The Peugeot 309, a compact hatchback produced by the French automaker Peugeot from 1985 to 1993, marked a significant step forward for the brand in the European market. Replacing the aging 205, the 309 offered a more spacious and modern design, appealing to a broader audience. It was available in a range of body styles, including three-door and five-door hatchbacks, a three-door coupe, and a five-door estate. The 309's technical innovations included the use of a transverse front-wheel drive layout, a MacPherson strut front suspension, and a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, providing a comfortable and responsive driving experience. It was powered by a selection of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the economical 1.1-liter to the more powerful 1.9-liter, catering to diverse needs and budgets.

The 309's success was built upon its practicality, affordability, and reliable performance. It offered a spacious cabin with comfortable seating for five, ample cargo space, and a range of features designed for everyday usability. The car's reputation for fuel efficiency and low running costs further contributed to its popularity. The 309 was particularly lauded for its handling and ride quality, offering a balance between comfort and agility. Although not as sporty as its predecessor, the 205 GTI, the 309 found its niche as a reliable and versatile family car, contributing to Peugeot's growth in the European market. The 309 was ultimately replaced by the larger and more modern Peugeot 306 in 1993, but it left a lasting legacy as a well-regarded and successful model in the compact hatchback segment.
