Peugeot does not build many cars like the Peugeot 5CV with 667&nbsp, built from 1924 to 1929 the vintage years, when coachbuilders still shaped most of what was sold. Production ran to 48,265 cars.

Under the skin

Under the skin sits 667  other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. The gearbox is a 3-speed manual. The layout matters: a front engine drives the rear wheels, the classic proportion — long bonnet, cabin set back — that most people picture when they picture a sports saloon or a grand tourer. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.

In context

Where it sits in Peugeot's history is not in doubt: the Peugeot Quadrilette came before it; the Peugeot Type 190 followed it. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Tatra 13, the Rolls-Royce Silver-Ghost landaulet, the Citroën B10. Nearby in the Peugeot catalogue sit the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.

The money

MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Peugeot 5CV has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
