Distinctive badging, exclusive wheel designs, and a carefully cur
1994 Peugeot 306 S16 Brochure
Against the tide of turbocharged Japanese rivals in 1994, the S16 offered something different: naturally aspirated aggression. Its 160 hp 1.6-litre engine and close-ratio gearbox made it feel sharper than most competitors half its price.

Peugeot's reputation for nimble city cars worked in its favour.
1995 Peugeot 306 XR & XRd Brochure
