Produced between 1979 and 1992, the Peugeot 505 was a 4-door sedan with a difficult legacy.

While it was designed to replace the already dated Peugeot 504, its predecessor was the most successful model of Peugeot. Even if they shared most of the underpinnings, the 505 never achieved the sensational sales figures of the 504, at least not in Europe.

While the exterior design was the work of Pininfarina, the interior was designed by Paul Bracw, an automotive designer remarked for his work at Mercedes-Benz, BMW and others.

The last Peugeot’s rear-wheel-drive sedan, the 505 was available with a choice of gasoline and Diesel engines two different body styles: sedan or wagon. The wagon in the Familiale version could accommodate up to 8 occupants. The wagon later served as base for transforming it into a 4x4 ambulance.

Greatly praised for the incredible handling on rougher roads, the Peugeot 505 was very popular in the less developed countries. Other goodies that the Peugeot 505 offered were a power assisted steering and high ground clearance, as well a 4-wheel disc brakes on some models.

Peugeot had in plan to release both a coupe and a convertible version, however, the economic crisis affected them and the vehicles remained at a prototype stage.

Greatly known for their reliability, some of the Peugeot 505s managed to exceed 500,000 km.
