The Peugeot 505 is a mid-size car that was produced by the French automaker Peugeot from 1979 to 1993. It was a successor to the popular Peugeot 504 and was available in a variety of body styles, including a sedan, station wagon, coupé, and pickup truck. The 505 was known for its robust construction, comfortable interior, and reliable performance. It was particularly popular in Europe, Africa, and South America, where its durability and off-road capability made it a favored choice for both private and commercial use.

The 505 featured a range of petrol and diesel engines, with power outputs ranging from 64 to 136 hp. The most popular engine was the 1.9-liter diesel, which offered excellent fuel economy and a rugged nature. The 505's design was characterized by its boxy shape, with a high beltline and large windows. It was also one of the first cars to incorporate a catalytic converter, making it a relatively clean car for its time. The Peugeot 505 remained in production for over a decade, going through several facelifts and updates. While it was later replaced by the Peugeot 405, the 505 still enjoys a loyal following among automotive enthusiasts and continues to be a common sight on roads around the world. Its blend of practicality, durability, and comfort cemented its reputation as a solid, reliable vehicle, making it a cornerstone of Peugeot's success in the 1980s and early 1990s.
