The Peugeot 302 is a 4-door sedan / various cabriolets and coupés from Peugeot, built from 1936 to 1938, when streamlining and independent suspension were arriving together. Under the bonnet: 1758 cc straight-4.
How it came about
The Peugeot 302 is a mid-weight saloon introduced at the 1936 Paris Motor Show by Peugeot and listed, for just 18 months, until April 1938.
The hardware
Power comes from 1758 cc straight-4. It weighs 1110 kg. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. The wheelbase is 2880 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Family and rivals
Its family tree is legible: it took over from the Peugeot 301; its successor was the Peugeot 402 légère (light). Its contemporaries in the catalogue — the Bugatti Type 57, the Volkswagen Beetle, the Chevrolet Suburban — show what else the money bought that year. Its Peugeot stablemates include the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.
What it costs now
There is no federal ownership record for the Peugeot 302 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
