic. The only serious drawback in the design is an inconvenient location of the buttons control buttons of the rear windows – to use them, passengers have to stretch ahead. And another feature of Peugeot 301 – a large round regulator on the radio serves only to configure the radio and does not control the volume of sound at all, which is somewhat discouraged by unhappy motorists. However, such a feature is inherent in most French cars. Comparison of Peugeot with others:
Peugeot 301, compared with its predecessors, slightly grew up in the literal sense of the word – the clearance of the car is in the range from 13.8 to 14.2 cm. This is done specifically for countries with roads of not the best quality, for example for Russia. Also, in the Russian version of the car, a special crankcase protection is provided, made of steel. As for the running characteristics, most likely, fans of fast driving will be disappointed: Peugeot 301 is greatly introduced in corners, and the steering wheel turned out to be stupid enough – it will be necessary to steal the steering wheel on the bends. However, there is an undeniable advantage of this car: it has excellent traction at low speeds, which makes the ride on it more pleasant. In addition, this model is produced in the options with a manual gearbox and with a 4-speed automatic. If we talk about the latter, then the car with it has a “nonsense” character – it does not immediately react to pressing the gas pedal. It is worth noting that a modification with a diesel engine is much more “frisky” than with a gasoline engine – the car accelerates much faster than usual. The main competitors of the Peugeot 301 are cars such as Hyundai Solaris (cost – from 445 thousand), Kia Rio (479 thousand), Volkswagen Polo Sedan (448 thousand), Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Cobalt (444 thousand).
