Designed by Pininfarina as a small family car the 306 range launched in 1993 replaced the Peugeot 309.
Mechanically, the 306 is virtually identical to the Citroën ZX, which was launched two years earlier, with both cars sharing the same floorpan and core structure. The 306 was released as a 3- and 5-door hatchback, with saloon, cabriolet and estate models being introduced later. The estate version was branded as the sw, for "station wagon".
The 306 underwent two major revamps the first in May 1997, with the launch of the "Phase 2" version. 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 Peugeot 406. Indicator lamps were now incorporated into the headlamp unit and the new style block filled Peugeot Lion badge was adopted.
1999 saw the arrival of the Phase 3 with 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, removal of rubber seal to rear windscreen, a redesigned tailgate rear badge, different rear wiper and new paint colours and minor interior upgrades.
Most models were replaced by the new 307 in 2001 but Cabriolet and estate versions continued until 2002.
