Developed in Britain and France as a Talbot to replace the Horizon, then rebadged as a Peugeot when the Talbot name was retired, which is why its number falls out of sequence. Built from 1985 to 1993, it was a roomy hatchback with a wraparound glass tailgate, and the 309 GTI used the 205 GTI's 1.9 litre engine.
