The Peugeot 505 is a mid-size car that was produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1979 to 1993. It succeeded the Peugeot 504 and was available in a variety of body styles including a sedan, station wagon, coupe, and even a pick-up truck. The 505 was known for its spacious interior, comfortable ride, and robust construction. It was a popular choice for families and businesses alike, and its reputation for reliability helped it achieve strong sales figures across Europe, particularly in its home market of France. It was also exported to various other markets including Africa, South America, and Australia.
The 505 was powered by a range of petrol and diesel engines, with displacements ranging from 1.8 to 2.5 liters. The most popular engine was a 1.9-liter diesel, known for its fuel efficiency and durability. The car featured a MacPherson strut front suspension and a semi-trailing arm rear suspension, providing a comfortable and compliant ride. The 505 was also available with a variety of features, including air conditioning, power steering, and a sunroof. Despite its success, the 505 faced stiff competition from other mid-size cars, and production ended in 1993. The 505 was replaced by the Peugeot 405, which would go on to achieve similar success. While the 505 is no longer in production, it remains a popular choice for classic car enthusiasts, especially due to its dependability and practicality.
