Peugeot 306 CC Phase 2 1997 - 2000

The Peugeot 306 CC is an iconic French compact convertible that marked the 1990s and 2000s, embodying the French art of living with its electric retractable roofs and playful design. Launched in 1993 as a convertible variant of the 306 sedan, the Peugeot 306 CC story spans two main generations until its withdrawal in 2002, offering drivers an appealing alternative to more expensive German convertibles of its era. The first generation (1993-2002) is distinguished by its power-retractable metal roof, an innovation that positions it in an intermediate segment between small roadsters like the Fiat Barchetta and more prestigious convertibles, while the Peugeot 306 CC generations progressively evolved in 110 to 136 horsepower petrol engines, guaranteeing moderate but sufficient performance for playful driving in urban settings and on winding roads. With its rounded lines borrowed from the 306 sedan, its chunky front lights and squat rear hatch, the Peugeot 306 CC model displays endearing and timeless personality, reinforced by a practical interior and correct finishes for its category, which explains its popularity among drivers seeking accessible driving pleasure. Although discontinued for over two decades, the Peugeot 306 CC holds a nostalgic coveted place on the second-hand market, with a spec sheet characterized by controlled weight around 1100 kg and reasonable fuel consumption, major attraction for collectors and French youngtimer enthusiasts wishing to rediscover the open-top motoring of the past millennium.
