Peugeot 405.jpg

Peugeot 405/Peugeot Roa. 1987 to date (prod. unknown). 4-door saloon, 5-door estate. F/F, F/A, 1360, 1587, 1761, 1905, 1998 cm³ petrol, 1769, 1905, 1997 cm³ diesel (4 cyl. OHC), 1761, 1905, 1998 cm³ (4 cyl. DOHC). Hugely important mid-sized Peugeot, riding on a modified Citroën BX platform, 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. Western European production ended 1997; continued in Iran under IKCO with both OHC and DOHC versions of 1·8-litre engine, including CNG variant, and diesel models under the Peugeot Roa nameplate.
