Peugeot 405. 1987–1997 (France, United Kingdom), 1987–mid 2010 (Iran), 2010–present Iran (by IKCO as SLX), 1987–present (Egypt), (prod. unknown). 4-door saloon, 5-door estate.

Hugely important mid-sized Peugeot, that hit the market square-on, rivalling the Ford Sierra and Vauxhall Cavalier Mk III/Opel Vectra A. Agreeable Pininfarina-styling (and closely resembling the Alfa Romeo 164, and excellent road manners made this an appealing driver's car, although build quality lagged behind the best of the opposition. Mid-life facelift in 1993 introduced more practical boot, with lower loading lip and folding rear seat.
