Probably the best way to explain the 309's success is to say it's a mid-range car which is
everything but a mid-range car. Without any compromises, the 309 offers maximum cabin
space for a reasonably-sized exterior, optimal balance between engine performance and
economy, clean-cut and attractive modern lines, with maximum security features. The 309 is
available in a 5-door body, and either a petrol or diesel engine.The basic GL version
includes air conditioning as standard equipment. With remarkable basic features and a
useful luggage volume that can be doubled or tripled as needed, between 398 and 1,280
litres simply by folding up one or both back seats. Front-wheel drive, independent 4-wheel
suspension (specially adjusted for driving conditions in India), anti-slant bars,
front-wheel disc brakes and floating toe-links: the 309 works well to provide Peugeot's
legendary reliability, resistance and finishings.
