Peugeot is a family business that preceded the current Peugeot company and founded in 1810, and manufactured coffee mills and bicycles.

Peugeot  is a French automotive manufacturer, part of Stellantis. Armand PEUGEOT, grandson of Jean-Pierre, who was fascinated by anything mechanical, led the company in its quest to produce its first motorised vehicle. In 1889, as a result of a collaboration with steam specialist Léon Serpollet, he succeeded. The vehicle was the Serpollet-PEUGEOT – a steam-powered three-wheeler.

404

The Peugeot 404 is a mid-range model that the French manufacturer produced almost three million times between the 1960s and 1975. The 404 is available as a sedan, station wagon, convertible, coupe and even as a pick-up. The car is now considered a fairly popular classic, with fewer and fewer of them on the road. However, if you have a good one, you can still enjoy it. And the fact that it is available in so many different versions means that there is always something to choose from, despite the fact that this car really belongs to the 'oldies'.

cabriolet  1962-1975

The Peugeot 404 cabriolet/convertible made its first appearance at the Paris Motor Show in October 1961 and the accompanying coupé version was launched six months later. The convertible and coupé bodyshells were made by the Pinin Farina workshops in Turin and only the floorpan and mechanical elements were shared with the saloon. These models were initially powered by the same single carburetter engine as the saloon and the option of a fuel injected engine (XCKF1) with a Kugelfischer injection system was added to the range at the Geneva Motor Show in March 1962. The US$3899 price in 1965 put the convertible in the same price bracket as the Jaguar E-Type in the American market.

coupé  1963-1975

The Peugeot 404 is a large family car produced by French automobile manufacturer Peugeot from 1960 to 1975. A truck body style variant was marketed until 1988. Styled by Pininfarina, the 404 was offered initially as a saloon, estate, and pickup. A convertible was added in 1962, and a coupé in 1963. The 404 was fitted with a 1.6 litre petrol engine, with either a Solex carburetor or Kugelfischer mechanical fuel injection or a 1.9 litre diesel engine available as options. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show as an option was the inclusion of a 3-speed ZF automatic transmission, similar to the unit already offered on certain BMW models, as an alternative to the standard column-mounted manual unit.

Popular as a taxicab, the 404 enjoyed a reputation for durability and value. The 404 was manufactured under licence in various African countries until 1991 (in Kenya) and was manufactured in Argentina by Safrar/Sevel in El Palomar, in Québec, Canada at the St-Bruno-de-Montarville SoMA Ltd. plant (1965-1969), and in Chile by Automotores Franco Chilena S.A. in Los Andes. Peugeot's French production run of 1.847.568 404s ended in 1975. A total of 2.885.374 units had been produced worldwide at the end of production.

504

The Peugeot 504 is a mid-size, front-engine, rear wheel drive automobile manufactured and marketed by Peugeot from 1968-1983 over a single generation, primarily in four-door sedan and wagon configurations – but also as twin two-door coupé and convertible configurations as well as pickup truck variants.

sedan  1968-1983

Marketed as Peugeot's flagship saloon car, the 504 made its public debut on 12 September 1968 at the Paris Salon. The sedan/berline was styled by Aldo Brovarone of Pininfarina

The 504 was a sunroof-equipped four-door saloon, introduced with a carbureted 1,796 cc four-cylinder petrol engine 82 PS DIN with 97 PS on tap with the optional fuel injection. At the time of introduction, Peugeot still used the SAE rating, with claimed power numbers of 87 and 103 cv respectively. 

A column-mounted four-speed manual transmission was standard; a three-speed ZF 3HP12 automatic became available with the carburetted engine beginning in February 1969. In September 1969 the automatic's shifter location was moved from the steering column to the floor.

The 504 was elected European Car of the Year in 1969, praised for its styling, quality, chassis, ride, visibility, strong engine and refinement. 

Peugeot 504 production in Europe was pruned back in 1979 with the launch of the Peugeot 505, although the 504 Pickup was introduced as a replacement for the 404 Pickup for the 1980 model year. The last European-made example rolled off the production line in 1983, although the pick up version continued in production, and was available in Europe until 1993. More than three million 504 passenger cars were produced in Europe. The 505 shared most of the Peugeot 504 mechanical parts, similarly to the Peugeot 604 and Talbot Tagora.

