2022 Peugeot 301 for Sale in Qatar
About the Peugeot 301 in Qatar
The Peugeot 301 is a compact four-door sedan positioned as one of Peugeot’s most affordable models, sitting below the 308 and 508 in the global line-up. It targets buyers who want European styling and comfort in a simple, durable package that can cope with hot climates and mixed road conditions. In Qatar, the 301 appeals mainly to budget-conscious private buyers, small families and fleet users who value low running costs, good fuel economy and a roomy cabin for its size. The design is straightforward but modern, with a focus on ease of use rather than luxury. A key attraction is its generous boot space and rear legroom, which make it practical for everyday family duties and airport runs. With only a small number of active listings at any given time on Qatar Living, it is less common than Japanese and Korean rivals, but that can make well-kept examples interesting for buyers looking for something a bit different from the usual choices.
Variants available in Qatar
In Qatar, most Peugeot 301 listings are recent models, typically from around 2017 onwards, with Qatar Living’s current active stock centred on the 2022 model year. Local market cars are generally powered by a 1.6‑litre petrol engine, usually paired with an automatic gearbox, as manual versions are rare here. Common trim patterns internationally include Access, Active and Allure, though many local cars are mid-spec with fabric seats, basic audio and manual air-conditioning, plus a few higher trims featuring alloy wheels, rear parking sensors and upgraded infotainment. Equipment levels can vary depending on whether the car was sold new through the official dealer or imported used from other GCC or Levant markets.
Spec highlights
Most Peugeot 301 models in Qatar use a 1.6‑litre four‑cylinder petrol engine producing around 115 hp and 150 Nm of torque, driving the front wheels through either a 4‑speed or later 6‑speed automatic gearbox. This setup is tuned for efficiency rather than outright performance, with fuel consumption around 6.5 L/100 km on the combined cycle in earlier versions. The compact sedan body offers a spacious interior and a boot of roughly 500 litres, which is large for this class. Depending on trim, typical features include manual or automatic air-conditioning, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, power windows, rear parking sensors, ABS with brake assist and one to four airbags.
Price range in Qatar
Historically, new Peugeot 301 prices in Qatar have started in the high QAR 40,000s to low QAR 50,000s for base trims, depending on model year and dealer offers. On the used market, older examples from the mid‑2010s can fall well below QAR 20,000, while a 2022 car with average mileage is typically advertised in the mid‑teens to low QAR 20,000s. Actual transaction prices vary with mileage, service history, condition, trim level and whether the car comes with remaining dealer warranty or extended coverage.
Alternatives buyers also consider
Buyers considering a Peugeot 301 in Qatar also look at other compact budget sedans such as the Toyota Yaris Sedan, Nissan Sunny and Hyundai Accent. Some will also cross-shop slightly larger but similarly priced options like the Kia Rio or Renault Symbol, depending on availability and offers. All of these compete on low running costs, fuel efficiency and practicality for daily commuting and light family use.
Maintenance & reliability
The Peugeot 301 has a generally solid reputation for basic mechanical reliability, with industry reports and regional ownership feedback noting few major recurring issues when the car is serviced on time. Earlier regional reviews mention mostly minor cabin squeaks and rattles rather than serious drivetrain faults. Routine running costs are usually moderate: the 1.6‑litre engine is simple, and consumables such as filters, brake pads and tyres are widely available in Qatar. As a European brand, some specific body and trim parts can be pricier than equivalent Japanese components, but independent workshops familiar with Peugeot models help keep labour costs under control. Regular servicing at the recommended intervals is important, especially in high-heat, dusty conditions.
Frequently asked questions
