Peugeot
Among the 334 Peugeot entries in the MotorJury library, the Peugeot 307 holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2001. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Peugeot 307 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2000s were the decade of electronics — stability control, dual-clutch gearboxes and the first serious hybrids arrived while platform-sharing consolidated the industry into a handful of giants. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Honda Honda Fit, the Honda Honda Accord, the Hyundai Hyundai Santa Fe — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Peugeot 307 reads like this: the record lists its engine as ubl | Petrol: | 1.4 L TU3 8v I4 | 1.4 L ET3 16v I4 / | 1.6 L TU5 16v I4 | 2.0 L EW10 16v I4 | Diesel: | 1.4 L DV4 HDi 8v I4 | 1.6 L DV6 HDi 16v I4 / |; drive goes through 5/6-speed manual / 4-speed ZF 4HP20 automatic / 6-speed Aisin Aramox AF40/Aisin TF80SC automatic; the layout is Front-engine, front-wheel-drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear. Production is recorded at 3,783,529 units, which makes it one of the industry's true mass-production stories.
Within Peugeot's own catalogue the Peugeot 307 sits alongside the Peugeot Onyx, the Peugeot Pars, the DS 5, the GT by Citroen (2005). The record names the Peugeot 306 as its predecessor and the Peugeot 308 (hatchback, wagon, coupé cabriolet) / Peugeot 408 (saloon) as its successor, fixing its place in the model line's chronology. Design is credited to Murat Günak. Assembly is recorded at France: Mulhouse (PSA Mulhouse Plant / Mulhouse Plant) / France: Sochaux (PSA Sochaux Plant / Sochaux Plant) / China: Wuhan (Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile / DPCA) / Argentina.
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Peugeot 307 was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
