The seller offers for sale this 1990 Peugeot 605, a large executive sedan powered by a 3.0L V6 engine, paired with a manual transmission. This particular example has been converted to run on LPG, offering a more affordable fuel option without sacrificing performance. With a verified mileage of just 107.112 km, it presents as a rare opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example of Peugeot’s flagship from the early 1990s.
As Peugeot’s answer to the luxury offerings from German brands, the 605 was designed to offer comfort, smooth performance, and understated elegance. The 6-cylinder engine is known for its refinement, and with power steering and disc brakes, the car delivers a relaxed yet capable driving experience. The lighting and indicators are reported to work correctly.
The bodywork is in good shape, showing only minor signs of wear such as light scratches or small imperfections. The paint appears well maintained and consistent. The interior is described as clean and proper, with limited wear in line with the mileage and age.
Mechanically, the car is good. A recent inspection is valid, and the car is said to be ready for the road.
The Peugeot 605 was introduced in 1989 as the successor to the 505, and marked a significant step forward in Peugeot’s design and engineering direction. Built on the same platform as the Citroën XM, the 605 featured advanced technology, a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout, and a focus on ride comfort. Peugeot enlisted the help of the Italian design house Pininfarina to shape the car, resulting in clean, aerodynamic lines that distinguished it from many of its more angular contemporaries.
The 3.0L PRV V6 engine found in this model was a well-established unit co-developed with Volvo and Renault. Though not the most powerful in its class, it delivered smooth power delivery and a refined driving experience, particularly when combined with the manual transmission. Interior comfort and spaciousness were key selling points, with high-spec versions featuring options such as leather seats, automatic climate control, and electronic aids.
Despite its technical ambitions, the 605 struggled in some markets due to its electronics and relatively high price tag. Over time, its reputation improved as enthusiasts and collectors began to appreciate the design, comfort, and character of these French sedans. Survivors with low mileage, like this one, are now becoming increasingly uncommon and are appreciated by those seeking a more distinctive alternative to German executive cars from the same era.
