FactA planned 605 estate was abandoned entirely, leaving the flagship without the wagon Peugeot usually built.
An executive car produced by Peugeot from July 1989 to September 1999, with a facelift in 1995, designed by Pininfarina on the same platform as the Citroën XM as the successor to the slow-selling 604. It was built at Sochaux and Vesoul. The 505 was phased out at the end of the 1980s in favour of two cars, the 405 and the 605, and a planned 605 estate was abandoned. It launched in July 1989 in left-hand drive with only petrol engines, with the turbodiesel following in April 1990 and the naturally aspirated diesel in autumn 1990, and a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol was added in 1991. In early 1993 all the PRV V6s lost 12 cc so as to fit a lower Swiss tax class. High equipment levels, a luxurious interior, a smooth ride and exceptional handling were its strengths, but it was too like the smaller 405 to command a price premium, and like the XM it first suffered quality and electrical problems, leading to a costly recall. The 1995 "Phase 2" facelift did not repair its reputation.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
