The Peugeot 405, produced from 1987 to 1998, was a successful mid-size car that solidified Peugeot's position as a respected European manufacturer. This model marked a significant shift for Peugeot, moving away from the boxy designs of its predecessors towards a more modern and aerodynamic aesthetic. The 405 employed a front-wheel drive layout with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the acclaimed 1.9-liter naturally aspirated diesel. Notably, the 405 was the first Peugeot to offer a 16-valve engine, initially available with the 1.9-liter petrol unit and later with the 2.0-liter petrol engine, enhancing performance and adding a sportier dimension to the model's character. The 405's interior design focused on comfort and practicality, offering spacious accommodations for five passengers and ample cargo space. The car's suspension, a well-balanced blend of comfort and handling, contributed to its enduring popularity, particularly the Mi16 variant with its stiffer suspension and powerful engine.

The 1992-1997 period saw the 405 undergo a mid-cycle facelift, introducing a new front grille and revised bumper design, reflecting the evolving automotive design trends. This facelift further refreshed the 405's appearance while maintaining its core characteristics. The 405's popularity extended beyond Europe, with strong sales in markets like the UK, Australia, and South Africa. It also achieved considerable success in motorsport, particularly in the World Touring Car Championship, where it secured victories and championships. The 405's success was attributed to a combination of factors, including its blend of practicality, comfort, and performance, coupled with a robust build quality and a competitive price point. The 405's legacy lives on, with its influence evident in subsequent Peugeot models, establishing the foundation for the company's continued success in the European and global automotive market.
