FactThe 405 Mi16x4's viscous-coupling four-wheel-drive system was derived from the one developed for Peugeot's 405 T16 Grand Raid Paris-Dakar racer.
All-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated 16-valve evolution of the 405 Mi16, using a permanently engaged viscous-coupling AWD system with hydropneumatic rear suspension assistance — Peugeot's first AWD passenger car. Added to the range in late 1989 and dropped when the range was updated with a catalysed 2.0-litre engine in 1992. Never sold in the US (the US-market 405, sold 1988–1991, was FWD-only, matching the existing 'epa-405' generation). Not to be confused with the rallying-derived, turbocharged 405 T16 homologation special, a distinct and far more limited car.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

The 405 was already a sales phenomenon within its first years: the 500,000th car left Peugeot's Sochaux plant in 1989, and by 1990 the total had already topped one million.
Ten versions launched at once in July 1987, and it still won European Car of the Year with a record vote count.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
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.
