When the 605 reached British showrooms in 1991, it arrived as Peugeot's answer to the executive saloon segment dominated by German rivals and the Rover 825. The newcomer offered a 2.0-litre four-cylinder good for 121 horsepower, a turbocharged diesel option, and a 3.0-litre V6 delivering 190 hp for buyers wanting genuine pace. Buyers found themselves choosing between traditiona
By 1994 the 605 faced stiffening competition from the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes W124, yet Peugeot's offering held its ground with the carryover 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 121 horsepower and a strengthened 2.5-litre diesel. The mid-cycle refresh brought a revised grille and updated interior trim, positioning the saloon as a pragmatic choice for fleet buyers and families w
By 1993, the 605 SL was positioned as Peugeot's answer to the Mercedes W124 and BMW 5-Series—a spacious saloon for buyers who valued French engineering over Germanic prestige. The base 2.0-litre petrol engine produced 121 horsepower, adequate for comfortable cruising on the motorway. Buyers could step up to turbocharged diesel or six-cylinder petrol, depending on market and bud
By 1993, the 605 SR relied on proven mechanics: a 2.0-litre petrol engine delivering 121 horsepower sat at the core of this configuration, while diesel buyers could opt for the 2.1-litre unit rated at 95 hp. The transverse layout and MacPherson front suspension were carry-overs, but Peugeot had refined the soundproofing and interior ergonomics. Against rivals like the Vectra an
By 1993, the 605 SV arrived in European showrooms as Peugeot's answer to the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes W124 – a full-size saloon built to compete on comfort and technology rather than raw sportiness. The SV trim brought leather upholstery, air conditioning, and a power sunroof as standard equipment. Under the bonnet sat either the 3.0-litre V6 producing 190 horsepower, a 2.0-li
Japan's luxury sedan market in 1992 was dominated by Toyota Crown and Nissan Cedric, making Peugeot's 605 SV an unconventional choice. The turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 delivered 211 horsepower, positioning it as a genuine alternative for buyers seeking European sophistication over domestic prestige. Air conditioning and leather trim were non-negotiable in this segment.
The 1991 Japanese market received both the SV 3.0 and SV24 variants, positioned against the Nissan Cima and Toyota Soarer in a segment where displacement still mattered more than badge prestige. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder delivered 190 horsepower through a conventional layout, appealing to buyers who valued engineering substance over novelty. Japan's premium saloon buyers saw t
The 1993 605 SV24 arrived as a comprehensive package: a saloon, estate, and coupé body style shared the same platform, each tailored to different buyer priorities. Under the bonnet sat the 2.4-litre V6 producing 167 horsepower, paired with either manual or automatic transmission. Climate control, leather trim, and a comprehensive safety package made the brochure read like a wis
