The PF3 Platform was engineered by specialists at PSA Peugeot Citroën specifically for medium and large cars featuring front wheel drive and a transverse engine layout.
Introduced with the 2001 Citroën C5, the PF3 platform functioned as PSA's worldwide mid-size base for a variety of Citroën and Peugeot vehicles.
In 2013, PSA began transitioning from the PF3 to the updated EMP2 platform for upcoming models, starting with the Peugeot 308, except in collaborative ventures with partner Dongfeng aimed at the Chinese market. The PF3 platform was completely retired in 2023 after production of the second-generation Citroën C6 ceased.
