Peugeot 306 Sedan saloon Sedan specification was marked as SN, SL, SR, and ST. The sedan model, for many motorists provided an alternative to the domination of the car markets by hatchbacks and was hailed at the time by amongst others. The sedan model was compared by British motoring magazine as being an inferior 'Brother' to the, but this is questionable; the 306 had a more sophisticated suspension design, and the build quality was said to be better.
This model was on sale until 2002 in European markets, but it was discontinued for 1999 in the market. Performance models Peugeot created a D-Turbo 'hot hatch' version, which was essentially a petrol XS model with the diesel unit installed. The 306 was not the first mainstream affordable performance diesel, with that plaudit arguably going to the MkII VW Golf GTD of the mid-1980s. However, the 306 D-turbo was the first to be commercially successful and sell in significant numbers, and this success effectively created the market for such performance oriented diesel cars. It was a popular seller in all its various phases throughout the life of the car. Most D-Turbo cars were 3 door models, but there are a few rare examples of the 5-door D-Turbo.
The D-Turbo and XS variants were fitted as standard with front fog lights, body-coloured bumpers with deeper spoilers, sports seats and different steering wheel, and a wider, chromed exhaust tailpipe; 14-inch alloy wheels were an optional extra. The models fitted somewhere between the XR and XT variants in terms of standard equipment. The XSi 8v 2.0 Petrol had the addition of subtle side skirts. 15-inch five spoke alloy wheels were available as an option when the model was launched, and became standard shortly after.
The S16 (for 'soupape-16', or '16-valve') was a 3-door Phase 1-only model, replaced with the more powerful GTI-6 in 1996. The engines in both cars were 16-valve XU-series units with Magnetti Marelli fuel injection and produced excellent power and torque outputs for the time. As well as gaining a close-ratio 6-speed gearbox over the S16's 5-speed, the GTI-6 had more power courtesy of a reworked 167 bhp XU10J4RS engine replacing the S16's 155 bhp XU10J4 ACAV, and some subtle chassis revisions. As well as being more powerful, the GTI-6 engine had more flexible power delivery with more mid-range torque than that in the S16, and the new gearbox made it easier to use the engine more effectively. The GTI-6 was introduced as a Phase 1 model and was to last until the end of 2000.
It received Phase 2 and 3 cosmetic and electrical updates alongside the rest of the range, but the engine and mechanical specification remained largely unchanged. A UK-only model was the 306 Rallye of 1999.
Mechanically the car was identical to a GTI-6, but had a minimal specification that deleted many GTI-6 standard features including fog lights, air conditioning, sunroof, electric windows, temperature sensor. Only 500 were produced in 3 non-metallic colours including; 100 in black, 200 in Cherry Red and 200 in Bianca White. 2017 fzr yamaha waverunner service manual.
While some were fitted with Phase 3 tailgates and bonnets, the car was basically a Phase 2 in terms of the fuse box and electrical wiring loom, including the use of Phase 2 remote locking. Seat upholstery was cloth in a specific Rallye pattern. The more austere specification led to the car being lighter than a GTI-6.

(May 2010) Phase 2 (N5) Overview Production 1997–1999 Powertrain Petrol engines: 1.4L 8V 75 PS (55 kW; 74 hp) I4 1.6L 8V 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) I4 1.8L 16V 110 PS (81 kW; 110 hp) I4 2.0L 16V 136 PS (100 kW; 134 hp) I4 XSi 2.0L 16V 167 PS (123 kW; 165 hp) I4 GTi-6 Diesel engines: 1.9L 8V 71 PS (52 kW; 70 hp) I4 1.9L 8V 90 PS (66 kW; 89 hp) Turbocharged I4 The 306 underwent the only major revamp of its life in May 1997, with the launch of the 'Phase 2' version (N5 in Australia). The basic shape remained the same, but lights, grille and bumpers were redesigned in an effort to bring the styling into line with the new, more rounded, Peugeot family look established with the. Indicator lamps were now incorporated into the headlamp unit and the new style 'block filled' Peugeot lion logo was adopted. The Phase 2 also saw the addition of an estate version. 1999–2002 Peugeot 306 (N5) cabriolet, Australia A new-style typeface for the car's model number was adopted on the tailgate, removing the black plastic backing. There were also some changes to the dashboard layout, including a digital odometer, and trim quality which freshened up the car in the face of increasingly stiff competition from other manufacturers.