Manufacturing continued in Kenya until 2004, and Nigeria until 2006, using the Peugeot knock down kits, which meant that versions of the 504 had been in production in various parts of the world for a total of 38 years.

break 1970-1983

In September 1970 an estate ("Break") was presented, featuring a higher rear roof, lengthened wheelbase, and solid rear axle with four coil springs. It was joined by the 7-seat "Familiale", which had all its occupants facing forward in three rows of seats. The Break/Familiale/Commerciale did not actually go on sale until April the following year. The Break and Familiale both received the 2-liter petrol engine or 2.1 diesel as per the saloon, but the utilitarian "Commerciale" brought back the 1.8-litre four, now tuned down to 73 PS.

650.000 Breaks have been built.

coupe & convertible  1969-1983

Both versions are presented in March 1969  .At the beginning of August 1983, the manufacture of the 504 Coupé and Cabriolet ended at its designer Pininfarina, in Italy.The design is the work of Italian coachbuilder Pininfarina . Contrary to the constraints set for the 403 cabriolet, Pininfarina was able to resolutely move away from the sedan lines by basing the two versions, coupé and cabriolet, on a new platform that resumed that of the sedan but with a wheelbase from 2.74 m .

The Coupé version  The grille of the first series has four rectangular lights. The Cabriolet version differs only in the roof, which is replaced by a black canvas hood.

In September 1974, the 504 Coupé and Cabriolet benefited from a slight restyage at the front lights (a single optics grouping the two rectangular lights) and rear (also grouped under a single elongated element). The upholstery is also modified.

The 504 Coupé and Cabriolet are only available, when launched, with a single engine, the Peugeot 1.8 liter with Kugelfischer mechanical injection (pump KF6, PL 004.104.03), developing a power of 97 hp DIN (103 SAE). As for all coupes / cabriolets of the brand, derived from sedans, 203, 403, 404 and 204, Peugeot decides to reuse the same engine as that of the sedan (in this case the XM-KF 6). The transmission is provided by a manual 4-speed gearbox and the lever is on the floor.

At the end of the year 1970, the XM-KF5 engine (1.8 l) was replaced by a 2.0-liter engine (the XN) still with mechanical injection developing 104 hp, which is also mounted on the sedan. A 3-speed automatic transmission is available as an option; but in 1973, this option is only available on the Coupe version.

In September 1974, the 504 Coupé and Cabriolet adopted the 2.664cc V6 PRV engine with carburettors, developing 136 hp. The 2-liter engine disappears. The automatic transmission remains an option reserved for the only Coupé.

Sales decline because a large part of the clientele does not accept the cost of purchase and above all the operation of the V6 PRV with prohibitive consumption. As a result, in 1978, the manufacturer comes back on its choices and proposes again a version equipped with the engine 2 liters injection of 106 hp. Peugeot took the opportunity to finally endow the V6 version of the injection to significantly reduce consumption while raising the power to 144 hp with a 5-speed mechanical gearbox. Versions equipped with the 2-liter engine can always only have a 4-speed gearbox. In 1980, Peugeot brings a very slight cosmetic touch of the grille with a more enveloping bumper. Mechanical side, the old 4-speed gearbox is finally abandoned and replaced by the box 5 in all versions 2 liters. In 1981, the V6 Coupe has new alloy wheels.

The coupé and cabriolet versions of the 504 were produced, with the exception of the transmission and suspension, in the Pininfarina factory in Turin . From there, the semi-finished vehicles were transported by train to Sochaux for final assembly, where the engine, transmission and suspension were assembled.

304

The Peugeot 304 is a small family car which was produced from 1969 to 1980. The 304 was a success for Peugeot and was noted for several advanced features under its Pininfarina styled exterior. The car was sold until 1980 and was replaced by the Peugeot 305, which had been launched in 1977.

sedan 1969-1979

The 304 was introduced to the public at the Paris Motor Show in September 1969. Production of the saloon/sedan on the Sochaux assembly lines was discontinued during the summer of 1979, while the "Break" (estate / station wagon) was manufactured until the spring of 1980. The 304 fit into the 7CV tax category, one step above its little sister the 204 (6CV) and significantly below the 9CV 404.

