About the Peugeot 405 Phase 2
The Phase 2 Peugeot 405 refined Pininfarina's elegant design with a revised interior and a deeper boot lid for easier loading. The 1.9 TD variant utilized the legendary XUD9TE engine, which became the benchmark for diesel performance and longevity in the 1990s. While not fast by modern standards, its chassis was widely praised by contemporary critics for offering a class-leading balance of supple ride comfort and sharp handling. As a usable modern classic, it is increasingly sought after for its mechanical simplicity and the durability of its PSA powertrain.
