The 405 was sold as a 4 door sedan or a wagon, with front wheel drive standard and 4 wheeld drive optional. It was also sold in both right and left hand drive, which allowed it to be sold in a variety of markets.
These cars were designed by Pininfarina, the same firm that has designed some of the more famous cars from Lamborghini and Ferrari, among others.
With an I4 engine, this car was one of the only Peugeots sold in the United States. It would also be the last, as the American car buying public decided they didn't want French cars from a company whose name they could not pronounce.
There are many different trims of the Peugeot 405 for many different markets.
They include the GE, GL, GR, GLX, SR, SRi, GRi, GTX, Mi16, and T16. The T16 was the top performance model, and only about 1,000 of them were made for the public.
These Peugeot 405's are not very common, but you can still find them in the United States if you know where to look. The easiest place to find a 405 or 405 parts is with eBay. |
