Peugeot 406

The Peugeot 406 was a large family car made by the French automaker Peugeot from 1995 to 2004. Available in saloon, estate and coupé bodystyles with a choice of petrol or turbodiesel engines, the 406 replaced the Peugeot 405 in Peugeot's lineup, and was itself replaced by the Peugeot 407. It used the same platform as the Citroën Xantia, though without that car's sophisticated hydropneumatic suspension system.

This car won 1996 What Car? car of the year and 1997 Semperit Irish Car of the Year. It also lost out by a narrow margin in the 1996 European Car of the Year award by the Fiat Bravo/Brava.
