1991–1996 Peugeot 106 XN Specs & Performance

The Peugeot 106 XN represented the straightforward, economical side of Peugeot’s small-car philosophy, prioritizing compact dimensions and easy everyday driving over sporting ambition. Its tidy hatchback body made it well suited to narrow streets and limited parking, while a lightweight construction helped it feel nimble in town. As an entry-level version of the first-generation 106, the XN offered practical transport with uncomplicated mechanicals and a modest footprint, reflecting the appeal of small European hatchbacks in the early 1990s.

For 1991–1996, the Peugeot 106 XN used a naturally aspirated 1.1-liter four-cylinder petrol engine producing 59 hp and 65 lb-ft of torque. A five-speed manual transmission sent power to the front wheels, providing a simple, familiar driving setup. Its reported top speed of 103 mph was adequate for a car focused on daily mobility rather than high performance. With its compact proportions and practical hatchback layout, the XN served as an accessible option for drivers seeking uncomplicated, economical motoring.