Peugeot conceived the 304, noting a gap in the midsize car market in France, Italy and the rest of Western Europe, and used the smaller 204's midsection, to minimize development costs and maximize return. 

The 304 was launched with an all alloy SOHC four-cylinder 1,288 cc petrol engine (XL3), directly derived from the 1130 cc XK3 engine fitted to the earlier 204. A more powerful S version of the engine, sporting a twin choke/twin barrel carburettor (XL3S), became an option on the coupé and cabriolet in March 1972. The S engines provided a 10 hp output increase to 75 hp and also became available on the 304 saloon in the autumn of 1972.

break 1970-1980

Peugeot made the most of the 304's rugged underpinnings, spinning off saloon, coupe, cabriolet, estate and utility estate forms, and it was hugely successful - almost 1.2 million were built, and it would stay in production until 1979. 

Originally only offered as a sedan, the Break (station wagon) model appeared in September 1970.

The estate version was also exported to North Africa, where many were deployed as taxis and louages. In Egypt, as of 2009, the estate version of the 304 remains one of the most widespread types of vehicle in taxi service, though the government is hoping to persuade taxi drivers to adopt more recently manufactured, more government-imposed emissions compliant vehicles.

coupe  1970-1975

The 304 sedan was unveiled in 1969 in France, but the Coupé and Cabriolet models were only shown early the following year. These models remained in production until July 1975. Over 60 000 Coupés were built.

The 1288cc petrol engine offered 65ps while the 1.3S has a naturally-aspirated Inline 4 cylinder engine. This engine produces a maximum power of 75 PS and a maximum torque of 101 Nm. The power is transmitted to the road by the front wheel drive (FWD) with a 4 speed Manual gearbox. It only weighs 930 kg.

Behind you, once you’ve flipped forward the front seats, there is space, realistically speaking... for maybe two children. The rear seats can fold flat however, if you need a larger loading space, making it quite a practical car.

205 cti cabriolet  1984-1999

The Peugeot 205 is a supermini produced by Peugeot from 1983 to 1998.

It was declared "car of the decade" by CAR Magazine in 1990. It also won What Car?'s Car of the Year for 1984.

The styling of the 205 is often thought to be a Pininfarina design, although Gerard Welter claims it is an in-house design; Pininfarina only styled the Cabriolet. The 205 was an instant hit, and its styling was echoed in every Peugeot model that was to follow. 

The 205 was first available as a GTI in 1984 (the same year that the three-door bodystyle debuted) and was initially powered by a fuel injected 1.6 petrol engine. The 1.9 GTI was launched in 1986.

505 1986-1992

The Peugeot 505 is a large family car produced from 1979 to 1992 in  France. It was also manufactured in various other countries including Argentina (by Sevel from 1981 to 1995), China, Thailand (by Yontrakit Industrial Co.,Ltd.), Indonesia and Nigeria. The 505 was Peugeot's last rear-wheel drive car.

According to the manufacturer, 1,351,254 505s were produced between 1978 and 1999 with 1,116,868 of these being saloons/sedans.

There were a small number of petrol V6's built after 604 production had come to an end.

405 t16 1993-1997

The Peugeot 405 is a large family car manufactured by the French automaker Peugeot from 1987 to 1997. Its production continued under license from outside Europe in Iran by Iran Khodro Company until 2020. It was voted European Car of the Year for 1988 by the largest number of votes in the history of the contest.[4] About 2.5 million vehicles have been sold worldwide, both in left and right drive versions, as a saloon and estate. In early 2020, the 33-year production run of the Peugeot 405 was counted as the twentieth most long-lived single generation car in history."

The 405 has been available as a saloon and estate, in front-wheel and four-wheel drive. No coupé model was ever offered, unlike the 504 and later 406: only two examples of the purpose-built, two-door 405 Turbo 16 (not to be confused with 405 T16) were made.

In April 1993, the T16 was introduced to celebrate the successes of the competition model, with a 2.0 litre 16 valve turbocharged XU10J4TE engine with water cooled chargecooler, constant four wheel drive with 53/47% power distribution and self regulating hydraulic rear axle. It was never built in a right hand drive model.