New engines were also offered, with both 1.8 and 2.0 petrol engines gaining 16-valve cylinder heads together with modest power increases. At this time, the previous trim designations were replaced by L, LX & GLX for the UK market. XS, XSi and GTI-6 models continued as before, but with the Phase 2 headlight, grille, bumper and other cosmetic updates alongside the rest of the range. Cars from 1998 onwards (1999 model year) received further enhancements, including an aluminium-effect centre console on certain versions and a chrome Peugeot logo on the steering wheel. Other updates included removal of the black strip on the bootlid, colour-coded bumpers on some models and new upholstery in the cabin.
New models also appeared in Phase 2 trim. Sold only in the UK, the Rallye was launched in 1998 using the mechanicals from the GTI-6, but with less standard equipment (manual windows and mirrors, no air-con, Rallye-specific cloth instead of leather and alcantara, front spot lights removed), making it 65 kg (143 lb) lighter than the GTI-6.

Sold at a discounted price of £15,995 (over £2000 less than a GTI-6), it only came in four colours - black, Cherry Red and Bianca White and one only in Dragoon Blue - and there were only 501 produced. The only drawback is the insurance costs as the Rallye is in group 16. As the production of the Rallye straddled the Phase 2 and 3 models, some Rallyes had superficial Phase 3 features such as the flush glass tailgate and slightly different bonnet, but remained fundamentally a Phase 2 model in such characteristics as the fuse box and electrical layout. The UK Rallye is different from the 2001 Australian market N5 Rallye, which was based on the 5-door XT model. In 1998 Peugeot has launched SP version - denotes sport pack, there have 3 different levels of equipment.
The Meridian model (originally a special edition) was also relaunched in 1999 and boasted a generous equipment list including new half-leather seats, and further cosmetic upgrades to the interior. Peugeot 306 sedan Models from mid-1999 saw further improvements and exterior modifications, including clear lenses on the headlamps, round and clear lensed foglamps, complete colour-coding of the exterior trim, removal of the black plastic strip on the lower edge of the tailgate, flush glass seal to rear windscreen, a redesigned tailgate rear badge, different rear wiper and new paint colours. Interior upgrades were more minor, with the gearknob becoming rounder and silver topped, while the instrument binnacle received a silver background and white instrument needles in place of the previous red versions. XSi, XT and D Turbo models all received the GTi-6's bodykit and interior styling additions but not the cyclone alloy wheels. In the diesel variants, the ageing was replaced by the newer, engine, which featured common rail injection.
Some base models made use of the normally aspirated diesel engine. Almost all models included and multiple as standard equipment.
Rain sensitive automatic windscreen wipers were also standard on all but the base spec. The end of the line Despite Peugeot's efforts, the car placed poorly in a variety of ownership and customer satisfaction surveys of the time, such as the annual survey which was run in association with the television programme. Nevertheless, the car featured in the Top 10 Best Selling Cars In Britain from 1994–1998, and only narrowly missing out on the top 10 during its final three years on sale. Sales in France and most of the rest of Europe were also strong. In Australia a run-out model was introduced in early 2001. Based on the N5 XT 5-door model, it was called the 306 Rallye. As with other XT variants, it had the same 99 kW/132 bhp engine and 5-speed gearbox as the late XSI models but different (less sporty) suspension and interior trim.
It was also available in automatic. It replaced the XT model in the lineup and was discounted by AU$2000. This model was different from the 306 Rallye sold in the UK in 1998 - 99, which was a 3-door car based on the 306 GTI-6. The hatchback 306 was discontinued in 2001 to make way for its replacement, the. The cabriolet and estate variants both remained on sale until 2002. The slow–selling saloon was axed from the market in 1999, but it was still available in the rest of Europe until 2002. Peugeot 306 Maxi The Peugeot 306 Maxi competed in of the French.
The GTI version of the car also won the endurance race in 1999 and 2000. The car took the in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and the title in 2000, 2001 and 2002.
Safety In 1998, tested the 306, and it scored three out of five stars for protection of the adult occupants. This was a competitive performance as the 1999 Ford Escort only achieved two stars, but the newly introduced 1999 and 1998 Vauxhall/ scored four stars.
In the 2006, the Peugeot 306 manufactured between 1994 and 2001 was rated 'significantly better than average' in its ability to protect its occupants in the event of a crash. This was one of the highest results achieved in the 2006 ratings. Australian Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) gave the Peugeot 306 a 4-star rating (out of 5 stars) for driver and occupant safety, and an 'excellent' rating for other road users involved in accidents. UCSRs are based on statistics collected from car crashes involving death or serious injury in Australia and New Zealand between 1990 and 2013.
Over seven million police reported crashes were analysed in the latest UCSR. Ratings reflect the relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury. Driver protection ratings indicate relative safety of vehicles in preventing severe injury to their own drivers, whilst protection for other road user ratings indicate how well the vehicle protects other road users with which they collide.
