By 1979, the 104 occupied a peculiar middle ground: too modest for the Golf's ambitions, too modern for the ageing Renault 5. The range offered a saloon and a practical estate variant, both powered by the 1,1-litre engine good for 54 horsepower. Dutch buyers found it a sensible alternative to the larger French rivals, delivering honest economy without pretence.
By 1980, the 104 carried a transversely mounted 954 cc engine producing 48 bhp, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox that gave it an edge over rivals like the Fiat 126 in daily driving. British buyers found it nimble on congested urban roads, though refinement lagged behind the Golf. The platform proved robust enough for European export, and this year's update refined the co

The Dutch market received the full range: the 954 cc base unit producing 45 hp, alongside a 1124 cc variant good for 54 hp. Against the Fiat Panda's charm and the Golf's prestige, Peugeot pitched honest engineering and low operatin
When the 104 Coupé ZS arrived in 1976, Peugeot was addressing a specific buyer: someone wanting style and practicality without the bulk of a family saloon. The transverse 1.0-litre engine produced 52 hp, feeding the front wheels through a four-speed manual. Positioned between the basic 104 and the more ambitious 305, this coupé variant captured buyers seeking a nimble, affordab
The 1979 104 S paired a transversely mounted 1.1-litre engine producing 67 horsepower with a four-speed manual gearbox—modest by contemporary standards, yet perfectly calibrated for urban congestion and tight European parking.
