The Peugeot 605 was the French marque’s flagship executive sedan of the 1990s, built to deliver long-distance comfort, confident touring manners and understated European style. Sharing engineering DNA with the Citroen XM, the 605 offered a refined front-wheel-drive platform, spacious cabin, plush seating and a supple ride that made it well suited to Australian highway cruising. Engine choices included smooth four-cylinder petrol units, turbo-diesel options and the respected PRV V6, giving owners a blend of economy, torque and relaxed performance. Its clean Pininfarina-influenced styling has aged gracefully, making the 605 an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate subtle luxury over flash.

One interesting piece of trivia is that the 605 arrived at a difficult time for Peugeot: early electrical and build-quality issues affected its reputation, despite the car later becoming much improved. Today, well-kept examples are admired as underrated modern classics, especially by fans of French motoring individuality. At Automotive Superstore, we understand that maintaining a Peugeot 605 can require quality components and careful parts selection.
