Peugeot does not build many cars like the Peugeot 605: a 4-door saloon with Petrol engine, built from 1989 to 1999 in the age of turbocharging and the first electronic engine management. Its designer of record is Pininfarina.
The background
The Peugeot 605 is an executive car produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot between 1989 and 1999, with a facelift in 1995.
The engineering
Under the skin sits Petrol engine; other versions carried different engines, listed in the specification table below. Kerb weight is 1500 kg. The gearbox is a 5-speed manual / 4-speed ZF automatic. The layout matters: the engine drives the front wheels, the packaging choice that gives a small car a big cabin. The wheelbase is 2799 mm. These are manufacturer figures carried by Wikipedia and Wikidata, not road-test measurements.
Where it sits
Where it sits in Peugeot's history is not in doubt: the Peugeot 604 / Talbot Tagora came before it; the Peugeot 607 followed it; it was built at Sochaux. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Subaru Legacy, the Lexus LS, the Mazda MX-5. Its Peugeot stablemates include the Peugeot Onyx and the Peugeot Pars.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Peugeot 605 — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
