Peugeot introduced the 306 lineup in 1993, and in May 1997, it refreshed the lineup, updating the design and the drivetrain for the compact-sized vehicle.
The sedan version came on the market in 1994 as an addition aimed at those who didn't want to mix the cabin with the luggage compartment. And, just like the rest of the 306 range, it got updated in 1997 for the so-called Phase 2 of the car, or facelift, as we know it.
Even though it was a mundane vehicle, it didn't have to look like that. So Peugeot added more styling to the car's front fascia. Thus, the new headlights featured clear turn signals and rounded edges in a more organic shape. It was still the bio-design era. Under the one-slatted grille, the automaker placed the reworked bumper that sported a smiley lower grille that complemented the cooling area for the engine. From its profile, depending on the trim level, the sedan received body-colored door mirrors and handles. At the back, Peugeot offered an option for a rear windscreen wiper, which was unusual for a sedan. Finally, on the rear fascia, the carmaker installed smoked taillights instead of the clear ones previously used.
There were fewer hard edges and angular shapes in the car's interior. In addition, Peugeot installed the HVAC controls and a new sound system on the center stack. But the seats were the same as on its predecessor and, obviously, no leather seats were available.
Under the hood, Peugeot installed a wide choice of engines, ranging from 69 hp to 112 hp. An automatic transmission was available for the 1.8-liter, 8-valve powerplant but not for the 16-valve version.
