1998 PEUGEOT 806 1.9L TD 5MT FWD (92 HP)

Vehicle Overview

Peugeot 806 was one of the products that resulted from the Eurovan agreement between PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) and Fiat (Fiat-Lancia) launched in 1994 and refreshed in 1998.

Even though the minivan didn’t show its age, the carmakers had to improve their vehicles. When the two big European carmakers developed the range, they had to comply with the Euro 2 emission standards. Still, starting with January 2001, all passenger vehicles had to comply with newer, stricter requirements.

Peugeot used its number system to define its cars and assigned the 8 for that minivan. The refreshed version featured different headlights, with a sharp angular inner side. Also, the grille received a slimmer middle slat that supported the brand’s logo surrounded by a chromed trim. At the back, the carmaker moved the brand name centered on the liftgate with oversized letters and wrote the model name on the lower side of the rear window.

Inside, the 806 was a champion in its class in terms of versatility. Peugeot moved the gearshift lever from the floor to the dashboard and the handbrake on the driver’s left side (right-side for the right-hand-drive vehicles). As a consequence, there was a passage between the front seats toward the back of the car. The middle and the rear seats could have been moved or completely removed and used as picnic seats and placed on the ground.

For the engines, the 806 was available with the PSA engines exclusively. Peugeot offered a four-speed automatic gearbox for the 2.0-liter 16 gasoline engine, while for the rest of the range, it installed five-speed manuals.
