New assignment of the product number

This vehicle is the beginning of a new categorization of Peugeot models. While the first digit refers to the segment (here 3 for compact class), the last digit 1 stands for sales in the "entry-level segment". Peugeot would like to use it to conquer or hold markets in the emerging countries in particular. In Europe, the model is to be offered from November 2012 in Turkey and later in Southern and Eastern Europe, but not in Western Europe.
