Award‑Winning Launch
The Peugeot 405 was launched in 1987 to much ballyhoo and immediately captured the European Car of the Year award. This early accolade helped cement its reputation as an all‑time classic.
Record‑Long Production Run
From its introduction in 1987 through a 33‑year span, the 405 became the twentieth most long‑lived single‑generation car in history, a status noted in early 2020. Its longevity reflects sustained popularity across multiple markets.
From Project D60 to Production
Development began under the internal name Project D60 as early as 1982, and the sedan entered production in April 1987 at the Sochaux plant. The Ryton factory was also modernised and started building the 405 that same year, showcasing Peugeot’s commitment to the model.
