1. Peugeot 406 interior and exterior
The Peugeot 406 was designed as a versatile family car, which is why it’s available in all three most popular body types: estate, coupé, and saloon. Depending on the body type you go for, the wheelbase of your new 406 can range from 4,555 to 4,736 mm, although the seating capacity remains the same for each body type: the car can comfortably sit from 4 to 5 passengers.
The interior of the Peugeot 406 can be characterized by two things: roominess and build quality. If you look at a well-maintained 406 from 20 years ago, you will notice that the interior looks as fresh as the interior of a much newer car thanks to the high quality of the materials used in the construction.
2. Peugeot 406 specifications
Perhaps, the most important part of our Peugeot 406 review is the performance specification. The Peugeot 406 was powered by a variety of engines depending on the chosen body type. There was a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, 2.2L diesel and petrol engines, 2.9 V6 engine, and 3.0L V6 engine.
Most of the Peugeot 406 cars produced in that decade came with a 4-speed automatic transmission, although fans of manual transmissions could still enjoy a 5-speed manual transmission that was available only with the 2.9L V6 Peugeot 406 engine.
The Peugeot 406 fuel consumption data is a major deciding factor for many car buyers, and we must say that the Peugeot 406 is not the most fuel efficient car you can buy. With a 12.9L/100km fuel consumption in the city cycle and 9.1L/100km in the combined cycle, fuel expenses are going to be a big part of your budget as a Peugeot 406 owner.
