PAN: Peugeot 301 Midlife Series set to hit auto market
The management of PAN Nigeria Limited, led by Ibrahim Boyi; will soon rool outits latest generation design of the Peugeot 301 luxury Sedan, called Peugeot 301 Midlife.
It would be recalled that the current model won the Nigeria Auto Journalists’ Association’s (NAJA’s) Car-Of-The-Year (COTY) Award in the country in 2016.While arrangements are on-going for the formal inauguration of the successor model to the outgoing Peugeot 301, the looks of the incoming model reinforce its qualities with new assets.
The new wonder-on-wheels has intersting features, as, for example,the body is dressed in the latest stylistic codes of the brand, laced with striking vertical grille, body-set spotlights just as neat adjustments embody the sturdiness of the car.
On a very close look, the luminous signatures, incorporating LEDs at the front, are the expression of the technological content. This Peugeot 301 offers considerable skill and trunk volume, dynamic behaviour and a design adapted to local requirements.
Also, at its front, is a powerful front face with a wide vertical grille (‘Hot Chrome’ on Allure level or with ‘Chrome Pack’ in Active) surrounding the lion that epitomises the brand’s traditional logo.
An even more feline look, with refined lights incorporating the “tooth” going up largely is found the optical block. These headlamps, with black and chromed masks and LED daytime running lights integrated into the bumper, contribute fully to the modernity and identity of the new 301.
The horizontal hood contributes to the feeling of robustness that emerges from the car. That also results in a retracted positioning of the bumper of the new grille for better resistance to small shocks. Laterally, any curious observer would easily notice a “horizontal” hood and new rims for more dynamism
Furthermore, the new 16 wheels highlight the dynamism of the car. The ‘Albury’ style steel rim offers a 16″ economical offer with a rewarding style. The Perth diamond rim brings a lot of dynamism to the profile of the car and participates in the sense of upscale.
At the rear of this incoming customers delight from the stable of PAN Nigeria, one would easily notice a unique look of 3-finger lights with a resolutely technological look. These claws captivate from the first glance, and as well fires that signal of a very strong personality of the 301.
