Peugeot 604 1975 - 1985

The Peugeot 604 is a French prestige sedan launched in 1975, embodying the lion brand's ambition in the segment of elegant and spacious touring sedans. This Peugeot 604 history spans two distinct generations, the first (1975-1989) marked by refined design signed by Pininfarina and reliable mechanics, followed by a second generation (1989-2000) refined with more modern lines and increased onboard technology. The Peugeot 604 model positioned itself as a direct competitor to the Mercedes-Benz E-Class and BMW Series 5 of the era, offering a French alternative to German prestige with an excellent balance between comfort and performance. Throughout the Peugeot 604 generations, the manufacturer refined its approach: six-cylinder engines progressing in power and efficiency, cabin becoming increasingly refined, and safety systems evolving with European regulations. The 604 impressed with its road versatility, generous habitability and mechanical reliability, making many units today's sought-after collector vehicles. Although the model disappeared at the turn of the millennium, replaced by the 607 range, the used Peugeot 604 remains prized by classic French automobile enthusiasts, testifying to the lasting heritage of this flagship of French expertise.