The T16 produced 200 hp at 1.1 bar (16 psi) (normal boost) or 220 hp at 1.3 bar (19 psi) (overboost) which lasts for 45 seconds. 1061 examples were built, with ten of these being delivered for use by the National Gendarmerie. 

406 coupe 1996-2004

The Peugeot 406 is a large family car that was produced  between 1995 and 2004. Available in saloon, estate and coupé bodystyles with a choice of petrol or turbodiesel engines, the 406 replaced the Peugeot 405 in Peugeot's lineup, and was itself replaced by the Peugeot 407. It used the same platform as the Citroën Xantia, though without that car's  sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension system.

The two door coupé, launched in 1996 , was both designed and manufactured by Italian design studio Pininfarina,  A total of 107,633 coupés were made.

607 1999-2008

The Peugeot 607 is an executive car introduced by the French automaker Peugeot in October 1999, as a replacement to the Peugeot 605.  It was available as a four-door sedan only.

 It used its predecessor's chassis but had an all-new, more modern exterior design. The engine range (2.2 and 3.0 petrol, and 2.2 diesel) was completely new.

In November 2009, Philippe Varin from PSA announced that the successor of the Peugeot 607 would not be called the Peugeot 608, but instead the Peugeot 508. The 508 also replaced the smaller Peugeot 407.

The Peugeot 508 is a mid-size/large family car produced by the French automaker Peugeot, and followed by the 508 SW, an estate version, in 2011.

Production of the 508 began in 2010 as an indirect replacement for the 407 and 607, for which no direct replacement was scheduled. It shares its platform and most engine options with the second generation Citroën C5: the two cars are produced alongside one another at the company's Rennes Plant, and in Wuhan, China, for sales inside China.

This second generation 508 was unveiled in March 2018. The estate version was unveiled at the 2018 Paris Motor Show. The design is inspired by the Instinct shooting brake concept, shown at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. It won the "Most Beautiful Car of The Year 2018" award at the International Automobile Festival, where the Peugeot e-Legend also won "The Most Beautiful Concept Car of The Year".

In terms of powertrain options, the new 508 will have petrol engine options, both 1.6 litre PureTech turbocharged engines, with different power outputs; and three turbodiesel options. The automatic transmission has been updated to an eight speed Aisin EAT8 unit, replacing the older EAT6 units. A plug-in hybrid version was revealed in September 2019.

The 508 PSA EMP2 platform is related to the Citroën C5 X, DS 9, 
DS 7 Crossback, Citroën C6 II and the Dongfeng Fengshen A9.

9x8 hypercar 2022-present

The Peugeot 9X8 is a sports prototype racing car built by French car manufacturer Peugeot for the Le Mans Hypercar category in the FIA World Endurance Championship.

Succeeding the 905 and 908, the 9X8 was designed to take full advantage of the freedoms allowed by the new regulations for the Hypercar category. The first area to benefit from the new regulations is aerodynamics. Indeed, the latter allows the vehicle to have only one adjustable aerodynamic element without specifying what it should be, thus allowing Peugeot to do without the rear spoiler.

Regarding the engine, the 9X8 is equipped with a 680 hp twin-turbo 2.6L V6 mated to a 272 hp electric motor, all assembled in a 7-speed sequential gearbox. Peugeot explains the name "9X8" for several reasons: the 9 symbolizes the brand's high-performance models, the X represents all-wheel drive and electric drive technologies, and the 8 corresponds to the brand's contemporary models.

Since 2022, the Peugeot 9X8 are using race numbers 93 and 94, in WEC and at Le Mans. 93 refers to Peugeot's podium sweep at the 1993 24 Hours of Le Mans, their second win in succession, but as #92 was already taken in 2022, #94 is used since.

On 25 March 2024 Peugeot presented an updated version of the 9X8 car with the introduction of a rear spoiler, since the previous version of 9X8 proved uncompetitive due to its dependency on ground effect, especially harmed by bumpy surfaces, like at Sebring (where WEC did not race in 2024). Peugeot also abandoned equal tyre widths, using 29cm tyres at the front and 34cm at the rear like all its competitors, instead of 31 cm tyres on both axles in the first model.
