Peugeot 406

The Peugeot 406 is a prestige compact sedan launched in 1995, representing one of the flagship models of the French manufacturer during two decades. Part of the Peugeot 406 story, this model marked European automotive history with its innovative design signed by Pininfarina, generous interior space and strategic positioning against rivals such as the Renault Laguna and Opel Vectra. Available in two distinct generations (1995-2004 for the first, 2004-2010 for the second), the sedan evolved with technological innovations and market expectations, successively offering ever more powerful and economical petrol and diesel engines. The Peugeot 406 model distinguished itself through its versatility, available as a four-door sedan and five-door estate, meeting the needs of families and professionals seeking comfort and reliability. Throughout the Peugeot 406 generations, the vehicle integrated essential safety systems, refined ergonomics and better quality steering, while maintaining the distinctive character that made it a prestigious and affordable alternative to the German premium sedan segment. Although the model was replaced by the 407 in 2004 and then by the following 508 generations, the Peugeot 406 remains a highly sought-after classic on the used car market, appreciated for its durability and interesting equipment-to-price ratio among collectors and daily users.
