Moreover, maneuvers in parking and at low speeds are facilitated even with a very low effort ratio
Guaranteed durability and efficacy in all conditions:
The modernity that dominated the design of the new Peugeot 301 is in the level of engines, and this sedan is equipped with the latest generation of engines, depending on the country in question. It can be equipped with the following engines: Petrol: 1.2 liters Portac 82 hp with a 5-speed mechanical gearbox 1.6 liters VT E 115 hp with 5-speed mechanical gearbox 1.6 liters VTE 115 hp with 6-speed automatic transmission “OAT6”
Diesel 1.6 L Blue HD E 100 HP with 5-speed mechanical gearbox 1.6 L HDE 92 HP with 5-speed mechanical gearbox
The family of 3-cylinder Portac petrol engines equips everything from the Peugeot 108 to the Peugeot 3008 SUV and the Peugeot 5008. Currently equipped with more than one million Peugeots worldwide, this family of engines has been known as the “Turbo Compressed” version of the engine of the year for two years on respectively, in 2015 and 2016.
Entirely designed by the PSA Group, the 1.2 liter Portac 82 hp engine combines driving pleasure and low fuel consumption thanks to its specified power of 50 kW/l. Compared with a 4-cylinder engine of equivalent power, the gain in mass is up to 21 kg while consumption is reduced by 25%.
It is a center of technology with Euro 6 standard. Friction losses, which represent approximately 1/5 of the power consumed by the engine, are reduced by 30%. For this, a diamond-like carbon coating has been applied to the piston hub, piston rings and thrusters. The wet belt distribution belt is also integrated with the carburetor to give a silent service. Combustion is improved by optimizing chamber aerodynamics (intake tubes and piston heads), and adapting the ignition to run with a high level of residual gas (IGR).
The cylinder is made of aluminum alloy, with 4 valves per cylinder, multi-point indirect injection, continuously variable distribution at the intake and at the exhaust (VVT). In addition, the cylinder is manufactured using PMP technology. This technique reduces the number of parts and the size of the whole. Thus, the exhaust manifold, cooling unit and engine mount are integrated into the cylinder head. The Portac engine is also equipped with an oil pump with variable cylinders that allows obtaining a constant pressure ratio and in the best conditions.
This indirect injection engine delivers a maximum power of 60 kW (82 hp) at 5750 rpm and a maximum torque of 118 Nm at 2750 rpm. Its emissions in different cycles remain constant at 110 g of carbon dioxide per kilometer
The 115 HP 1.6 VTE is a 4-cylinder petrol engine with 16 valves in light alloy. It is equipped with a Continuously Variable Timing (VVT) intake camshaft and accepts an octane rating of up to RON 91 like the Portac engine has done a great job of reducing friction. This leads to a significant profit in CO2 emissions supported by the adoption of a variable pressure oil pump
Its maximum power is 85 kW (115 hp) at 6050 rpm and the maximum torque is 150 Nm at 4000 rpm. With EURO 6 standards, this modern engine is available with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
In this case, the new automatic gearbox produced by AISIN is called EAT 6, which stands for Efficient Automatic Transmission 6. The KwikShift technology that is equipped with it provides a high level of service through easy and fast gear changes, fluid and fast. In addition, CO2 emissions are reduced by reducing internal friction and internal slippage with lockable converters. Its emissions are limited at different cycles to 148 g CO2 per kilometre, and with a 5-speed manual gearbox, it is 154 g CO2 in km and with the automatic gearbox 6 EAT6. With 6 speeds.
The 1.6L diesel engine Poll HDE 100 exclusively combines Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology with a Particulate Filter (FAP). This engine boasts driving comfort and record consumption figures.SCR technology is the most efficient post nitrogen oxide treatment on the market. In fact, they are the only ones that reduce nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. Placed at the source of the Particulate Filter Additive (FAP), this implantation is made possible by the ability of the Particulate Filter Additive to regenerate at a lower temperature compared to other particulate filters used by our competitors.
Compliant with Euro 6 standards, this engine reaches a maximum power of 73 kW (100 hp) at 3750 rpm and a maximum torque of 254 Nm achieved at 1750 rpm. With a 5-speed manual gearbox, and combined cycle emissions totaling 98 gCO2 per kilometre, the new Peugeot 301 is designed to meet the diversity of uses and destinations. Thus, the above-mentioned engines can be a substitute for other products to meet local standards.
This geographical adaptation responds to customer expectations in challenging conditions, whether off-road, or in hot, cold or wet weather. Thus, stability on the ground is adapted to deteriorating roads of all kinds. And for all tough places, the engine can even be protected from underneath. Mudguards are made of materials that provide good service at low temperatures and are fastened with fourteen bolts. Thanks to its generous dimensions, it provides a comprehensive cover and effective protection for the engine from stones.
Double insulated barrier is placed on the doors to combat dust and moisture but also against the noise generated by these two components.
To ensure long-term rigidity, many components inside or outside the cockpit are bolted. Like the dashboard that is assembled in this way and carries inside it additional stiffeners to improve rigidity.
The engine ventilation system includes a more efficient air/water separation system and is done at the front to bring in cooler air. It consists of a membrane and not a stem due to its sensitivity to water mist.
Available in what countries are called "extremely cold," heating at the base of the windshield prevents the windshield wipers from getting stuck in times of severe frost. Similarly, electric heating elements provide a faster temperature rise inside the passenger compartment.
To meet the aspirations of hot countries, the location and design of the front air vents have been specially designed to ensure a better distribution of fresh air within the cabin quickly.
The fittings have also been developed to respect the demands of durability and quality. With regard to thermal comfort, three heating/cooling levels are suggested. Manual and electronic air conditioning, depending on the car level, with air outlets for the rear seats for maximum benefit.
To meet the applications from hot countries, the air conditioning system for the 1.2 liter Portac 82 hp engine and the 1.6 liter VTE 115 hp engine is unique. The compressor, condenser and refrigeration circuit are designed to provide the best service. In the same context, the software accompanying the EAT 6 automatic gearbox was developed. In addition, a specific switch AC MAX provides maximum cooling with one touch on the electronic refrigerant. In cold countries, electric heating elements ensure a rapid rise in the temperature inside the cabin. Heated seats and windshield complement the equipment.
The driver can control the various keys of the car from inside the cabin, the controls inside allow opening the fuel tank and the trunk. When the vehicle is equipped with the remote opening system, the tailgate opening button is located on the dashboard and is supported by a button on the remote control. The electronic structure (Full Can de type Eco 2010) also allows the doors to be closed while driving, when the car reaches a speed of 10 km / h. The new Peugeot 301 is manufactured in Vigo, Spain and has benefited from the best production standards of the PSA group.
