Wide European Production Footprint
During its nine‑year run, the 309 was manufactured not just in France but also in England and Spain, giving the model a truly pan‑European production base. This multi‑country build strategy helped PSA serve a broad market with a single family‑car offering.
Limited‑Run GTI Variant
Peugeot produced just over 18,000 units of the 309 GTI between 1987 and 1993, making it a relatively rare performance version of the model. The GTI was primarily offered in markets with manual gearboxes, as the automatic option was limited.
A Value‑Focused Family Car in Peugeot’s Lineage
The 309 earned a reputation as a good‑value family car, though owners later noted that its build quality could have been a bit better. It sits between the historic Peugeot 301 and the later Peugeot 308, representing a key chapter in a lineage that spans ten generations and 90 years of automotive history.
